Re: [mythtv-users] tv_grab_au which script?
Michael, could you please clarify the example duplicate config entry for me?
#''ABC ACT' = 'act.abc.gov.au'
#$duplicate = {
# 'act.abc.gov.au' = { 'ABC HD' = 'hd.abc.gov.au',
# 'ABC CHAN 22' = '22.abc.gov.au' },
# 'eastern.sbs.com.au' = { 'SBS HD' = 'hd.eastern.sbs.com.au' }
#};
'ABC ACT' is the corresponding channel title of the tv guide.
Why is 'ABC HD' and 'ABC CHAN 22' needed? They don't correspond with
the channel titles of the tv guide. Can those values be set to an
arbitary string?
Thanks heaps,
Sammo

Yes. When used with mythtv I don't imagine these values will be used at
all --- you can set them to anything you want as long as they are unique
within a given pair of braces.
I put them in there just in case(TM). The XML file produced by
tv_grab_au has channel definitions of the form
channel id=act.abc.gov.au
display-name lang=enABC ACT/display-name
/channel
and it seemed reasonable to allow users to change the name used in the
duplicated versions of these. That may actually be useful to someone
using the script with programs other than mythtv (not that I know of
anyone doing that).
Certainly,
'act.abc.gov.au' = { '1' = 'hd.abc.gov.au', '2' = '22.abc.gov.au' }
would be a reasonable form. If there are enough complaints I'll happily
reconsider this decision(*).
Cheers,
Michael.
(*) originally I just had something like this:
$duplicate = {
'act.abc.gov.au' = [ 'hd.abc.gov.au', '22.abc.gov.au' ]
}

Re: [mythtv-users] tv_grab_au which script?
Hi all, While I havent actually used it, the Michael Smith one does indeed look better. It is not suprising that only a 1 line fix was required for this recent change as this script appears to use a proper HTML parser modue rather than plain regexes which are more suceptable to minor changes (addition of a new attribute, not actually a change of the attribute of interest is what broke the other script). Neither of them are particularly maintainable IMHO. Perl doesnt lend itself to that for starters, and there doesnt appear to be much documentation, at least at a high-level, of how the parsing actually works. An ideal design would abstract the parsing and support code, and be easily extensible to add more sources. The other HWW sites (seven, yahoo etc) are ideal candidates as they have much in common (region id's, pids etc). A d1 source could be trivially added to such a source also (isnt d1 data already in XMLTV format?), and perhaps oztivo too. Time permitting I may write such a grabber in python. Hosting and starting an sf project etc, are probably not really appropriate for such a script. Legal issues could arrise if unwanted attention is drawn to the script, and rapid changes are required to adapt to problems like this recent one (we cant all have commit access to sf??). I think the mailing list is doing an ok job, when someone asks, they get pointed in the right direction fairly quickly. Though I agree it is difficult for a newbie who doesnt look on this list and just follows the instructions at mythtv.org... Dave On 8/4/05, Phill Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree with Matt.

Also if they change their database we can ve confident that they will change their grabber script to support it. Time permitting I may write such a grabber in python. That would be great!

Re: [mythtv-users] tv_grab_au which script?
Hi tv_grab_au users,
I've consolidated all changes posted on this list in this version. It was a
big pain and is hopefully correct.
I've also included a fixes.diff of the simple change to get older versions to
work. To use type 'patch tv_grab_au fixes.diff'
Maybe its time to changing to Michael Smith's version. But I and most people
are reluctant (maybe too lazy) to change our settings in mythtv.
There is a python xmltv site at http://pytvgrab.sf.net and I'm a developer if
your interested David Collett.
