One of the good things about XMLTV is the wide range of countries, but it's also a good source for bug reports :) > I set stop to start when stop is missing, which isn't entirely correct, since > only start and channel are required attributes of programme. This made the > programme invisible in my grid widget because it's drawn to "scale." Actually, we don't do it inside xmltv.py, it's done in our code. But we set it to midnight prog.stop = timestr2secs_utc(p['start'][0:8] + '235900' + p['start'][14:18]) But it works ok, because it only affects the last day in a set of grabs; and only the last program. There is no way to be more accurate then that. > SQLite is indeed very neat. I looked at it for a potential C project a while > back.

I think sqlite can handle what we want... Ideally, I'd like us to match the MythTV tables, but they're actually more limited in what they can do because MySQL lacks subselects and foreign keys. I assume they've probably had to work around that, but I prefer that this xmltv is normalized properly since there is a lot of data. > That's a known deficiency in XMLTV 0.5 that's fixed in 0.6.
