Comment (by willu.mailingLists at cse.unsw.edu.au):
Hi,
I maintain [http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/xmltv/tv_grab_au_reg.html
tv_grab_au_reg], an XMLTV grabber for two Australian data sources. Based
on my quick glance at the new XMLTV, it shouldn't be too hard to support
the new discovery spec (just need to add two simple command line options).
I'm more concerned about some of the additional requirements on the
baseline capability. I hope that Myth doesn't lose the capability to
interpret timestamps without explicit timezones.
Finally, as far as backwards compatability, I think it would be good to
support the version of XMLTV currently in Debian Stable. That could be as
simple as allowing the user to enter the path and command line options to
a grabber manually, and not failing if you can't find 'tv_find_grabbers'.
i.e. it might be harder to configure if you're using Debian Stable, but it
is still possible. Myth can already do this, so just don't take that
functionality out.
