The list archive site is now here:

https://lists.archive.carbon60.com/mythtv/

but it does not seem to have your Python 3 version of cross-eit.py,
and Google does not find it either.  So please repost it, and I will
have a go running it and see if I can see anything.

The mythfilldatabase output you posted is quite explicit in the error
it is finding: "Unknown xmltv channel identifier: Channel - Skipping
channel."  Is that still the error you are getting?  If so, the
xmltvid in the .xml file you are importing is not matching anything in
the database.  What is the output of:

head /tmp/export.xml

Is there only one channel showing in the headers at the top of the
file?  If you cut and paste the xmltvid from there into this query, is
that xmltvid found in the database?

select sourceid,chanid,channum,name,callsign,xmltvid from channel
where xmltvid='<paste here>';

If found, does the sourceid for the channel match the sourceid you are
using in the mythfilldatabase command?
