MythTV helper scripts

First version published on November 17th 2007. BSD-licensed.

The only stuff published so far, these are three scripts I use often. I don't know how cross-platform they're, have only Debian and Ubuntu boxes at hand.

mythtv-sql-inject

The central part of the package.
It eases querying the database directly by hand or by scripts with no need to type the user/password etc. each time.
Queries can be piped to it, e.g.:
echo “SELECT data FROM settings WHERE value='UDPNotifyPort'" | mythtv-sql-inject
or
echo ”INSERT INTO websites SET grp='Searches',dsc='Google',url='http://www.google.com'" | mythtv-sql-inject

mythvideo-player

Plays a file with MythVideo's configured player and options, and possibly other extra options passed in the command-line. Useful if you have some files that require special options, configuring it in their settings avoid having to re-type your default command on each file.

mythtv-get-recording-info

Looks up the database and prints recording information corresponding to a file in the recordings directory.
