PROGRAM:
NAME
mythtv-status - Display the status of a MythTV backend
SYNOPSIS
mythtv-status [options]
DESCRIPTION
This script queries a MythTV backend and reports on the status of it, any upcoming
recordings and any which are happening right now.
The intention is to warn you if there is a program being recorded or about to be recorded.
OPTIONS
-c, --colour
Use colour when showing the status of the encoder(s).
--date
Set the date to run as, used for debugging purposes.
-d, --description
Display the description for the scheduled recordings.
--disk-space-warn
The threshold (in percent) of used disk space that we should show the disk space in
red (if using colour) or send an email if we're in email mode with email only on
warnings.
--encoder-details
Display the input ID and channel name against the recording details.
--encoder-skip-idle
Suppress displaying idle encoders in the Encoders block.
-e, --episode
Display the episode (subtitle) for the scheduled recordings.
--email <address>[ --email <address> ...]
Send the output to the listed email addresses. By default the encoder status,
currently recording shows and time till next recording is surpressed from the email.
To turn the additional blocks on you can use --encoders, --recording-now and/or
--next-recording.
--email-only-on-alert
Only send an email out (if --email is present) if there is an alert (i.e., schedule
conflict or low disk space).
-?, --help
Display help.
--file <file>
Load XML from the file specified instead of querying a MythTV backend. Handy for
debugging things.
--save-file <file>
Save the XML we received from the MythTV backend. Handy for debugging things.
--guide-days-warn <days>
Warn if the number of days of guide data present is equal to or below this level.
Default is 2 days.

The host to check, defaults to localhost.
--nostatus, --noencoders, --norecording-now, --noscheduled-recordings,
--noschedule-conflicts, --nonext-recording, --nototal-disk-space, --nodisk-space,
--noguide-data, --noauto-expire
Suppress displaying blocks of the output if they would normally be displayed.
-p PORT, --port=PORT
The port to use when connecting to MythTV, defaults to 6544.
--oneliner-bullets
Insert asterisks (*) before each of the oneliners to stop some email clients from
thinking the oneliner block is a paragraph and trying to word wrap them.
--auto-expire
Display the shows due to auto expire (output is normally suppressed).
--auto-expire-count
How many of the auto expire shows to display, defaults to 10.
--recording-in-warn
If the "Next Recording In" time is less than this amount, display it in red. This in
seconds, and defaults to 3600 (1 hour).
--verbose
Have slightly more verbose output. This includes any warnings that might be generated
while parsing the XML.
-v, --version
Show the version of mythtv-status and then exit.
OUTPUT
The output of this script is broken up into several chunks they are:
Status
Some general info about the backend, currently just the timestamp of when this program
was run.
Guide Data
The number of days of guide data is present. By default it is only shown if the
number of days is below the warning level. To show it regardless of the warning level
use --guide-data.
Encoders
Each encoder that the backend knows about are listed, with the hostname they are on,
the encoder ID (in brackets) and the current status.
Recording Now
Any programs which are being recorded right now.
Scheduled Recordings
Up to 10 programs which are scheduled to be recorded today and tomorrow.
Schedule Conflicts
Any upcoming schedule conflicts (not just limited to today or tomorrow).
Shows due to Auto Expire
The shows which will be deleted and the order they'll be deleted if the auto expirer
kicks in.
Total Disk Space
The amount of disk space in total, and used by MythTV.
Next Recording In
If there are no recordings currently happening, then the amount of time until the next
recording is displayed.
Disk Space
Details about each storage group that MythTV knows about. By default this only shows
storage groups that are above the warning level. Use --disk-space to turn on display
of all storage groups.
