myth2kodi

The myth2kodi script automates the mapping of MythTV recordings to a Kodi library.

myth2kodi is a derivative of mythicalLibrarian.

Basic functionality when processing a recording:

• Runs as a MythTV user job.
  
• Can also be run at command prompt.
  
• Generates file names that Kodi can easily process into your library.
  
• MythTV recording files are either moved or linked based on user settings.
  
• Creates comskip and NFO files where appropriate.
  
• Sends Notifications and library update requests to Kodi.
  
• Sends desktop notifications (Gnome).
  
• Generates an RSS feed that can be accessed by Kodi.
  

Ultra brief usage:
At the command-line:

Code:

myth2kodi "Input File" "show name" "episode name"

As a MythTV user job:

Code:

/full/path/to/myth2kodi "%DIR%/%FILE%"

Additional functionality via command-line flags:

--scan: Process all the recordings in a directory.
--recording-info: Retrieves information on a recording from your MythTV-DB and prints it to stdout.
--log: Extracts just those parts of the myth2kodi log files relevant to the processing of a specified recording and displays them in a pager.
--delete: Deletes a specified recording and its associated database entry.
--rerecord: Same as --delete, but, also requests mythbackend to rerecord.
--disconnect: Disconnects a specified recording from MythTV, deleting the MythTV-DB entry.
--series-info: Updates our local database tables for a specified series.
--comskip: Regenerates the comskip file for recordings that have already been processed.
--diagnostics: Tests the functionality of myth2kodi, reports the status.
--maintenance: Clean-up files and directories created by myth2kodi.
