npvr not using prefered language for EPG

[Reddwarf]

I saw an AD for a coming show on Discovery HD and wanted to record it, so I used the SearchLite plugin to find it but it didn't seem to be in the EPG. Strange, so I took a look in the TVGuide.xml which I update my egp from. And yes, the show is there. It has title and description in all the Scandinavian languages, but Danish comes first and that is what npvr uses when updating epg.

The language code in the xmltv file is a two letter code, while the language code in Config.xml is three letters, ie. "no" and "nor". I changed the codes in Config.xml (<LanguagePreference1>NOR</LanguagePreference1>) to two letters, emptied the epg and updated again. But npvr still takes the first title and description after the <programme... in the xmltv file. So when I searched for "American chopper" the title in the database was actually "Amerikansk chopper".

The TVGuide.zip can be downloades from ftp://orion.servebeer.com using anonymous and your email as username/password.

I'd really appreciate if you can fix this Sub, because sometimes the original English title is translated to something very different in Danish (or Swedish or whatever language comes first in the xmltv file).

Same problem with "from air" epg, because I live in bilingual country. Very annoying setup recurring recodings, because titles are some day finnish and other swedish.

Reddwarf, try adding <PreferredLangXMLTV>nor</PreferredLangXMLTV> in the <General> section of your config.xml.

Reddwarf, try adding <PreferredLangXMLTV>nor</PreferredLangXMLTV> in the <General> section of your config.xml.

Will do later tonight and report back.

Added the setting to Config.xml and ran Update EPG from System plugin after restarting NextPVR, but the show descriptions are still in Danish, ie the first description occuring in TVGuide.xml

If you can post a current xmltv file (ie, listing in the future), then I can check for you.

Looking at your old file, that should have been:

<PreferredLangXMLTV>no</PreferredLangXMLTV>

Ah yes, the 2 or 3 letter confusion. I'll try later when my wife finishes watching "The Voice"

BTW: The file at my ftp server has data for a week from yesterday.
