I recently switching from a fairly custom cron script invoking
tv_grab_foo and piping to mythfilldatabase in favour of letting
mythfilldatabase call the grabbers itself (which AIUI is the intended
modern way of doing things, it's certainly less faff for me to
maintain).

This does have the downside that it is more difficult to inject things
like a tv_grep into the procedure.

At one point I started on a wrapper, but the need for it went away
before I got around to make it work well.

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or best practice for
handling this sort of thing?

I've just spotted tv_grab_combiner, maybe that would be a useful
template to follow for a tv_grab_{pipeline,filter} command which rather
than combining multiple grabbers would just transform the output of one
grabber while retaining the expected API.
