Rich:

I downloaded your script and followed your instructions, but I got an error
from the MythTV python bindings:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./mythcal", line 107, in <module>
    recordings = get_recordings_from_backend()
  File "./mythcal", line 99, in get_recordings_from_backend
    if mythtv.isRecording(recorder):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/MythTV/MythTV.py", line 295,
in isRecording
    res = self.backendCommand('QUERY_RECORDER
'+BACKEND_SEP.join([recorder,'IS_RECORDING']))
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, int found

So, just for grins, I changed line 295 to be:

res = self.backendCommand('QUERY_RECORDER
'+BACKEND_SEP.join([str(recorder),'IS_RECORDING']))

changing 'recorder' from an int to a string and, lo and behold, I had
entries in my calendar. However, I don't know what I am breaking by changing
this.  Any ideas?

Regards,

Ken E.
