Here is something that used to work and no longer works.
Because Channel 4 HD does not have EIT data on Freesat, I used to copy the
EIT from Channel 4 with this line
/home/tv/bin/cross-eit.py -o /tmp/export.xml 19211,"hd.channel4.com"
and then add it to the schedule with this other line
/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --refresh-all --verbose xmltv --file --sourceid 1
--xmlfile /tmp/export.xml
...all this after having visited
http://localhost/mythweb/settings/tv/channels
and ensured that the line for Channel 4 HD had an xmltvid of hd.channel4.com
and a useonairguide value of OFF.
However, while the cross-eit.py command produces a plausible export.xml
file, the mythfilldatabase command complains that it can't recognise
hd.channel4.com as an xmltv channel identifier, although I confirm that
that is the entry in the xmltvid column for the Channel 4 HD row in the
localhost/mythweb interface.
This used to work. Why does it no longer work and what can I do to fix it?
Thank you
