Just to muddy the waters a bit, I did do some work a while ago to update
the python script to use python3 and to use the services api. I also sorted
out some of the problems with incorrect times and the like.
I've put a copy here https://pastebin.com/0tQFPBRB
It'll tell you what it does:
$ python3 cross-eit2.py -h
usage: cross-eit2.py [-h] [--debug] [--digest <user:pass>] [--forcehd]
[--host <hostname>] [--output <file>] [--port <port>]
[--shift <time shift>] [--version]
chanidN,xmlidN [chanidN,xmlidN ...]
Fetch EPG data for specified channels from a mythtv database and export this
data to an XMLTV formatted XML file
positional arguments:
chanidN,xmlidN list of chanid & xmlid pairs e.g. chanid1,xmlid1
chanid2,xmlid2 chanidN,xmlidN
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--debug turn on debug messages (False)
--digest <user:pass> digest username:password
--forcehd forces all output programmes to be flagged as HD
(False)
--host <hostname> backend hostname (localhost)
--output <file> output XML file name (./output.xml)
--port <port> port number of the Services API (6544)
--shift <time shift> time in minutes to move programme data (0)
--version show program's version number and exit
Default values are in ()s
So for channel4HD I take the data from chaniid 18312 which is my Channel4+1
and invoke it like this:
/usr/bin/python3 /home/mythtv/scripts/cross-eit2.py
--output=/tmp/export.xml --forcehd --shift -60 18312,ch4.guide >
/home/mythtv/scripts/cross-eit2.out
and then I run mythfilldatabase like this:
/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase -v --loglevel debug --file --sourceid 1 --xmlfile
/tmp/export.xml > /home/mythtv/scripts/mythfilldatabase.out
I was going to do some more work on it but of course once I'd got it
working something else came along and it got sidelined. Still, it might
help someone out...
Cheers
