In a nutshell, what this does is listen for and decode the mheg stream then throw away data for channels you don't have configured in MythTV. mhegepgsnoop-0.6.0.py -c -v -p -o xmltv.xml Some of the default options are a bit odd, but this command line works for me:

It sniffs the guide data from your DVB-T stream. Thanks Hads! It's also a good option for people who only have satellite I understand that the DVB-T mheg data is as good as it gets in NZ.ĭue to a tip off on the MythTV NZ mailing list I took a look at mhegsnoop by David Moore and Bruce Wilson. That method provides sparse but functional guide data. Anyway, that script grabs the guide data from, loops through it, and drops anything for channels that aren't in your ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_nf file. I don't know how I found this originally. In the beginning I was using Hads' script tv_grab_nz-py. Now it's time to address this whole guide data thing. I've been using MythTV as my exclusive TV for a bit now, and slowly working through my personal list of paper cuts. Setting up MythTV already makes for a busy time, as you know, and initially I didn't really bother looking into anything trickier than strictly necessary. This is part of an attempt to bring some coherency to the quagmire that is New Zealand xmltv listing information. You will need to get API keys from TVDB and TMDB and stick them in ~/.xmltv/xmltv-proc-nz.xml They want a lot of information from you, but approval appears to be automatic.

There is help text in the sample config, and it should be quite obvious how to work it. It looks for xmltv-proc-nz.xml in ~/.xmltv I will continue to tidy it up and enhance it over the coming months, but it appears functional right now.Īn enhancement of Hads original, comprehensive work. I've hacked it to work with Python 3, and it seems to do a good job, but you will need to install the ported Python APIs for TMDB and TVDB from:

#Pytmdb3 nowplaying movie#

I do not know the background of how this came to be, but it required some custom data hosted online and the movie database API was out of date. What this does is tidy up the guide data a bit and augment it with matching stuff from and. I found xmltv-proc-nz, written by Hads, but it's bit out of date. For now you'll have to make do with xmltv-proc-nz I intend (have started) to write a new xmltv grabber that uses mhegepgsnoop data enhanced with goodness from the web.

This is something of a proof of concept at this stage, but it should be error free. #TMDB and TVDB xmltv enhancement for New Zealand
