Hi.
Is it possible to somehow map EPG directly to the "http://.../xmltv.xml" file?

This will be nice.

Doing this automatically is trivial

Hi.
I known wget.
But how to make download to be done automatically? How to prevent locking the file by nPVR update process?

put the wget command in updateepg.bat; NPVR won't touch the xml file until updateepg.bat is done.

Something is wrong. I download the *.xml file, set it as source to XMLTV on Channel "ct1", but when i click on mapping, nothing is there.

The channel "ct1" is in xmltv file.

Maybe the file is not compatible with npvr?

Whurlston's update to my example showed how to output the xml to an named folder. I suspect you aren't creating your file in the right place ie the folder you point to in NextPVR.

That file does not comply with the xmltv spec. It only contains programme information and no channel information.
Code:
<!ELEMENT channel (display-name+, icon*, url*) >
<!ATTLIST channel id CDATA [B][color=#FF0000]#REQUIRED [/color][/B]>
DTD (specs): http://xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/.../xmltv.dtd

So then i am lost. This is only one free EPG source in Czech i am avare of.
The problem i have with DVT-T EPG is naming of series to record complete serie. For example there is "The Simpsons XXII (1)", then "The Simpsons XXII (2)", "The Simpsons XXII (3)", etc... so nPVR will fail to locate the next part of the serie :/

the portion of the xmltv file that contains the channel data should be fairly static, perhaps you can create it by hand and then merge it with the program data that comes from the epg server.
