export EPG to XMLTV?

[apuokas]

Hallo,
thanks a lot of your nice software - mumudvb!
I just searching of posibility to export EPG from mumudvb to XMLTV file.
If i starting mumudvb witht "eit=1", on http there is a jason file and it looks like it has a EPG information. But i have no knowledge to convert or grab it to XMLTV format.
It could be another software that can "crontab'ed" export DVB-S EPG to XMLTV file. For couple of yers ago there was something like such software, but nowdays no longer developed and no longer works.
Best Regards.

thank you for your answer, Saentist. I have loocked at your link. Sadly, but it is just graber for one www site from Skandinavian. It seems it could be a way, but i dont have enough knowledge to wrote such graber for http://your-pi:your-port/monitor/EIT.json file provided by mumudvb.
But there could be a way to grab xmtltv file directly from satelite too? I has found old software but it not work corectly any more. Now i found EPG Collector. But it is for windows. Maybe i can get it work scheduled on linux with mono. I must test ist.
Best regards.

There is a another solution

The software your found is old. It works no more corectly nowdays. I have tryed this about a yer ago. I got a lot of errors. Even if sometimes i get xml file, it has a lot of mistakes and was almost unusable.

#238
maby @braice need to add it to his new patches

until then

import json
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
from xml.dom.minidom import parseString

def json_to_xmltv(json_file, xmltv_file):
    # Load JSONTV data
    with open(json_file, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        json_data = json.load(f)

    # Create the root element of the XMLTV document
    tv = ET.Element('tv')

    # Iterate through the JSONTV data and convert each entry to XMLTV format
    for channel in json_data['channels']:
        # Create channel element
        channel_element = ET.SubElement(tv, 'channel', id=channel['id'])
        display_name = ET.SubElement(channel_element, 'display-name')
        display_name.text = channel['name']

        for programme in channel['programmes']:
            # Create programme element
            programme_element = ET.SubElement(tv, 'programme', start=programme['start'], stop=programme['stop'], channel=channel['id'])
            title = ET.SubElement(programme_element, 'title')
            title.text = programme['title']
            
            if 'description' in programme:
                desc = ET.SubElement(programme_element, 'desc')
                desc.text = programme['description']

    # Convert the ElementTree to a string
    rough_string = ET.tostring(tv, 'utf-8')

    # Parse the string with minidom for pretty printing
    reparsed = parseString(rough_string)
    pretty_xml = reparsed.toprettyxml(indent="  ")

    # Write the formatted XML to the output file
    with open(xmltv_file, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        f.write(pretty_xml)

# Example usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
    json_file = 'sample.json'  # Path to your JSONTV file
    xmltv_file = 'output.xml'  # Path to the output XMLTV file
    json_to_xmltv(json_file, xmltv_file)
