Hi, I'm currently writing a script to rename program titles in the MythTV database. The main reason for this is that here in the UK, some programs get a prefix stuck on the front of them. The worst offenders for this are T4 (a weekend morning thing on Channel 4), who rename all the shows that are shown during the morning to, for example, "T4:Futurama". Now it annoys me that I have to have 2 rules to record Futurama, as well as getting duplicates and having episodes stored in two locations in the program list.
So, I'm writing a script to rename fields. I've got the SQL worked out, and it's all working fine, but I need a way to make mythbackend update its scheduled recordings from the script. This is because once the titles are renamed, they aren't picked up for recording until you manually update the appropriate recording rule - even if you just open it in the frontend and hit save. This makes it impossible to do on a nightly cron job after mythfilldatabase, as the recording schedules won't be updated correctly. Anyone got any ideas how I can trick the backend into updating its scheduled recordings? Alternatively, does anyone know a better way to rename programs, perhaps within xmltv or mythfilldatabase? cheers, -- James Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
