Finally have a chance to try your code out, and sadly we base our build
of 0.20-fixes. Any tips on getting it running?

I created a file test.py as follows

#!/usr/bin/python
import MythTV
m = MythTV.MythTV()

upcoming = m.getUpcomingRecordings()

print upcoming[0].title, upcoming[0].recstartts

Then running it produces

mythtv@mythtv:~$ ./test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./test.py", line 3, in ?
    m = MythTV.MythTV()
  File "/home/mythtv/MythTV.py", line 135, in __init__
    self.db = get_database_connection()
NameError: global name 'get_database_connection' is not defined

Got any pointers?

Steve

It's in the mythvideo scripts directory at present as that's the only thing 
that uses it.

I included a function in the module which will give you a list of upcoming 
recordings quite easily.

import MythTV
m = MythTV.MythTV()

upcoming = m.getUpcomingRecordings()

print upcoming[0].title, upcoming[0].recstartts

If you've got trunk and want to have a play it may be of use.
