New version of tv_grab_is for Icelandic program listings

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

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
