I wrote a little scripts for me about one year ago.
The scripts take the epg-infos from the file in /video0 and store all
epg infos in a mysql-db.

I do this only because now i have for every film which is running a
description. The second way i want to do is, writting a
programm(perl-script) with which help i can programm vdr over web(the
data for the films came out of the database).

To say it clearly, i don't want to include the database directly into
vdr!

It is only a second programm running to vdr and stores the film in a db.
