[mythtv-users] Offline DataDirect database updates how?

[papenfuss at juneau.me.vt.edu]

	Hello all... due to logistic at the home, the mythtv box is offline.  
Always.  No cable modem, dsl, isdn, dialup, nada.  Yes it's a PITA.

	I brought the machine into my office last weekend and fried up the CVS 
with datadirect.  I had figured out how to manually update the database once a 
week or so by bringing a floppy with the compressed xml data home.  Basically, 
I ran:
tv_grab_na --config-file $CONFIG --output $OUTPUT
<insert sneakernet of $OUTPUT here>
mythfilldatabase --file Television -1 $OUTPUT

Now without tv_grab_na, this obviously doesn't work.  I've managed to get some 
xml data out of a 'ddclient' CLI program.  The mythfilldatabase doesn't seem to 
import it with the same command anymore.  Any thoughts on how I might update 
the system now?  Since I despise perl and tv_grab_na_dd is supposedly a 
temporary hack anyway, I'm not excited about trying to anally insert a 
newer xmltv into my mosly-source-compiled mythtv box.

Thoughts?

thanks,
-Cory
