I wrote a tool to load VDR with XMLTV data. Written in Go with 0 external dependencies and does a few things nicer than that perl script that's been floating around

Probably not 100% bug free, but it works for me.
$ tv_grab_na_dd --days 1 --output /tmp/epg_schedules_direct.xml \ && vdr-epg-tool -c /var/lib/vdr/channels.conf -x /tmp/epg_schedules_direct.xml epg-load \ && rm /tmp/epg_schedules_direct.xml
Enjoy!
So this would read data from Schedules Direct? I started trying to come up with something, but never got far with it.

XMLTV communicates with schedules direct. I let xmltv do the downloading / transformation before parsing.

Hi,
Do you know the xmltv2vdr plugin? http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/vdr-plugin-xmltv2vdr.git/
Maybe it's sufficient to write a grabber (aka downloader) for it?
Regards, Lars.

I tried it and got frustrated with the syntax and configuring the channels. Plus it was fun to learn SVDRP (for future itch scratching)

I've never managed to get the plugin to work when I've tried it but I've been using xmtv with that xml2vdr Perl script for quite a few years now.
How does your new script improve on the old one? I should probably have a look myself, really...
