EPG Language Selection in V5

[akatelka]

I set a system variable like that (what name should i put?)

The name would be "NEXTPVR_EIT_LANG". The value would be "gre"

 
Thanx sub. All good now...

I am getting show names in English and descriptions in Chinese. Tried setting both LanguagePreferenceEIT and the environment variable NEXTPVR_EIT_LANG to chi. Emptied and update EPG and still the same.

Maybe the value should be something else? If so how do I find it?

Please post logs ... What is your EPG source? ... https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/get-help ... Thanks.

Assuming you're using the DVB EPG, you'll probably need to capture a sample file so I can check it out here. To do this, use the evaluation version of TSCapture (from https://tscapture.com) to capture a 1 minute full transport stream, and put it some where like dropbox or onedrive, and let me know the download link.

From the tables I see it could be zh or zho for zhong guo.

I am using DVB EPG. Log files: mega.nz.
I cleared all the logs files in C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\logs and obtained the log with:

1. Stop NextPVR Service
   
2. Set NEXTPVR_EIT_LANG and LanguagePreferenceEIT to chi
   
3. Start NextPVR Service
   
4. Empty EPG. Check TV Guide: all empty
   
5. Update EPG. Check TV Guide: show names in English while descriptions in Chinese (Some are English depends on show language)
   
6. Repeat the above steps using zho instead of chi

zho doesn't work either.

Edit: tried zh and still the same

It is chi but my extractor, fill it in with nonsense chinese characters. There are also many shows with no chinese

The output from your extractor seems not encoding the Chinese characters correctly.
Take the 4 characters above SpongeBob as example: 睭뽽
The hex values in UTF-16BE are 776D BF7D F65B F65B

SpongeBob in Chinese is 海綿寶寶
And the hex values in UTF-16 are also 776D BF7D F65B F65B

So seems like an endianness problem for the output of your extractor.

[mvallevand]

Yes thanks for confirming I figured it was an endianess issue. That decoder isn't used by sub in NextPVR but it should give him enough to go on. The "chi" data is not very complete either, I am not sure that is the extractor but for a good EPG I hope sub uses English when available.

I've managed to get this fixed.
