Hi all,

I need your help, I'm working on my python script to get the list of channels and programs when I pulled the data from sqlite3 database.

I'm using the variable of channel_per_page to get the range from 0 to 7 for channels that I want to pull the data from the database. I can get the list of 7 channels which you can see the results.

Result for 7 channels:

17:02:10 T:6400  NOTICE: 101 ABC FAMILY
17:02:10 T:6400  NOTICE: 102 CBS
17:02:10 T:6400  NOTICE: 103 CNN USA
17:02:10 T:6400  NOTICE: 105 ESPN USA
17:02:10 T:6400  NOTICE: 106 Fox News
17:02:10 T:6400  NOTICE: 107 Animal Planet
17:02:10 T:6400  NOTICE: 108 USA Network 

Now I want to find the list of programs in the same rows as the matches 7 channels so i can print the list of programs.

When I try this code:

import xbmc
import StringIO
import sqlite3
CHANNELS_PER_PAGE = 7

#Pull the data from the database
channelList = list()
database_path = xbmc.translatePath(os.path.join('special://userdata/addon_data/script.tvguide', 'source.db'))

if os.path.exists(database_path):
   #get the channels list
   cur.execute('SELECT channel FROM programs WHERE channel GROUP BY channel')

   for row in cur:
       channels = row[0].encode('ascii')
       channelList.append(channels)


       # set the channels text
       for index in range(0, CHANNELS_PER_PAGE):
           channel = channelList[index]


           if channel is not None:
              self.getControl(4110 + index).setLabel(channel)



             #get the programs list
             cur.execute('SELECT channel, title, start_date, stop_date FROM programs WHERE channel')
             #startTime = 0
             #endTime = startTime + datetime.timedelta(hours=2)
             programList = list()


             for row in cur:
                 program = row[1].encode('ascii'), str(row[2]), str(row[3])
                 programList.append(program)                        
             print programList[index]

It will get the list of whole programs from abc family to bravo7 where you can see the results for the full channels:

Result for full channels:

Do you know how I can find the programs from the sqlite3 database where it will matches the 7 channels using the index so I would not have to get every program from every channel?

This is a horrible post, you have made here.
1. Your code does not run. Bad indent.
2. Are you sure, we need all the data from the database to answer your question?
3. You did not give us the python version you are using.
4. You did not give us the structure of the table(s) and indices you are using. You are asking how to use an index, we do not know anything about.
5. Your select statement : "SELECT channel, title, start_date, stop_date FROM programs WHERE channel" is semantically and probably sytaxtically incorrect. This is not a python problem.

No wonder no one answers....
