hey there,<br><br>the synchronisation script works quite well, and is such a handy thing to have... :-) and the updater seems to be working quite well as well (i did a bunch more testing yesterday), altho the interface is a little clumsy.
<br><br>anyway mythtools has a few dependencies, namely:<br>LWP::Simple;<br>HTML::TokeParser<br>Cache::FileCache<br>DBI (and the mysql driver)<br><br>which are all perl libraries. I re-wrote the parser yesterday and it was working fine, however today it seems the synopsis grabbing is broken.
<br><br>when using this, please take all care, and do a backup of your mythtv database before you make changes)<br><br>if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know.<br><br>regs<br>Ryszard<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

<br>there are basically two tools involved here:<br>1) sync.pl - a tool that will have a look on your harddisk and in the database, and perform a syncronisation. it will remove stuff in your database that is not on the harddisk, and put stuff in the database that is on disk and doesnt already exist.
<br>2) vidupdate.pl - a tool that will look in the myth database for a particular category (from the videocategory table) of video that has no plot. it compiles a list of all these and will then go to <a href="http://tv.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
tv.com</a> to get the details for you, much like the IMDB tool does for movies. on the down side, this is not integrated into either mythweb or mythfrontend, but is instead run from a command line.<br><br>now since there are masses of tv shows available and people are recording and storing, i was wondering if anyone was interested in beta testing it.
<br><br>given that its beta the regualr caveats apply, ie back up your database and any important data before playing around with it.<br><br></blockquote><br></div></span></div><div>Sounds interesting, where would I get these scripts?
</div><div><br></div><div>I'm building a Myth test system as I am reluctant to "play around" with a working box. I might try those out on the test machine, but it will be a week or so before I could get around to it.
