Tommi’s stuff

I just finished updating my tv_grab_is script to use the xml interfaces which every Icelandic broadcasting company has.

I changed the xmltv id’s to reflect changes of names at 365. Sýn became Stöð 2 Sport, Sýn2 became Stöð 2 Sport 2, etc…

If you are using mythtv you need to update your xmltvid’s for channels and also the ~/.mythtv/FILENAME.xmltv. Run

tv_grab_is –list-channels

You can always get my newest version from my trac.

You will need to install the perl module XML::Simple until I rewrite the xml handling code but I’m too lazy right now, install methods:

yum install perl-XML-Simple

apt-get perl-XML-Simple

cpan perl-XML-SImple

I’m expecting to start work on changing tv_grab_is program guide grabber to utilize the new XML feeds from 365 (Stöð 2) and also using the XML from RUV in the next few days. Sadly Skjár 1 have not yet created a XML feed so I’ll have to keep on doing HTML parsing for their program data.

Also going to revisit having the xmltv folks accept my new version.

My current version of tv_grab_is
