"New" episodes XMLTV

Thanks for the information. Here is the new google drive link. It should be viewable to anybody with this link.

It looks like it's working fine for me. All the shows with <previously-shown /> are not being marked as "new" in the guide

[DavidD]

That is odd. I wonder how come it does not work for me. Maybe it is a Linux thing - who knows?

Sub recently added support for the Silicon Dust PVR EPG data having multiple display names for auto merge.  Perhaps that broke the new flag.  Otherwise it should work.

I am always looking to see other Ottawa list for US channels.  I don't get any but my neighbor can get PBS with a higher antenna.

I cannot get any US channels either. I might have some extra channels in my EPG data. Currently, I am running the EPG data from the HD Homerun unit via a python program to get the file that I posted. I did not know there was added support for Silicon Dust PVR EPG data - has that been documented yet? I would love to try it out.

Living in the same area I tried that xml file, definitely with the release build it fails and with the new NShared it works for me on Docker which should be close.

Sub note that it is really, really bad auto-mapping the HDHR list to the Silcon Dust guide (with the ugly TMS name) 0 match out of 14 by name and only 1 by identifier It would be nice to use the major/minor in mapping.

@DavidD you can get it directly from SD via a script in UpdateEPG. Here is the python part that gets it as a string for testing you can use shutil to save it to a file.

Code:

import requests
import json
import gzip

disco = requests.get('http://yourip/discover.json')
resp = json.loads(disco.text)
gzlineup = requests.get('http://api.hdhomerun.com/api/xmltv?DeviceAuth=' + resp['DeviceAuth'])
try:
    lineup = gzip.decompress(gzlineup.content)
except:
    print (gzlineup.text)

O.K., the new dll is working now. I think the reason was that I did not think about re-updating the tv guide after replacing the .dll. Sorry, I did not think about that one. I cannot say for sure that this was what happened as I do not know when the program in the dll is called. I just logged on today to NextPVR and everything seemed O.K. I did not do anything myself. I think it was the automatic update of the TV guide that happens daily that might have solved the problem that I was having. Thank you very much for all of your help.

On another note, does the NextPVR- silicon dust addition that you sent me Martin- does it do some reformatting for NextPVR of the tvxml that is extracted. I had to for example: generate the previously-shown tag, eliminate the category series to get the coloured EPG working for me and translate the season episode information into the right format so that NextPVR would accept it.

Thanks.

I don't know I don't have a PVR subscription. Their file should be to spec but I'd have to see it. The change for 5.0.8 was to allow matching on multiple display-names which seems to still be broken with major.minor matching for ATSC.

Can you let me know if this version helps?

[mvallevand]

Perfect. Using the user' file everything mapped with default scan and also with both auto map options.

Great! Thanks for checking it out.

[DavidD]

Just like to say again, thanks for all of your help guys. In my case, I do not use the auto map function. But if I have to set up NextPVR again, maybe I will give it a try.
