Yeah.  You don't want to use the individual .ts files.  You want to use
the:

https://cbclivedai5-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/567235/event2/CBOT/master5.m3u8

URL in a MythTV .m3u file such as this:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,601 - CBC_LIVE
#EXTMYTHTV:xmltvid=72772
https://cbclivedai5-i.akamaihd.net/hls/live/567235/event2/CBOT/master5.m3u8

I don't know if the xmltvid for that URL is actually correct, nor
frankly how to get guide data from XMLTV for that xmltvid.  If anyone
knows, please fill me in.

In any case, I was able to use the above .m3u file to record from the
live stream.  Pretty yay on that.  Now to just get guide data for it. 
Anyone care to suggest how that is done assuming a correct xmltvid in
the .m3u file.  I suppose though, given that I'd use my local CBC
channel, the SD guide data would be just as good.  Still interested in
how to get that XMLTV guide data though if anyone knows.

Cheers,
b.
