Hi,
A few quick points.
- Myth is GPL. You should be able to get the source to the D1
version of mythfilldatabase and have a look at it. Once you have
this, figuring out how to switch xmltv input back on should be
relatively easy. Note, I use the term "relative" in the sense of "it
will be easier with source than without source". Depending on your
mAd haxor skillz, and how much D1 changed mythfilldb, that might not
be easy in any absolute sense. But, at least you'd know you're
working with the right version of mythfilldb, which uses the correct
database schema, etc.
- I've seen some posts about setting up cron jobs to call
mythfilldatabase rather than having myth call it. This seems
somewhat irrelevant to me. You can set things up either way, but you
need to get mythfilldatabase running and accepting XMLTV input
first. I'm assuming that the HMC already calls some version of
mythfilldatabase - I'd just leave that part of things alone, until
you know you need to mess with it.
- When you do look at the D1 version of mythfilldatabase, it
might also help to look at this script: http://
www.onlinetractorparts.com.au/rohbags/xmltvau/ . That script takes
data from D1 and generates XMLTV data, allowing normal myth users to
use the XMLTV data. You want to do the reverse, get normal XMLTV
data into D1 format. It might give you insight into how D1 store
their data and help you add normal XMLTV input back into your HMC.
Or it might not :)
- Once you get all that working, there are other XMLTV sources
than just tvguide.org.au: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/xmltv/ .
Don't get me wrong, they're a great source and probably the one I'd
try first (I wrote the XMLTV grabber :), but don't think they're the
only source.
Be well,
Will :-}
