EPG Zap2it

[j2gbpvr]

i got the zap2xml.pl from the zap2xml github which was updated for gracenote a few days ago
https://github.com/jef/zap2xml
i installed the strawberry perl msi version which sets up the path links
Strawberry Perl Latest Release: 5.40.0.1 MSI (196.4 MB)
the portable version doesn't do that and it didn't work when i tried
i copied the zap2xml.pl to the folder: c:\strawberry\perl\bin
then opened a command prompt (admin) to it
then ran: pp -M Sub::Util -o zap2xml.exe zap2xml.pl
should be no errors and the zap2it.exe shows up in that folder
it doesn't work on other computers until i installed strawberry perl on them
then the mapping to channels was lost and had to be remapped
the file name was the same but something was different
now it updates fine

That change you copied from github was wrong I explained earlier in this thread why.

I think I can follow that, thanks j2gbpvr.

I've always built my own exe with strawberry perl using the following command:

Code:

pp -M Sub::Util -o zap2xml.exe zap2xml.pl

If someone wants it here's the WinMerge patch and the new exe.
Edit: I can't seem to attach the 5.1 MB zip file even though my quota isn't near full use. Here's the source code. Generate the exe with strawberry perl and the command above.

I think I was able to do this, but with new exe, getting tons of errors.  Failed logging attempts, even though I logged in via web and all did was change the executable.

XMLTV is based on the channel id so you if you change them you need to remap.  First remap to None and the remap to the XMLTV file. 

However your problem is you don't want to change zap2it globally to gracenote  try just changing tvlistings.zap2it.com to tvlistings.gracenote.com

That remaping of the "EPG Source" in "NextPVR/Settings/Channels" did the trick !
My TV Guide is back thanks to you ! (and depwl9992 and jef at https://github.com/jef/zap2xml/pull/18#i...2781267415)

This worked for me.  Didn't have to remap channels on my computer but had to on my wife's.  Thanks

I'm just getting errors. This gracenote site can't even be reached. Did it shut down already?

Read the thread if you use the hosts file method

Has anybody had any issues with guide updating in the last day or so? I ran a manual download because my guide was empty this morning, it says it downloaded:
Downloaded 5664877 bytes in 1068 http requests using 2 sockets.

Clicking on update epg in NextPVR web, it says "EPG Update complete. [0 inserted, 0 updated, 0 skipped]"
