create xmltv file from tvheadend

mike smith

is it possibele to create xmltv file from the epg that tvheadend get from dvbt?

i need to catch the epg coming from dvbt and save as xmltv file

Ulrich Buck

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 :(

Ulrich Buck

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

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

Ulrich Buck

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.
