UK OTA EPG New Programmes

Don't say sorry I wasn't clear.  There is no episode only parsing in that file so it must be something upcoming.

Martin

That's great news, thanks for the help.

Before saying it is great, we will need to see how sub will be dealing with episode only information in recordings since S/E was never truly exposed in the recording.list XML API.

Also note I had to open a PR just to display the part numbers https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/25439 hopefully a backport will be allowed.

I took the liberty of removing the duplicated S/E information that NextPVR was putting in the subtitle too.

I've submitted the changes to GitHub with test builds here I think even without the added episode parsing there is a lot of cleanup of the duplicate S/E information on the skin when there is no subtitle information and things will be much cleaner.

You should see everything in jsonrpc, but the episodepart is not displayed anywhere in Kodi as I noted in the other Kodi PR

Code:

{
    "id": 1,
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": {
        "broadcastdetails": {
            "broadcastid": 233,
            "episodenum": 1,
            "episodepart": 5,
            "label": "Come Dine with Me",
            "seasonnum": -1
        }
    }
}

I'm pretty sure in the situations where it currently knows the episode number but not the season number, the season number is left on the default 0. (not -1)

@ShadowMask, can I see your guide data for today before an EPG update.  I see an EastEnders today is in parts and I am curious how the data looks.

I haven't been using nextpvr this week, normally the EPG would update every morning, but after re-enabling nextpvr iI can see that I need to do an EPG update to grab the guide data for tonight as most of it is missing, is that still going to be of use to you?

I have added it for you anyway:
nextpvr db

Thanks it helps a lot in the sense that the information isn't there.

Code:

Sonia isn't impressed by Reiss's latest scheme, Phil is furious when he's wronged, and Peter is suspicious of Ian. Also in HD. [S,AD]
Jay tries to play peacemaker, Kat worries about Tommy's bad behaviour, and Sharon is grateful for some help at work. [S,AD] [HD]

I was curious where the Part 1 and Part 2 here were coming from https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006m86...des/player and alsow where the Rytkek XML might be scrapping two varieties of this

Code:

<programme start="20240713180000 +0000" stop="20240713183000 +0000" channel="BBCThree.uk">
    <title lang="en">EastEnders</title>
    <sub-title lang="en">E6939 ║ Drama, Soap ║ 1985 ║ 15</sub-title>
    <desc lang="en">Billy decides to throw Stevie a surprise birthday party but a shocking confession leaves him reeling.</desc>
  </programme>
  <programme start="20240713183000 +0000" stop="20240713190000 +0000" channel="BBCThree.uk">
    <title lang="en">EastEnders</title>
    <sub-title lang="en">E6941 ║ Drama, Soap ║ 1985 ║ 15</sub-title>
    <desc lang="en">Stevie makes plans to leave Walford and apologises to Billy and Teddy for everything he's done. Reiss' stress levels are through the roof as he receives an £18,000 bill for Debbie's care fees. Bobby opens up about why

and clearly wrong and odd.

@ShadowMask if you are using NextPVR can you send a link to you npvr.db3 once again. I have been asked by ksooo for some screenshots but I need the UK OTA data for that.

I haven't used it for a while. I re-enabled it, set EPGScanSeconds to 120 and did an epg update before zipping up the npvr.db3 for you.
Hopefully that is up to date enough?

Thanks

Perfect thanks for helping. You even have some recordings with episode part information so I don't have to fake it for my test.
