tv_grab_dvb - dump dvb epg info in xmltv Please Email me with [DVBEPG] in subject to filter out spam - Copyright (C) 200 4 Mark Bryars DVB code Mercilessly ripped off from dvbdate NEWS ---- 08/05/2004 - Ver 0.5 Released First fairly usable release, with correct time information! I've only had UK testers report back so far with this release Thanks to Steve Davies and Mark Kendall for their helpful suggestions and testing with the London 8 day EPG broadcast test. If you are getting any Unknown ID:?? in your output, let me know if you know what this should be. In the UK we seem to be getting a lot of 'f0' which I can't find out what they are meant to be. Eastenders seems to be categorised with it, but so does a range of murder mystery things. CHANGES ------- Version 0.5 - 08/05/2004 - Fixed time output to be in local time. - Fixed decoding of UK 7/8 day epg - Bad date redefined to be before 24hrs ago and after 2 weeks from now - Documented option -d to parse bad date packets - Disabled default output of updates to stop duplicates ( option -u to reenable output) - Improved memory management patch, thanks to Steve Davies Version 0.3 - 30/04/2004 - Ignore bad dates in the output (if end time was before now, discard) - Added comprehensive event decoding info - Added aspect information - Added audio information - Still havent fixed the timezone thing. Version 0.2 - 20/04/2004 - Initial Public Release DOWNLOAD -------- [1]http://www.darkskiez.co.uk/tv_grab_dvb-0.5.tgz REQUIREMENTS ------------ * DVB Card Working in linux already, and tuned to a multiplex. USAGE ----- It reads a channels.conf file tzap format in the current directory to decode th e channel names (at the moment). May not always need this. Tested with: UK Freeview Now/Next UK London 8 Day EPG test Let me know! Tune into a multiplex with whatever you like, dvbtune, mplayer, mythtv and run: tv_grab_dvb [-t timeout] > whatson.xml HINTS ----- Mythtv: tv_grab_dvb|mythfilldatabase --no-delete --file 1 0 - Works well for me to stop it messing about all the channels. TODO ---- * Allow specifying path to channels.conf * Allow specifying the DVB card * Decode Subtitle info in XMLTV Style - 0.6 DTD? * Do proper XML encoding of text. * Decode Channel names from broadcast * Allow mapping to existing xmltv id.
