Hello,
I've recently set up a mythtv back end (using mythweb as a front end
until I get PC for the living room). Looking at the radio times xmltv
data, it appears to provide info on whether a show is a repeat and a
"series id" number for each show, which doesn't currently appear in the
EIT over the air data.
Does this extra information help mythtv scheduling? There don't appear
to be unique "program id" numbers in the radio times data (which would
be the most useful for scheduling and detecting duplicates). I'm
currently using the EIT data as I like the idea of dynamic rescheduling
if a program gets delayed, does mythtv do this (I thought I read
somewhere it does but can no longer find that page...)?
Any advice/opinions on which source of schedule data is best to use at
present would be welcome. I'm running 0.19 as there is no 0.20 package
for debian stable yet.
regards,
drbob
