It will generate a file for each source, with channels marked for inclusion (with = ) which are non-UseEIT, are visible are in the appropriate source and have a non blank XMLTVID. Other channels are marked for exclusion (with ! ). After manual inspection, they simply need copying over from current working directory to ~/.mythtv. | ||

This is a write up from memory of the main steps taken to set up Schedules Direct (SD) for a UK configuration, especially with respect to converting old Radio Times (RT) or Atlas feed configurations, both of which will be becoming unavailable at time of writing.
Back up your database. I take no responsibility for mistake or errors below or on your part - double check everything!
Contents
Create an account on Schedules Direct
Go to http://schedulesdirect.org/ and create an account; you get a 7 day free trial, which you can and should extend by a year (US$25) once you know it works for you. You'll need your username and password.
You do not need to do anything else on their website, the line-up configuration is all done by the grabber script.
Acquire XMLTV with tv_grab_zz_json
This step, which is beyond the scope of this article (somewhat unfortunately since it's not a small step) is to acquire the latest version of XMLTV containing a working tv_grab_zz_json
On most distros this means installing an xmltv-grabbers and/or xmltv packages.
Configure your feeds for the first time
Run:
tv_grab_zz_json --configure
.. and answer its questions.
- Ask for MythTV format channel IDs (5-digits), if only because that's what I used and appears in my mappings below.
- Where it asks for the country, I used GBR but apparently if you know the specific feed (and the list it offers after your post-code doesn't contain what you want (raise a ticket with SD in this case, they're very good as responding) you can enter the full line-up code (e.g., GBR-0001172-DEFAULT). See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tv.xmltv.devel/11247 for a list of codes for UK transmitters.
- If you can, use the code provided by the above link for your DVB-T transmitter. The post-code-based one (“OTA”) is actually likely not what you want (although it will offer the correct Satellite options).
- For your post-code, only enter first part, as it otherwise gets confused and only offers you limited (non-localised) sources.
- Ask for individual channels, not the full line-up, as it'll give you a chance to diagnose channel list issues, & disable channels (in the config file it creates, via “channel!12345” instead of “channel=12345”). For my BSkyB listings, the full set was ~600 channels, and I don't use anything like that many.
You should get a viable configuration file out of it, in ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_zz_json.conf, and see the list of xmltvids you have available. The file has configuration information at the head (eg username and password) followed by lines of the form channel=12345 .
Do a trial run
Run the grabber and check you get something sensible. If you have the default initial channel list this might give quite a large XML file.
tv_grab_zz_json --config-file ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_zz_json.conf --output /tmp/sd.xml
Make sure the grabber runs OK and the output file looks sane.
The file has entries like this:
<channel id="30644"> <display-name>BBC One (London)</display-name> <display-name>BBC1LDN</display-name> <display-name>001</display-name> </channel>
In this case, it is saying that the XMLTVID for BBC One (London) is 30644.
Update MythTV
Backup your database now! If you don't use /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl on a regular basis, start now.
Change the grabber configuration in mythtvsetup
You should probably edit your sources in mythtvsetup (remember you need to stop mythbackend when running that) to use tv_grab_zz_json. It is not believed that the built-in SD option in Myth works outside of the US as we think it still uses the XML API from SD, not the new JSON one, and only that has non-US feeds.
I haven't yet done that, as I run a script that fetches and injects the listings outside of Myth instead of getting it to do it off its own back for various reasons.
Update the channel database to use the SD channel IDs
Well, you can do this manually, or use a version of the SQL script below. Either use the mythtvsetup editor or the SQL command line. See the xmltvid mappings below.
Alternatively, Channel Editor version 2.01 (8 July 2016) has code which will read the huge file above, allow manual matching of the channels which do not match automatically and insert the ids into the database. It will do this and lots more which you would expect of a channel editor.
If you use the script below, search your setup for channel IDs that still aren't the 5-digit SD format, as you'll need to convert those yourself (and please add them to the list below for others!)
Remove old program IDs from the database
This is optional, and your call. I did it, and it mostly worked out OK.
It looks like if we change data source (and get different programme IDs) we might have to delete the programme IDs for all previously recorded episodes. If both previous and upcoming episodes have IDs, MythTV only uses them to detect duplicates, and thus will re-record everything it comes across. If one of the other is missing, it falls back to the usual mechanism (title/subtitle/etc.).
I used the following within mysql to delete old program IDs that XMLTV had injected (the patterns hopefully exclude those added by over-the-air EIT listings which will carry on as normal).
update oldrecorded set programid='' where \ programid rlike '^EP[0-9]+[a-z]?$' or \ programid rlike '^MV[0-9]+[a-z]?$' or \ programid rlike '^SH[0-9]+[a-z]?$' or \ programid rlike '^SP[0-9]+[a-z]?$'; update recorded set programid='' where \ programid rlike '^EP[0-9]+[a-z]?$' or \ programid rlike '^MV[0-9]+[a-z]?$' or \ programid rlike '^SH[0-9]+[a-z]?$' or \ programid rlike '^SP[0-9]+[a-z]?$'; update recordedprogram set programid='' where \ programid rlike '^EP[0-9]+[a-z]?$' or \ programid rlike '^MV[0-9]+[a-z]?$' or \ programid rlike '^SH[0-9]+[a-z]?$' or \ programid rlike '^SP[0-9]+[a-z]?$';
Even after this, I still found a whole load of re-recordings appear, but I think it would have been worse without doing it. If you skip this step, you'll probably just have to perform a little more upcoming-recordings maintenance for a while.
Set up the xmltv config
Copy ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_zz_json.conf over your previous ~/.mythtv/SOURCENAME.xmltv file(s), or maybe even creat the symbolic link to the xmltv original.
I actually copy the config. to a SOURCE.xmltv.hdr, and delete all the channel lines. Then, in my fetch script, I extend the config file (each time) with just the channels I have in my database, so that if I fiddle with channels, I don't have to remember to update the xmltv files (which I used to pretty much forget every time!).
# For the Freeview source, which is sourceid 1 in my setup cp -f $HOME/.mythtv/Freeview.xmltv.hdr $HOME/.mythtv/Freeview.xmltv mysql -NB -u DBUSER --password=DBPASS mythconverg -e \ 'select distinct concat("channel=",xmltvid) from channel where sourceid = 1 and xmltvid <> "" order by xmltvid' \ >> $HOME/.mythtv/Freeview.xmltv
It may be simpler to use Channel Editor which has a routine to generate all the SOURCENAME.xmltv files automatically. It will generate a file for each source, with channels marked for inclusion (with = ) which are non-UseEIT, are visible are in the appropriate source and have a non blank XMLTVID. Other channels are marked for exclusion (with ! ). After manual inspection, they simply need copying over from current working directory to ~/.mythtv.
Perform your first update
If you just go with the flow, it should be as simple as:
mythfilldatabase
At least initially, I recommend the following, to prevent extra rogue channels from your lineup being added. I always automatically check for and delete automatically added channels after the fetch (those without a channum field).
mythfilldatabase --only-update-guide --dont-refresh-tba
If you do things manually, follow your own modified process to do the deed.
Problems?
Try searching both the mythtv-users and xmltv-users mailing lists. If you want to post something, xmltv-users would be best solely for issues with the grabber, otherwise you should head to the mythtv-users list.
Please update this page with error fixes or other useful information!
Gotchas
- “Marvel's Agents of SHIELD” now comes down (correctly) as “Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” so existing rules likely won't match.
Appendices
Mapping of old RT IDs to new SD IDs
Please amend as you see fit, this is only the list of channels matching my set-up (South-East Freeview and BSkyB). Take the channel names with a bit of a pinch of salt - they could be well out of date as these things tend to change on a regular basis, and also reflect my preferences over advertised channel names(!).
The IDs may also be old ones which the RT grabber aliased when the channels changed; my setup dates back to 2004.
EDIT - Unlike the RT UK IDs, some channels will possibly have different SD IDs depending upon their source; I initially made this focussed on a Sky channel listing, but a couple are not present in DVB-T line-ups (selected from the transmitter-based list as opposed the the script-0proferred post-code based list). I've updated the list below, but not the SQL conversion script after it. You'll have to adjust those manually. Check the output of running tv_grab_zz_json for unrecognised channel IDs.

SQL script to convert the xmltvids in the database
This script should convert the xmltvid values in your database from RT ones to SD ones. I prefer to save this sort of thing off as a file, and then running it into a command-liane manually, as it allows you to test it with a copy of the file with just a single line in case of problems. If you save it as xmltv-map.sql then:
mysql --default-character-set=utf8 -u DBUSER --password=DBPASS mythconverg < xmltv-map.sql
