It is possible.

I once created a python script for it which uses https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/tree/master/lib/py/tvh

If you yould like to have the script I can post it on pastebin.com

hi - do you still have this script and does it work? Tvheadend implemented XMLTV export, but does not include <category> tag. Wondering if your script provides this. Thanks!

PVR.TVH use tag's but get them from htsp protocol (:9982).

Hi B jzy

Still have that script and it works at my end. The script provides <category> mapped from TVH "Content Type" such as "Movie / Drama" or "Sports".

Find the script at https://pastebin.com/e3j2Wppb

I get this errore when I try to run it:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./getTVHGuide.py", line 29, in <module>
    from tvh.htsp import HTSPClient
ImportError: No module named tvh.htsp

I can't find any file called tvh.htsp :(

The script uses python module https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/tree/master/lib/py/tvh

In my case (Linux Mint 17.3) it is stored under /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tvh

RE: create xmltv file from tvheadend - Added by Raffale Giovedì about 7 years ago

I don't have this directory...
Maybe I have to install some libraries?

RE: create xmltv file from tvheadend - Added by Ulrich Buck about 7 years ago

The six files found under https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/tree/master/lib/py/tvh need to be installed under /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tvh (or the corresponding path on your computer).

It is a bit difficult to get individual files or subdirectories from github. You can find them at https://uploadfiles.io/i8zx8

Perhaps it would be useful to upload the script file here? That will allow people in the future to have access to it even if pastebin expires it again.
Thanks.
