http://doc.freevo.org/XMLTVAustralian Using the usual resources (favourite web search engine to locate another mailing list archive) I found an answer which is simple enough. It shouldn't break on update either. Freevo wiki is then linked to the Shepherd wiki with Freevo instructions. I put them under the Myth ones, being polite. The concept of Shepherd is very good. It rates various grabbers and then asks the best site for your data, then calculates gaps in the data and calls the next grabber to fill in the gaps etc. After that it searches IMDB for data on the movies and puts that in, then sorts out the programmes which are series with different episodes, naming them consistently so that recording servers can find them even if the names vary in the original data. I started looking at different scripts when the data for 2 TV stations ran out last week and am pleased with the results. -- There is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has not yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day. -- Friedrich Nietzsche ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
