GoogleMovies.pl is a dataprovider for the MythTV MythMovies movie times listing plugin.
It uses the google.com/movies data, which is pretty much worldwide. This is useful because the default MythMovies dataprovider only works in the US.
Google have a habit of changing the page layout about once a month, so you'll probably need
to download a new version of this script from time to time. If you feel adventurous, set up
a git pull
on a daily cronjob for uninterrupted use.
- Drop the perl script somewhere on your MythTV machine.
- chmod +x googlemovies.pl
- In the MythMovies settings change the path to the script, make sure you leave the %z after the script path. It should look something like '/usr/local/bin/googlemovies.pl %z' when you finish.
- Enter your postcode, or a city name in the location box.
- Done!
