EPG, Channel numbers, and telewest

[darrenferguson]

Hi,

Great piece of software and i'm nearly there however....

I set up Bleb and downloaded all of the channel xmls.

In the recording sources tab of the config app, i changed all the EPG source channel numbers to those of telewest and did the same in the Channels tab of the config app.

now, when i view the channel guide (via mvp on my tv), the channels appear, but no listing data....

Prior to changing channel numbers all info was displaying fine...

Am I missing something??

PS, if anyone needs a channel changer for telewest and redrat 3 i wrote a script that wraps the CLI tool.

Thanks!
Darren

I assume by the Telewest reference you are in the UK. I have found the Radio Times XMLTV download to be more reliable, especially using

http://www.alanbirtles.dsl.pipex.com/xmltv/xmltv.htm

The utility found here also runs as dos with the /GRAB parameter. This makes a single data.xml file which is referenced from GBPVR. (Remember to put the:
"c:\progra~1\XMLTV Radio Times\xmltvrt.exe" /GRAB
in your UpdateEPG.bat file)

The channels Tab of the config app are your made up numbers. They can be anything you want and make GBPVR channel surfing happen in a particular order.

I would say try to redownload all the XMLTV info and do UpdateEPG in the config app.

Hi.
Yep, I went down that route and all seems to rock now.
Cheers.
