[mythtv-users] Converting from DD to xmltv

[Richard Shaw]

I'm finally getting tired of getting incomplete information, especially
season and episode data, from DD. It's causing quite a few recordings to
not show up in Plex which we're using on Roku TVs instead of having to
build mini-frontends.

I'm following the directions from the wiki[1] but I'm not sure I'm getting
the whole story...

So i'm pretty much at the point of deleting and re-adding channels since
the IDs are in a different format. If I was just doing OTA I would see if I
could manually translate them but with Cables 200+ channels, I'm not going
to that much trouble.

So far the side effects are:

1. Existing recordings will show the wrong channel?
2. The wiki doesn't mention if I'll have to re-setup all my recording
rules...

I currently have two sources

[1] OTA
[2] Comcast

Is it possible to setup a 3 & 4 with tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite and have both
until everything that was recorded on 1 & 2 expire?

Would there be any benefit to doing that?

Thanks,
Richard
