[mythtvnz] linux tvnz xml scraper

[Steven Mulvay]

Hi Hads,
Is there a way to get the tv_grab_nz script to execute from within 
mythtv when required? I presume that I'm meant to run the script 
manually in a terminal, piping the output to a file and then run 
mythfilldatabase -- file 1 listings_file. Is this correct? (1 being the 
source id)
I've been trying this method to no avail, the program guide is not 
being filled at all 

I presume that since I'm using using your script to obtain the 
listenings, I should set the video source setion to no grabber, is that 
correct?

I also have a problem with no channels in the startup channel list.

What am I missing here?

Cheers,
Steve :)
