Here's my script, I wrote it first as a tv.com scraper, then added the calls needed for MythTV. I'm new at PERL and coding in general, I'm sure it could use some cleaning up, etc. So if anyone has any changes/etc drop me an email and I'll add them. One thing I'd like to have is a way to add the more detailed show information and better db error checking. I do have it set to use the filename as the show name/seasoninfo input since I have a specific naming scheme I use, This could easily be taken in as arguements if needed for some other purpose. -- Steve
