TV-Listings Grabber

Hi all,
where would I find information about writing my own tv-listings grabber and
how to integrate it with MythTV? I think I have read somewhere that the
listings have to be in the XMLTV format, but how do I get them from there
into the MythTV database?

If you intend to distribute this grabber then your best course would be to
create an XMLTV grabber adhering to the xmltv specification.
http://xmltv.org/wiki/howtowriteagrabber.html

This means it supports the baseline and manualconfig capabilities. It will
then be detected when you run mythtv-setup and will be run automatically run
daily, with the correct options by mythbackend (using mythfilldatabase).

Important caveat: if you want the grabber distributed with XMLTV, you
must make sure that it is not breaking any terms and conditions of the
listings source or any laws of the country where the listings data
originates. The German tv_grab_de_tvtoday grabber was removed from the
XMLTV distribution due to such problems some weeks ago.

german grabber was removed because we were not sure about the legal
situation and we are still not ...

so be careful, get in the beginning all the information before you
start the work.

Thanks for the tips, everyone. I didn't think of distributing the grabber,
but well, one never knows. I'll check out the xmltv website for examples
and then go from there.
