for Belgian xmltv listings I use pytvgrab (http://pytvgrab.sourceforge.net/), you have to install python, then pytvgrab lib, then pytvgrab tlm(for Wallonie) or tvb (for Vlanderen). Then you have to create a batch file that will run the python script for you and run the batch at windows startup. In gbpvr, just configure to update from the xml file created by pytvgrab everyday, and voilà ! It works fine for me, don't hesitate to ask questions if you can't get it setup, and don't forget to thank the authors of pytvgrab

Hi,

I am having still some problems, i did what you said:

you have to install python, then pytvgrab lib, then pytvgrab tvb (for Vlanderen)
After this i ran the tvb file and it asked me wich channels to get
so i replied a for all.

Now it starts fetching the epg and when finished the cmd window closes.

My question:

Where can i find the epg listing it made ???? i've searched for *.xml afterwards but i couldn't find anything ???

And do i have to copy this xml file to a special directory for gbr to detect
the file

thanks in advance

you need to send it to a text file (not just output to the command prompt)

So (after having run it once to set up channel prefs), you can use a batch file to grab at every startup.

This is what I run in the batch file :

Code:

:start
Sleep 10
del tvguidenew.xml
del tvguideold.xml
Sleep 10
C:\Python24\Python C:\Python24\Scripts\tv_grab_be_tlm.py --output=tvguidenew.xml --days=5
if errorlevel 10 goto start

ren tvguide.xml tvguideold.xml
ren tvguidenew.xml tvguide.xml

Just create the batch file in a folder with sleep.exe
Sleep is a dos utility you can find here :
http://www.computerhope.com/dutil.htm
(or google for it)

The only thing you have to do now is select the produced file (tvguide.xml) as the epg source in GBPVR's capture source config


The batch files works like this (feel free to change it to suit your needs) :
The first sleep is so I have time to stop it manually.
The second one is in case of disk lag whilst deleting the old files.
Then it runs the script to grab for the next 5 days, writing the info to tvguidenew.xml
Finally it renames the new and old files.

I have it setup this way : my box is set to startup at 18h30 from bios. I added a shortcut to the batch file in windows startup folder, so when windows boots it retrieves the data (but I have 10 seconds to stop it manually). And gbpvr is set to update the epg everyday at 20h00. Works a charm. Hope this helps you

I've found jxmltv to be a better Belgian xmltv provider.
You can find it at http://users.skynet.be/jxmltv

Don't hesitate to ask if you want to give it a try as there are some settup tips and tricks
