Hi,
I have been experimenting with tv_grab_dvb 0.8 in order to fill in the blanks that the uk_rt grabber leaves for BBC Radio channels, but have not yet been able to work out how to just let it populate the XML file to import into MythTV with *just* the channels I want i.e. BBC Radio 1-4 etc, without it getting listings for every other channel it finds.
I run the grabber with './tv_grab_dvb -c -t 60 -s > dvbtest.xml' which results in a couple of minutes in a file of ~3.5MB.
I have removed the channels I do not want in the local channels.conf for the grabber and also removed the unwanted channels from chanidents - the result of which is just having the chosen channels listed at the top of the new XML file, but still the full set of program info. I'm hesitant to pass this file to mythdatabasefill in case it overwrites everything, but as I am not a C or Perl hacker I'm not wanting to spend ages looking through the source if it's a simple option to pass to the grabber or database filler.
I think this would be a most useful extension to the program if it doesn't already do this, but am not sure whether people already know ways of doing this already. It must be possible also to take the fully laden XML file and then selectively import only channels listings that are wanted - any tips on this also gratefully accepted.
Cheers,
Nick
Hi Nick,
Actually, it doesn't matter - mythfilldatabase will just reject items in the dvb scrape that are not in the channel list - specifically, it uses the xmltvid to do this - just make sure your xmltvid in the channel table matches the entries you get from the guide, and it will do the rest for you.
Cheers,
