I have a need to export the EPG data. Doesn't have to be human readable as it's for one of my own applications. I was previously reading EPG from a mythdb export but it's not realiable anymore. This is just background info so you know what I'm after. My main need is having an automatic export every day. I found that you can manually export the EPG data in xml which would be just fine for my purposes if that could be automated. I would probably be just as happy reading the epg.dat file directly as copying the things I need from each entry would be so close to reading the fixed data mythdb export that I expect this would mean a minimum amount of work. Obviously I don't want to reverse engineer the epg.dat (although I would if I have to ). Not really a newbie question but I couldn't find anything in the manuals or using the forum search. a ) Is there a way to do an automatic daily EPG export? b ) Is the epg.dat file format described anywhere?
