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. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
