Provide analog sources with dvb eit

[mythtv@…]

This patch gives you the ability to provide epg info to another channel. The mapping is configured in an extra table eit_mapping (see below). The mapping is based on the serviceid and a channel with the configured mapped_chanid gets a copy of the epg data.

CREATE TABLE eit_mapping (

serviceid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', mapped_chanid int(10) unsigned default NULL, UNIQUE KEY serviceid (serviceid)

) TYPE=MyISAM;

This looks interesting. I'll keep this in mind as we continue the eit rewrite.

Great idea, the EITMUNGER

I believe this is already implemented for NTSC channels, you just have to allow listings data to leak to other sources. I would rather avoid adding another table, but instead just populate the service id (and network id?, by using the "dtv" multiplex table) for the analog channel. -- danielk

It's main use would be for a analog input that's connected to a STB. If you have listings provided by datadirect they are often incorrect or just don't have the data for all channels. Getting the listing directly from the provider(s) via DVB-EIT fixes those problems.

Replying to stuarta: What can be done in the meantime before .22 for a workaround? I'm desparately needing this... maybe a cron script to do the duplication?

I think this patch does not work any longer. I tried to apply it against 0-21-fixes. I get the compile error:

Is there a version for 0.22/trunk?

Hi, This is updated patch for 0.24-fixes git20110327. For quick filling eit_mapping table You can use following:
mysql -u root mythconverg

INSERT INTO eit_mapping SELECT src.serviceid , dst.chanid FROM channel src JOIN channel dst ON src.callsign = dst.callsign AND src.sourceid =8 AND dst.sourceid =9 exit;

OK, this is five years old and not even close to being usable. The latest patch relies on a bunch of glue that doesn't even have a UI, and that UI would be a mess if it existed-- you need to create your own DB mapping between the two sources, which by definition must be manually manipulated... it just isn't usable as it is. It's not that I'm against the notion of using EIT to inform EIT-incapable lineups-- it's just that *this* implementation can't be applied, and has withered on the vine.
