[mythtv-users] EIP or xmltv

[Richard Morton]

Interesting debate. I am un the uk using freeview and soon freesat also. I
use eit. Its easier to setup and also hope that at some point they will, at
somepoint introduce realtime updates, its not like it would be very hard to
join the dots between broadcasting decisions and guide data.

I would love myth to support hybrid but the complexity is horrendous and a
usecase that would hardly be used compared to the development effort of
hanling the permutations.

Nevertheless xmltv for long(er) range info and _-€ for 7 day info with
series/episode information being optionally retained or overwritten. I am
sure there are many complications and much user confusion that would ensue.

The upshot is that I understand from many that xmltv is worth implementing,
and I was planning this as my next upgrade. I am surprised by the statement
here that eit contains more series/episode information.

However my main concern is the instability of my remote frontend on
initiaiting playback (hanging). Also my own implementation issue of nfs
mount dependancies (one mount depending on the success of another due to
many small hds).

The fun of Myth

The Freeview EIP is sometimes updated when programmes overrun, but
when MythTV notices the change it can completely screw up the
recordings - http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7369

The EIP was updated during the day this week when the snow conditions
caused Olympic events to be rescheduled.

I use the EIP because it includes series and programme ids, resulting
in better series link and duplicate episode detection than with
radiotimes data.
