(Leaving my existing DataDirect video source working for now.)Īs long as MythTV doesn't know about the source yet, it should ignore the DB and config files in. I am taking the approach of setting up the grabber and testing it before I configure MythTV to use it. What does this mean? Does the 'XMLTV Project' now support data in JSON format, even though it's not XML, but they didn't rename the project?Ĭan I set up the SchedulesDirect JSON grabber (or whatever it's called, getting off DataDirect) with v30, before DataDirect is removed in v31?

But now, re-reading about XMLTV, I see JSON mentioned on a few pages. I always thought those were two separate things, because JSON is not XML. Above you said JSON grabbers, but the page you linked to said XMLTV grabbers. Here's what really has been confusing me. XMLTV provides 20 days, right? So I must not be using that. I get 13 days of listings, so that's DataDirect, right? So it's not 'XMLTV' even though it's in XML format? I know I get program data from SchedulesDirect, and that it is downloaded in an XML format, because I snooped the /tmp/mythtv directory while mythfilldatabase was running, before it deleted the file. I got it working and have left it alone since then.

The XmltvUnrelatedProjects are things which don't use the XMLTV format but are somehow connected to TV listings.It's been a few months since I set up my system (v30 I think) and I forget the distinctions between the different grabbers. There are also some grabbers not included in the XMLTV project distribution. There are lots of applications that use XMLTV-formatted files., these include guide viewers and PVRs.
