titantv to xmltv

[elbryyan]

Can you do an 'update epg' in the config app, then zip and attach the config.exe.log?

I use the OTA digital lineup and when I viewed the log myself I noticed this error:

XMLTV: error reading xml: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: '32' Key being added: '32'

If I use the OTA analogue lineup then the data shows up correctly but I am using strictly digital so some stations have mutliple channels like ABC which has the regular channel and a weather channel and the both show up as say channel id 32.

The grabber should have a scheme to make sure it doesnt give duplicate channel numbers. If its digital channels give them an id something like "32-1", "32-2" etc.

'm really concerned that Titan will slam the door on that UUID.

we should put at the end of each program description "provided by titantv.com" maybe they will like that.

I'll have to find a solution for this, I thought that using the rf_channel as the channel id will fix this... looks like its still a problem.

do you still have this problem with the last version I posted? if yes, can you please give me your providerid?


Sub: what do you think about using as channel id the combination between rf_channel and the station name, something like:

Code:

<channel id="0033GOLF">
    <display-name lang="en">GOLF</display-name>
</channel>

I bet this will make the channel id unique... but will this make the things more complicated?

Yes, I still have the problem when using the titantv2xml4 app that you posted prevously. Here is a snippet of the channel definitions.

The provider id is G_77346

It'd be ok to do that when there is a clash, but you really want to try to left it as id="33" (or id="0033") if there isnt a clash. When the id is number, then GB-PVR treats it as the preferred channel number. This saves the user having to manually enter the channel number next to each channel in the capture source channel list.

Thats the way it works today, so best to try an build it for compatibility.

Here is a version that can be used with gbpvr.
First, unzip. Copy titantv2xmltv.exe in GBPVR folder.
Edit UpdateEPG.bat and add a line just like in runme.bat with your provider, your number of days and the output xml file.

here is an example on what to put in UpdateEPG.bat:

Code:

titantv2xmltv.exe EGZPL6LDNS45236SYJ1A9GAVPVNTG9 A_62018 3 c:\xmltv-test.xml

Yes, I still have the problem when using the titantv2xml4 app that you posted prevously. Here is a snippet of the channel definitions.

just for elbryyan (or anyone who has the problem he have): to make sure that you won't get duplicates, please add a 5 param at the end of the command line:

Code:

titantv2xmltv.exe EGZPL6LDNS45236SYJ1A9GAVPVNTG9 A_62018 3 c:\xmltv-test.xml [B]USESTATIONID[/B]

let me know if this works or not.

Thanks very much for this. How many days can you use? Or has anyone tested this yet?
I'm still concerned about using the same UUID.
Also, I don't see an UpdateEPG.bat but did you mean PostUpdateEPG.bat?

you need to make the UpdateEPG.bat. It gets run before the EPG update.
