[mythtv-users] Python Bindings - Snooping MythTV System Events

Hi All,
I have been looking at MythTV System Events (
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_System_Events ) since I would like to
monitor what is happening and where in my mythtv environment (i.e., which
FEs are playing what recordings, where do recordings get deleted, etc).
I realise I could configure each of the event handlers in mythTV backend to
perform an action (i.e. log the event) but I was hoping I could just use
the python bindings to write a script which snoops for such events and them
performs an action (i.e. log the event).
The benefit here is that I leave the actual event handlers free to
configure in the future should I need to use them locally for that FE.
Another benefit is that I can configure many actions to perform for
specific events. And I also get to play with the bindings. :)
I didn't get very far with the Python bindings though. I could make it so
I saw all internal system events which was way more than I needed.
Has anyone here tried to do anything similar? Any pointers on what I
should be looking at? Is the dev list a better audience for this question?
I am currently running 0.26-fixes.
Thanks,
Whytey
