Not all EPG data shown in Guide

[janoonk]

I know sub is working on supporting EPG extended description, want to test that first. Have not heard anything about the status

To be honest, I'd entirely forgotten I needed to revisit this for HDHR style devices. Any chance you could supply a new full transport stream capture?

There was a patch posted earlier in the thread for Windows users, with BDA devices.

Not a problem... here you are: https://www.dropbox.com/s/azw77iaa7flrkx...ew.ts?dl=0

I noticed an increase from 152MB to 193MB. My TV provider (Trined) has put more data in the EPG. Movies now contain year, actors, episode and season info, and much more!!

I am happy to test a new Windows version or even better the Docker/Linux version.

Thanks.

Your broadcasts seem to have populated optional things that I've never seen used in other DVB transport streams, so I'm trying to add support for a couple of them.

Maybe you can help me decypher the "episode-num" being used on some of these episodes:
- "MAX geheugentrainer" has "27/105 2020"
- "NOS Journaal" has "28/270"
- "Op1" has "27/121 2"

Those first two examples are the most common formats. Are these "season/episode year" and "season/episode"?

This extra data is unstructured, in that the broadcaster can give whatever tags they want (like "episode-num") and whatever value they want. I'm going to parse "episode-num" and a couple of others if it matches a format NextPVR expects (since some other broadcaster may use some other format).

For now I've appended the unstructured data to the end of the description, so it's at least visible.

It'd be useful if you could capture another sample full transport, from a frequency that contains a channel that have movies like the Commando example above. (I know this data may actually be in the ts you've already supplied, but I can only really see it in the NextPVR UI if it had the channel on the frequency you captured, since my environment wont have picked up these other channels at scan time).

The most important part for me at least is *year* (of the movie). I use that to get more data more IMDB about the movie like ratings, votes etc. Hopefully you can also include that one.

Btw EPG data should have a standard

Educated gueses about episode-num suffix:
MAX geheugentrainer is a twice a workday game on NPO1... 27 = episode, 105 is total, 2020 is year of season when this series started.
NOS journal is news broadcast.. it's run very often per day.
I checked for all broadcasts for some workdays starting on monday 2021/02/08 on NPO1 and *new* episode-num were always at these times:
6:30u 26/220, 07:00u 26/270, 08:30u 25/100, 13:00u 21/250, 16:00u 32/320, 17:00u 27/270
6:30u 27/220, 07:00u 27/270, 08:30u 26/100,                      , 16:00u 33/320, 17:00u 28/270
6:30u 28/220, 07:00u 28/270, 08:30u 27/100, 13:00u 22/250, 16:00u 34/320, 17:00u 29/270

These are the new and unique news broadcast with new content/news. All other broadcasts with these numbers are of different durations and I think are a compilation or compressed version of those unique ones.

Op1 is a talkshow which is run 1-3 times a day with different hosts from different channels:
2021/02/05: 24/121 2, 25/121 2
2021/02/07: 110/121 2
2021/02/08: 26/121 2
2021/02/09: 26/121 2

26 is episode of 121 total and it's season 2

So in short: Episode-TotalEpisodes [season/year]

I use TSCapture and I only can capture/see/use this.

Does TScapture (and NextPVR) have ... All Regions / All Frequencies (or similar) ... as an option in the ... Type Specifi Settings ... Country ... or ... Region ... dropdown lists?

Did you see my post earlier on how to do to do a full mux save from an HDHR?

It should do. If not, you can probably copy the .ini file from c:\users\public\tscapture\tuning\dvb-c into the c:\users\public\NPVR-data\tuning\dvb-c
