#!/bin/sh
#
# a small shell script for automatic ordering of TV channels in MythTV
#
# BIG FAT WARNING: this script was tested only with MythTV v0.23.
# Future versions of mythtv possibly use an incompatible database layout.
#
# The following workflow is recommended:
#  1) backup the current channel settings:
#	./channel_sort_mythtv.sh dump >mythtv_channels_dump.sql
#  2) retrieve the current list of channel names
#	./channel_sort_mythtv.sh get >channels.list
#  3) sort the channels in 'channels.list' with your favourite text editor
#  4) upload the new channel order (starting from channum=1):
#	./channel_sort_mythtv.sh set <channel.list
#
# After another channel scan you can run this script again with the
# 'merge' argument. It reads your current channel order from stdin
# and appends all 'new' channels (taken from the database).
