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.

More information can be found in the doc/ directory of the myth2kodi repository, or, once it's installed, by running:

Code:

myth2kodi --help

Updated Release Available (v1.2.0):

New Features:

• Adds option to provide season and episode number arguments when calling myth2kodi. So the standard processing-recording call now has the form:
  
  Code:

  myth2kodi 'path/to/file' ["title"] ["subtitle"] ['season-number' 'episode-number']
• Adds a --rerecord command line switch.
  
• Extends the manual_process tool to allow season and episode numbers to, optionally, be provided.
  

Bug Fixes

• Fixes processing of showTranslations files for entries that contained the correct title as part of the left-hand-side.
  
• Use "double" instead of 'single' quotes for title and subtitle arguments in doover.sh entries, to handle cases that involve apostrophes.
  
• Fixes manual_process for cases where the title or subtitle contain apostrophes.

Let me just say, this is 99.9% exactly what I have been needing. I do seem to be running into one small problem however. The comskip files are being created with the incorrect permissions. My Kodi frontend can't read the files unless I manually adjust the permissions. Is there anything I can do about this?

[stuartk]

Updated Release Available (v1.2.1):

Bug Fixes

• Fixes permissions for comskip files.
  

The links provided in the original post of this thread always point to the latest version of myth2kodi.

@jctennis Thanks for pointing this out. It should now be fixed
in the latest release (v1.2.1). The change is just two lines
in the main myth2kodi script that explicitly add read permission
to the comskip file for group and other, so if you update that
script then any future recordings you process should be fine.
Let me know if there is any issue.

[jctennis]

stuartk Thanks a lot for fixing that so quickly. It helped out a bunch. Now I have to bug you for one more small thing that I can't figure out on my own. I have a show that I record called "Timeless" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5511582/) that is falsely getting picked up my myth2kodi as another series called "Timeless" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460687/)

I haven't tried this yet, but I've been looking for a way to move my MythTV recordings into Kodi. I think this will do it....and I just wanted to say thank you for putting something together that has been recently updated!

I'm not sure, but I think I might be having a problem with the same area. When running the '--diagnostics' to make sure things are properly working for the first time, I'm getting an error trying to look up the information.

I have agrep installed and I tried tre-agrep, but the tre-agrep wasn't found with myth2kodi even though it was installed and I could execute it.

@jctennis There is a "show translation" mechanism in place for
handling just this case. The tv-series are identified by myth2kodi
using http://thetvdb.com/, the closest match between your guide
data and TheTVDB is assumed to be correct. When that is not the
case you just need to add a translation entry into a showTranslations
file in myth2kodi's working directory. So, you'll need to add a file called:

Code:

"$m2kdir"/showTranslations

which for you means:

Code:

/media/Storage/myth2kodi/showTranslations

with the entry:

Code:

Timeless = Timeless (2016)

The format is just one entry per line of the form:

Code:

My Guide Show Title = www.TheTVDB.com Show Title

There needs to be one space either side of the equal-sign and the
guide show title needs to match exactly, including case. When the
guide data is really bad, you end up with something like the example
for Sydney's free-to-air guide data that is in the repository.

Whenever a show is incorrectly identified, just go to http://thetvdb.com/ and
search for "Guide Show Title" (in this case it was "Timeless"), then add a
showTranslation entry.

[stuartk]

@mikewiz38 Your issue is different from jctennis. So far I can't
reproduce the error message you are getting. The only times I've
had a similar failure for the "mister rogers" part of diagnostics
is when either my internet connection was down or TheTVDB was
down... As a first next step could you enable debug level logging,
that is, in myth2kodi.conf, set:

Code:

LOGLEVEL=3

then rerun myth2kodi --diagnostics and post the relevant section
of the log again?

Also, some version info might be helpful. So, what OS are you
running? And could you post the output of:

Code:

agrep --version

and

Code:

mktemp --version

[stuartk]

@mikewiz38 Ok, after poking around a bit I think there is
a difference in the way your bash/agrep is processing the
options that myth2kodi is using when calling agrep...
If I'm right then I'll still need a bit more info from you
to find a good fix for this. So, could you also provide the
output for the following commands:

Bash version info:

Code:

/usr/bin/env bash --version

Then, in the same terminal, open a fresh bash interpreter:

Code:

/usr/bin/env bash

And in that run:

Code:

touch /tmp/test
agrep -ikByn ShowName /tmp/test
agrep -iBynk ShowName /tmp/test
agrep -i -B -y -n -k ShowName /tmp/test

What I'm expecting is that the first agrep will give an
error similar to the one in the log you posted earlier, just
with 'ShowName' in the place of 'mister rogers', and
hopefully either the second or third variants will produce
no output.

Then you can clean-up and close the bash interpreter you
opened above with:

Code:

rm /tmp/test
exit

Updated Release Available (v1.2.2):

Bug Fixes

• Fixes agrep parameter ordering bug on Ubuntu.
  
• Fixes typos in two log statements -- expansion of FUNCNAME.
  

The links provided in the original post of this thread always point to the latest version of myth2kodi.

@mikewiz38 Thanks for the feedback. This release should solve
the issue you reported. Let me know if it doesn't (I don't
have access to an Ubuntu system to test on...).

@jctennis Although, from what you've said, the issue fixed with
this release hasn't caused you problems (presumably because your
guide-data quality is good), I can see from the log you posted
earlier that your system is affected by this as well, so you
should update. By the way, what OS are you on, is it Ubuntu too?

I'm running Mythbuntu. Thank you for the information, and I'll update tonight.

[stuartk]

@mikewiz38 I had a look through the full debug diagnostics log
you posted. Regarding the two other failures:

Desktop Notification:
The desktop notifications are Disabled by default, so if you
don't want to use them then this failure isn't a problem.

As far as I can see the NotifyUserName is the same user as
the one running myth2kodi, but for some reason it seems that
Ubuntu is configured to not allow a user to sudo to themselves,
which seems weird to me... Anyway, I've added a work-around to
the repository (not the release above), if you want to use
desktop notifications (only works on Gnome) you can grab the
latest myth2kodi file directly from the repo.
If you do try it then can you let me know if it works?

Kodi Communication:
From the log message it seems like your system is running
a web server on port 8080 -- if http access to Kodi isn't
enabled and nothing else is running then you shouldn't get
any response. If you want to Enable Kodi communication
then you'll need to allow it from within Kodi, setting a port
that isn't already in use. In Kodi, see:

Code:

System -> Settings -> Services -> Web Server

then make sure you've set myth2kodi's KODIIPs parameter
appropriately.

By default some Kodi communication is Enabled, so if you don't
want to have it Enabled, you can Disable it in myth2kodi.conf
by setting:

Code:

KODIUpdate='Disabled'
KODINotify='Disabled'

(The third Kodi communication option, KODIClean, is Disabled by
default so you don't have to do anything for that). If you Disable
Kodi communication then remember that you'll have to manually
update your Kodi library to see changes.
