Python code sniped to get recordings from mythtv
#1
Hello fellows :-)

Has someone a python code snipet to get the recordings (listings)
from a mythtv system ? (and store the video local instead of playing)

I know I can add a video section with mythtv as source.

I think about to integrate a function to integrate a function to burn
a recorded show to dvd.

Mythbox and the support for mythtv protocoll over the video section
are imho very good to watch the recorded shows but I can not burn the
recorded shows to dvd. Starting the mythtv frontend over xbmc with launcher to only burn a show is not I would like to do.
All the software for transcoding and burnig is allready used by my addon and I guess someone other would also like burn mythtv recordings from the xbmc ui-interface.

Let us make a example :

- we have the database name including location / user and the password.
- This would be also the info you need to add mythtv as a source
inside the video-section.

What would be the best solution ?

- use mysql scripts to connect to the mythtv system and get the name of the shows including path from the mythtv-system ?

- use python to get the listing from within xbmc.

- Could I use a xbmc python function to store the video from the mythtv-system and not play only ?

What are your opinions ?

- use mythtv functions that are allready inside xbmc
- use code from Mythbox to get the video ...
- use own scripts ...

Regards Hans

Is it may better to wait for release 11.0 ? Until the pvr-functionality is made.
Are there any plans to implement a few python api functions to interact with the new pvr-system ?
