[linux-dvb] Request: Exporting of EPG data from VDR

[Dave Chapman <dave@dchapman.com>]

Hi,	

After lurking on this list for a few months, I've finally bought and 
installed a DVB card.  Many thanks to everyone involved in both the driver 
and VDR projects.

My first thoughts for small enhancements to VDR is to export, in some way, 
the EPG data collected in eit.c for use by an external EPG application.

How about exporting the data to text files (one file per event) in a 
directory hierarchy in /video.  For example:

printf(filename,"/video/epg/%i/%i/%i.epg",satelliteid,service,eventid);

I'm happy to implement this  - the VDR patch should only be a few lines - but 
it may best be done by someone completely familiar with the eit.c code.

An external (Perl?) script could be run by cron (or in the Commands menu of 
VDR) to delete the files describing events that have been broadcast.

Best wishes,

Dave.
