SD Lineups by User instead of Zip Code

[Misko]

Hi Sub and/or anyone else who may be able to help. Is it possible to use the Schedules Direct API to get the lineups that I've setup in my SD account rather than lineups for a given Zip Code? When I provide my zip code, the Charter Digital lineup that is returned isn't the correct one and I don't see any way to fix it. Maybe you could change the SD Manage Lineups interface to have a couple of radio buttons to choose between the retrieving lineups via User or via Zip Code? Thanks in advance for the help!

The Schedules Direct system NextPVR interacts with doesn't contain the lineups that you can configure on their website (which is what I think you're asking for).

NextPVR uses their recommended 'json' system, which provides more information, like season/episode/artwork etc.

When you login via their website, and maintain your lineups there, that is the older zap2it/xml system. This only exists for legacy applications that can't be updated to the new json system.

Both systems are separate, and have their own databases etc. The json system doesn't not have access to your lineup information configured via the website. It only has the lineups you've added via NextPVR. I did ask them to make their website update both, but for whatever reason, they never did that.

If you send me a private message we can work out what's going on with your lineup / account.

I got it worked out. For some reason, the first time I searched for my zip code, I got a Charter digital lineup that didn't properly map the channels. I'm really not sure if there was something weird with a previous lineup being cached after updating NextPVR or what, but completely uninstalling NexPVR, clearing out the config, then reinstalling it, everything seems to be working properly. I really appreciate the quick responses, though!
