[QUOTE="gibman, post: 133716, member: 25430"] What a sucky subject tagline I know hehe. I have attached a python script that helps me replace user-defined tags within the tvguide.xml file with my own. ex. I want to change all the occurences of channel="TV2.dr.dk" to channel="TV2". ... <programme channel="TV2" start="20070303181000 +0100"> ... Why do I want this ? In order to have MP map the XMLTV epg data to the right channel, the "channel" XML tag needs to have the same name/value as the associated channelname within MP. So they need to match each other. Often you can configure the .config files of the perl/python XMLtv grabber scripts to change the channelnames to your needs. But in my case this is not possible. I use multiple tv grabbers. This is a way for me to have the channel name mapping configuration defined in one file. The python script can in theory do search/replace on all kinds of files. It is not limited to XML files in any way. U need to DL python for windoze. [url]http://www.python.org/[/url] run the replace.py file. config is replacevalues.py (edit it) ex. 'channel="hallmark.dr1.dk"' : 'channel="Hallmark"', The parser will look for all occurences of channel="hallmark.dr1.dk" and replace them all with channel="Hallmark" It is possible to do a "python to exe" thing, for those who are lazy. Although the replacevalues.py should be changed to a replacevalues.config file, otherwise it will be compiled into the final EXE. /Gibman [/QUOTE]
