This could be used to manually enter IMDB numbers in Mythvideo. The script, although ugly looking, seems to work and should return all seasons when run. I couldn't figure out how to get the number into the script, but maybe someone else can. Make sure the script has no line breaks.

Go to http://www.imdb.com and do a search for the title of the TV series. Get the tt number from the selected series. Example: Gunsmoke 1955 series is:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047736/
Substitute the 0047736 for the ####### in the script below.
The script needs to be made executable, then run the script. Sample output below.



Code:
# cat /usr/local/bin/getTVepisodes.sh
#! /bin/bash
lynx -source http://www.imdb.com/title/tt#######/episodes | grep -o Season.*tt.* | sed 's/<a\ href=\"\/title\///g' | sed '/Season [1-9]\,/s/Season /s0/g' | sed '/Episode [1-9]\:/s/\, Episode /e0/g' | sed 's/\, Episode /e/g' | sed 's/\://g' | sed 's/\/\">/ /g' | sed 's/<.*Orig/     - Orig/g' | sed 's/<.*$//g' | sed 's/^Season /s/g'

If you replace ####### with $1 in your script, then the user can pass in the IMBD value as a parameter, instead of editing the script every time...

Great idea though! I moved a bunch of Planet Earth HD episodes from TV Recordings to MythVideo, since the TV partition was filling up. I didn't realize that IMDB did TV series, so now I can get the info that was missing for each episode.

I also like the fact that the videos won't get accidentally erased by my wife or 17 moth old daughter (she loves to hit the buttons on my RF remote; she doesn't have to aim it to do damage...)
