Cable UK (virgin network)

[bobby13]

Hi guys, firstly thanks for great site and tool, been playing with it for days trying to make it do what I need.

Basically heres what Im trying to do:

I need to create an epg.day file which will import into dreambox 800 via crossepg. Crossepg can import epg.dat files itself, however I can not find a epg.dat source which will work with UK cable company. The radio times I would guess should have all the channels needed.

Using cmltv I've,
grabbed UK_RT
Added all the channels.
For post processors Ive just sleected them all.
Then the app outputs its data.xml file. (66mb)
I have them gzip the file and uploaded it to hosting.
THen told crossepg to download it, which is does.
But its not populating on the epg listing. (namely no change to epg listings)

Now I know there is hundreds of other dreambox 800 cable users on others forums who would love to have more than 1 day epg. Which is why Im trying to get it working so can share with them. So, anyone who can help me, I would apprecaite it.

does the dreambox support xmltv data? do you need to install an addon to make it support it? you might get more help on a dreambox forum

good day
need your help for crossepg
or be able to show you where and what can be corrected Xmltv Import

Your Xmltv format is as follows

Code: Select all

 <channel id="XMLTV_Import_1p1">
    <display-name>1+1</display-name>
  </channel>

and

Code: Select all

  <programme start="20130820020500 +0000" stop="20130820030000 +0000" channel="XMLTV_Import_1p1">
    <title>"Деньги".</title>
    <premiere>Not a repeat</premiere>
  </programme>

I need crossepg format

Code: Select all

  <channel id="1p1">
    <display-name>1+1</display-name>
  </channel>

and

Code: Select all

  <programme start="20130819060500 +0300" stop="20130819064500 +0300" channel="1p1">
    <title>ТСН: "Телевизионная служба новостей".</title>
  </programme>

thanks in advance

ukrt_altchids_rt.lua should show you where to start

[maigais]

okay, how could I remove the "XMLTV_Import_"

<channel id="XMLTV_Import_1p1">

and

<programme start="20130820020500 +0000" stop="20130820030000 +0000" channel="XMLTV_Import_1p1">

[alanbirtles]

just copy the above script into the xmltv_import directory
change UK_RT_ALT_RT to an identifier of your choice
change Grabber = "UK_RT" to Grabber = "XMLTV_Import"

forgiveness of language skills
use google translator

but for me it is set

[alanbirtles]

you need to go into the scripts directory and follow the instructions above, a new item should then appear in the postprocessors tab

[maigais]

thank you very much
I managed it
But another problem remains

"

Code: Select all

  
  <programme start="20130822140000 +0000" stop="20130822143000 +0000" channel="btb">
    <title>Скетч-шоу "Одна за всех".</title>
  </programme>

[alanbirtles]

The time zone? Simply change the timezone setting on the global settings tab

[maigais]

as if set

<programme start="20130820045000 +0300" stop="20130820052000 +0300" channel="tnt2">
<title>Т/с "Счастливы вместе", 306 с.</title>
</programme>


Also displays <title>

[alanbirtles]

sorry I don't understand what the problem is

[maigais]

for crossepg need such a variant

Code: Select all

  <programme start="20130820045000 +0300" stop="20130820052000 +0300" channel="tnt2">
    <title>Т/с "Счастливы вместе", 306 с.</title>
  </programme>

but this manages to xmltvgui

Code: Select all

<programme start="20130820045000 +0300" stop="20130820052000 +0300" channel="tnt2">
 <title>Т/с "Счастливы вместе", 306 с.</title>
 </programme>

<title>Т/с " Счастливы вместе &quot ; , 306 с.</title>

[alanbirtles]

I'm sorry but that is a bug in crossepg, there isn't any way to get xmltvgui to output that format.

Once again, forgiveness
I just verified on enigma2 plugin and crossepg
and turned out everything in order
