[mythtv-users] A tv_grab_uk_bleb grabber

[Paul Woodward]

I've successfully run the script and it seems to get the listings
nicely. I can't however figure out what mythfilldatabase uses to try and
match the channel listings to the database contents. Can anyone shed any
light on what criteria it uses?

I've just run mythfilldatabase --manual and done it the long way. Now I
have good looking data in the EPG too :)

Thanks to Chris and John for the good work.

Paul

Hello,

After several late nights, I've produced "something that works".  It 
isn't pretty.  It's barely tested.  But..

Dependencies: Needs xsltproc and wget.  Both are available with Debian 
natch.

Installation: I put tv_grab_uk_bleb in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.  
Create /usr/share/xmltv/tv_grab_uk_bleb and put bleb2xmltv.xsl in it.  
Cos I'm lazy I rm'ed tv_grab_uk and made it a symlink to the bleb
version.

Configuration: See the top of the script.

TODO: process the parameters instead of just outputing to $6 (ahem).  
Including getting more than one days worth of data which needs to be 
cached somewhere (under /var?).  Put *all* the URLs in.

I've tested it with mythfilldatabase but only bbc1/2 and itv1/2.  They 
don't appear on the program guide but I can search for stuff and it 
finds them.  Hey, every journey starts with a single step.   License: 
whatever XMLTV uses!   Thanks for this great software btw (both sets of 
developers).
