I'm using a cron job do run tv_grab_zz_sdjson and it's working pretty well. I have to manually remap most of the channels, but it works.
What doesn't work is image/artwork for shows and movies. Does anyone know how to grab images?
For those interested in implementing this yourself (as I noticed some asking):
1) You'll need to install xmltv then set it up by running "tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure"
2) You can run xmltv manually by running "tv_grab_zz_sdjson --days 14 --output /opt/SchedulesDirect/tv_grab_zz_sdjson.xml". Make sure the jellyfin user is in the same group that owns /opt/SchedulesDirect/.
4) If you want to run this automatically, setup a cron job:
sudo nano /etc/crontab
Append:
00 01 * * * willthethrill tv_grab_zz_sdjson --days 14 --output /opt/SchedulesDirect/tv_grab_zz_sdjson.xml
