Tvheadend

That's just a pre-generated XMLTV file. You can use tv_grab_file or send that data directly (unzipped) into the xmltv external socket interface. There is documentation on how to do this on the webui help pages (the online ones are out of date).

thanks just renamed the file to xmltv.xml and was able to add it as the xmltv source in openelec which tvheadend picked up through tv_grab_file. Will have to investigate if its possible to create a script that runs on openelec that downloads the file once a days and unzips it and renames it.

Just one issue i noticed. An example of a program title is "AC Milan vs Inter Milan (R)". The (R) means repeat and (L) stands for live. If i try and search (R) in the title search nothing shows up likewise for (L). I was hoping to create auto records for stuff like "Inter Milan (L)" that would record all their live games. Looks like the brackets are the issue. Do you know if that is a known issue?

thanks to help from user linuxstb on the hts irc, the following will pick up all inter milan live matches - inter milan.*\(L\)
