[mythtvnz] Python 3

[Fritz Hildebrand]

Yes, you are probably correct. I was last using mhegepgsnoop-0.6.0.py 
and amended the following lines to clean up the titles:

parser.add_argument('-c', dest='clean_titles', nargs='?', const='All New 
|Movie: |Prime Flicks: |New: ', default=defs.clean_titles,

options.clean_titles = 'All New |Movie: |Prime Flicks: |New: '

Don't know much about python coding, but this cleaned up the titles.

re: what am I using now? I am using the internal MythTV EIT collection 
option. This does collect 7 days now (I think originally it was just now 
and next few programs). The data collected isn't quite as informative 
(it doesn't show for example the type of program beyond for the current 
and next two programs) but for my purposes it 'solved' the problem I had 
with mhegepgsnoop not working for me.

It is for 7+ days. Only thing I can’t do with it is easily edit out words like “Movie:” or “All New” from titles so I need to be bit more careful when setting up recordings where the title may change for the same actual program. For example I have two set up for NCIS: “NCIS” and “All New NCIS”.
