XBMC PVR and the MythTV addon only supports DVB-SI EIT categories. In case you get your guide data from other sources (like xmltv), the genre names show up as Other/Unknown and you will not get a colored EPG. MythTV (MythFrontend and MythWeb) however supports colors other categories better.

This page describes an approch for getting XBMC to recognize your categories by replacing the categorys in the MythTV database by the corresponding DVB-SI EIT categories.

You need to setup MythTV to run a wrapper script as mythfilldatabase replacement. This wrapper script will load a epg.sql that takes care of the category adaptions. Since the categories depend on the source of your guide, you will have to adapt epg.sql to match your needs.

Mythfilldatabase replacement

MythTV backend needs to be configured to use /usr/local/bin/my-mythfilldatabase as replacement:

#!/bin/bash

export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8

/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --loglevel debug -- "--days 18"
RES=$?
if [ $RES -eq 0 ]
then mysql -h htpc -u mythtv -p mythtv -D mythconverg < /usr/local/bin/epg.sql
fi
exit $RES

Source specific categories

The SQL file /usr/local/bin/epg.sql does the category conversion. Here are some examples for the conversion script. Most likely they will have to be adapted to match your guide source.

You can get all currently used categories from your database with the following command:

$ /usr/bin/mysql --host=htpc --user=mythtv --password=mythtv --database=mythconverg <<< "SELECT DISTINCT category FROM program;"
