Yes I can create the a_0.siteconfig.php file


NextPVR has built in Schedules Direct support and there is no real need to compete with the several alternatives that already do this for those few users that need independent xmltv files. Perhaps zap2it.com is a better choice.

Try the new changes now. No change still not updating tempest_config.new Having the name is nice though.

For tvpassport no channel block message using the Canada code for my city.

Can you please write your code name? I will test. It has some 6000+ location code so impossible to check all one by one but should work

We are in the news these days because of a few ignorant people taking over our downtown.

For flixed ottawa/on
For tv passport on/12088/ottawa

Here is the channel I am trying to load in flixed

<channel site="[ENC][EX]flixed.io[CA]_0" site_id="58494" xmltv_id="[Local Over the Air Broadcast] CBOTDT - CBC">[Loc

I listened that news while driving back home from work on radio. It is strange reaction but some groups are available in everywhere 


I am almost pretty sure there is something in your server which is not like my code 

And last photo. Are sure  you updated the new files?

Good news, for flixed.io it turns out it wasn't the server, it was the browser. Changing from Firefox to Chrome configuration worked as expected.

www.tvpassport.com was not working because my provider DNS is blocking www.tvpassport.com but not tvpassport.com. Creating a hosts file fixed that. The tvpassport data is nice because it includes the channel number however it doesn't download the channels and hangs I think because of a TLS v1.2 error

The lists are still too large to work with and it will take a lot of work for a users to create the proper names to make the display-name match the tuner name to map in NextPVR, but once it is set up the scrapping is fast.

I also tested the cli interface and that worked very well.

Thanks Martin. Good to hear finally it worked for you. But changing browser also fixed your config save issue ? Normally I tested Tempest on Chrome/Edge/Opera for Windows; Chromium, Midori, Vivaldi for Linux and Chrome,Samsung,Opera,Puffin for android and never faced and issue. If it was the problem, I may focus on it to fix. For grabbing, some websites are checking your user agent string as a precaution for robots. User agent string may be set in siteconfigs(which is not possible for enc ones) or from tempest configuration file. If both values are empty, Tempest will look and use your servers user agent. Also if it is not set for server then it will use hard coded string inside of its code which a line for Windows Chrome. So basicly setting user agent in configuration should do the same .

Tvpassport is using detail pages for shows unlike flixed which all data is in api. This means Tempest will make a request first to get shows then for each show, it will make another seperate request to get details such as actor, director etc. As expected it is a little slower than flixed to finish 1 channel. Tempest using curl extension for requests and if there is any tls error, it will be both sent to your screen and to your log if enabled. As long as your server updated, it shouldn't be a tls issue. You may try to increase timeout setting in your config. If it is too low and operation needs more time, Tempest will stop and proceed to next channel. As retry "2" and timeout "15" are good values for starting.

For the lists, unfortunately Tempest is taking what it is there. I can add some replace commands for manual changes but source format should be in a specific logic which usually N.American sites dont have.

Just a note about cli command. "tempconf" shall be only name of config file without path. If Tempest cannot locate given file in its fixed path, it will run default config which is "tempest.config.xml". In your case, it cannot find the file you asked and running default file which is what you want   So your line shall be "tempconf=tempest.config.xml" or you can directly omit this "tempconf=tempest.config.xml" parameter to run default config.

Yes everything worked changing browsers

If tv passport is several minutes per channel it won't be worth using.

Very strange since firefox is the father of some of these alternative browsers I tested. I will try to install and reproduce problem whenever I have some free time.

For tvpassport, I choosed first 15 channels to test on 2 days grabbing. Overall result is 0.996sec/per show which seems quite good to me if you consider I am currently in Middle East region for work and connected from a restricted network so values should be %20-%35 better for you. Total time for a channel is related with how many shows it has. For example if you check 2nd channel in log, you will see 96 shows grabbed in 102.82 secs. For these 96 shows, total of 97 requests done, scrapped, modified and saved  in xml file which is very good and I claim that it cannot be done faster than Tempest.

If you need just generic info and faster grabbing, there is an option in config file as index-only mode. If you enable it, Tempest will ignore detail pages and just use available index data. For tvpassport, you can get start, stop, title, subtitle, category, channel logo and new information with index-only mode.

Edit:
Oops, I tried to add xml and log.txt but seems like not allowed so;
