I don't know if anyone else still uses the xmltv2vdr.pl perl script for piping XMLTV data into VDR's epg, but I've been keeping a version of it updated with some additional function here:
https://github.com/oldmanuk/xmltv2vdr
These are the changes since the last version (1.0.9) was released on the mailing list
- Add support for XMLTV episode-num. Currently gets added as EPG entry
'sub-title', if no existing subtitle has been found, in the form sXXeXX (e.g., Bones~s01e01).
- Change default SVDRP port number to 6419.
- Better support for ATSC/PVRINPUT EPG sources.
- Allow multiple channels to have the same XMLTV channel id, useful for
multi input (e.g., DVB-T, DVB-S) systems where you want to feed VDR the same info. Previously only a 1:1 mapping was permitted.
I've also received a pull request from someone who rewrote the whole script to be a lot more readable and to use full XML parsing (rather than just line-by-line scraping), but I still need to investigate what the performance penalty is before accepting that in.
Yep! I still use it on a daily basis.
:-)
Will grab new version over the weekend and give it a whirl.
Cheers,
