[mythtv-users] Frontend Guide Data

[Darren]

Hi there... here's a few sql commands that could be of assistance. Log into 
mysql as the mythbackend user and select the mythconverg database.
I'm assuming you know how to log into mysql so here are the commands to use. 
The first will get chanid and a show title to help with which chanid belongs 
to which station. 
You can put any program title you want in replace of news in this command. 
The % signs are wild cards and not essential but if left out the search 
titles must be exact.

SELECT DISTINCT chanid, title FROM program WHERE title LIKE '%news%';

The next sql command will retrieve channel data. Use both of these together to 
determine which epg chanid's belong to which channel.

SELECT chanid, name, callsign FROM channel;

The 'chanid' field link channel and program data and must equal respective 
channels and programs.
You can use the following command to change OLD to NEW chanid's. Replace NEW 
with the chanid from the first command above. The OLD identifies which record 
is going to be changed so get that from the second command.

UPDATE channel SET chanid = NEW WHERE chanid = OLD;

It's important that this is not screwed up so if your not sure what to do just 
run the first 2 commands and post the results back here, and also a link to a 
local channel guide would be helpful.

e.g. If the Simpsons are on channel 10.  Using the first command and replace 
the word news with simpsons will reveal the chanid say 6666. Using the second 
command will reveal channel 10's chanid as 0000. They need to be the same so 
we use the update command to change it and that will be 
UPDATE channel SET chanid = 6666 WHERE chanid = 0000;

good luck.
