#
# 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).
