I've put it up at
http://www.zen.org/~brendan/entie-grabber-v0.2.tar.gz
Invoke it with something like
% perl tv_grab_ie_entie --config-file ~/.mythtv/NTL\ Digital\
Dublin.xmltv --out t-ie
and then run
% mythfilldatabase --file 2 -1 ./t-ie
I had to use a video source of '2' since I've got two entries (the first
was for NTL analog, but I stopped trying that when I realized I need two
tuner cards to really take advantage of recording off analog while
watching digital), with the second as my NTL digital cable one. Unless
you did something equally odd, you'll probably run
% mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 ./t-ie
Unresolved:
- I'm curious how to speed it up.
- Also the progress bar is broken somehow making it go past 100%.
- The cast info is available for most films, just a matter of parsing
'Starring ... .' and splitting them on commas, etc.
- figure out a more elegant/usable way to handle the channel_ids file
(until it's available via GetSupplement)
- The entertainment.ie output has got nothing obvious to make it
categorize programs elegantly.
- Some of the missing channels would be covered if I can get
tv_grab_uk_bleb to work.
- Schedule info is only available thru Saturday (!!!); the
entertainment.ie server gives an SQL error for Sunday and Monday,
whether you get the URL by this script or if you just use their site.
Hopefully it'll be getting fixed there. :)
