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

[Robert.Schneider@lotus.com]

That was the way I implemented this first time. After that we decided to 
hold the EIT data in memory. But it shouldn't be a big deal to reimplement 
that, I still have the code. Unfortunately, business takes me away from 
VDR/EIT right now and will up to mid of January. So don't expect new 
things before that time.

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.
