You inspired me. I just wrote this quick script to display my
MythNews headlines. Anyone know if it's possible to trigger an
external script while watching TV? I set it to run every hour, but
I'd much prefer it to run when I hit a button on my remote and feel
like being depressed.
Use/modify it if you like.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use XML::RSS;
use DBI;
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:mythconverg','mythtv','mythtv');
my $sql = "SELECT url FROM newssites ORDER BY updated DESC";
my $sth = $dbh->prepare( $sql );
$sth->execute || die ('Could not execute SQL statement: $sql');
my $sNews;
while ( my $row = $sth->fetchrow )
{
my $rss = new XML::RSS;
$rss->parse( get( $row ) );
foreach my $item (@{$rss->{'items'}})
{
$sNews .= "$item->{'title'} - $item->
{'description'} ";
}
}
`mythtvosd --template=scroller scroll_text="$sNews"`;

...and so how do you enforce that? But that is a funny idea. Kudos!

I thought I would share the mythtv user's crontab with the list.
Open Source is even good for parenting ;-)
