Hi - when setting up the source of EPG for a tuner device, user who wishes to use an XML source is prompted via dialogue box to browse to a local XML file, to establish the path.

Nothing in this suggests to the user that they can instead enter an url which GB-PVR will then automatically check for updates.

This is great functionality, completely hidden by the user interface!


Can the dialogue box that appears during setup of XML source please be changed to positively identify that an URL is an acceptable alternative to a local path?

Even better, if known url options appear based on users region, or at least a link to a webpage containing a list of known urls that work.

Cheers

URLs offering is xmltv listings are very uncommon. I'm only aware of a source being available for New Zealand, so doesnt really make sense to have list of URLs for people to choose from. I will update the text from "Xmltv file:" or "Xmltv file or url:" though.

That would be great - cheers. Maybe also add something about this url for NZ users in the installation sticky? (unless it is there already & I missed it!)
