I’ve been learning a bit more about Linux over the last few weeks and updated my electronic program guide (EPG) configuration to better reflect “standard” file location usage. The changes work better for my backup strategy as well as I do not backup any directory that starts with a dot.
- The location of the EPG script has changed. The EPG related scripts are now in the
/home/mythtv/epgdirectory. Within that directory are two further directories. One for the oldxmlTVNZEPG configuration and the other for the newniceEPG configuration. - The name of the EPG script has been changed. It is now simply called
nice.shand lives in the/home/mythtv/epgdirectory. - The
nice.shscript has been modified to log to the/var/log/mythtvdirectory:cd /home/mythtv/epg/nice wget http://nice.net.nz/epg/listings.xml.gz gunzip -f listings.xml.gz rm /var/log/mythtv/mythfilldatabase.log mythfilldatabase --no-delete --file 1 -1 listings.xml --update > /var/log/mythtv/mythfilldatabase.log
