xmltvextras?

donschjr · 2011-09-07, 12:53 AM

I've downloaded XMLTVextras and placed the file in the scripts folder and the postupdateepg bat which is included in the download in the npvr folder but I don't think it's working. I don't see a postupdateepg log file like I have for postprocessing. Do I need to change something in the postupdate bat for it to work? I use SD, does it work with the native SD support? I'm trying to get it working so I can start using the tv listings plugin.

You need to add this line to the postprocessing.bat: 'xmltvextras %1' where %1 is the name of your xml file containing EPG data, eg xmltv.xml

I don't think it works with the native Schedules Direct support. I believe you'd have to use an xmltv grabber to get the SD data, then apply xmltvextras to that file.

Thanks, guess I won't be able to use it.

As Johnsonx42 said, it won't work with native Schecules Direct support. You can use xmltv to download the EPG from Schedules Direct and then you will be able to use xmltvextras.

In this post (http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post408206) sub explains how to get NPVR to save the info that it downloads via Schedules Direct as an xml file.

That saves the raw Schedules Direct XML. It is not an xmltv compatible format.

I tried setting up xmltv stuff before there was native SD support and couldn't figure out how to make it work. I had to wait for native support before switching to npvr. Once you start adding bat files and working paths and privileges in W7X64 I'm lost.
