[Solved] Xmltv EPG off by 2 hours

[spleencheesemonkey]

Good stuff. Almost there I think. Just need a little guidance on the "don't forget to chmod +x PostUpdate.sh" if you'd be so kind?

I run the sed command in the command line?
what exactly am i chmodding? the xmltv.xml file?

Will the guide stay up to date or will this have to be a regular activity done every couple of days/when the guide runs out?

You are going to have to figure out the curl line (it did work fine here) and then you will need to create the PostUpdate.sh file like this and map xmltv.xml to your channel instead of the url

Code:

curl -L 'http:....' -o xmltv.xml
sed -i 's/ +0000"/ -0200"/g' xmltv.xml

I leave it to you to figure out paths and all the rest yourself.  Don't forgot to chmod +x PostUpdate.sh

Fantastic.  You sir, are a genius. 
I figured out (with google help) that I needed to create the script, make it executable, run the script, reimport the listing and guide (as you said), then I had to create a n xmltv channel lineup in the EPG sources section of the guide configuration page.
I also had to change the sed script to PLUS 2hours to make it work.

Thanks so much for your assistance.  A donation will be on it's way.

One final question if I may; How will the EPG be kept up to date?  Is this something I will have to do on a regular basis/when the EPG guide runs out?

No genius, I screwed up the name, it is UpdateEPG.sh. This script get run every time before NextPVR starts the the actual EPG update so as long as the URL works your guide will be fine.

Does that mean I should rename the script from PostUpdate.sh to UpdateEPG.sh?

[mvallevand]

Yes.
