NextPVR EPG problem

[Ghostalker]

Hello all, I'm new in this forum and I have a problem that I tried several times to solve but with no success so far.

I already know that NextPVR doesn't update EPG from web, just does it from a xmltv file.

Here in Brazil we have a paid service that I can download a xmltv file containing all the avaliable channels and their EPG information. The problem is the .zip file contains 956 .xml files, each file for each channel.

I manually created all my channels and pointed a channel for its respective file but when I try to see the EPG, all the channels are there but with no EPG info. No TV show name, duration and description.

I can upload a file for example, if needed.

Thanks a lot for the patience and help.

Here's an example of what's inside on one file (This is Warner HD channel and some stuff is writen in Portuguese of course):

To confirm ... Did you set a different file name for each channel in the XMLTV file in the Channel Details dialog at the bottom of the page at http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...n.Channels

Did you set the Mapping in the same dialog? Thanks.

[Ghostalker]

Yes my friend, for on this example (Discovery HD Theater)

If you can zip and attach your xmltv file, I'll try it here, and be able to tell you what it doesn't like about the file.

I'll do this right now, in a sec

Here are some samples, thanks a lot for the help

Weird that it's one xmltv file per channel. You'd usually have all the channels in one file.

I tried woo_xmltv.xml and it worked fine.

I also tried vhd_xmltv.xml and vh1_xmltv.xml. These didn't show any listings in NextPVR's TV Guide because the listings in those files were from a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, I don't know either why so many files... I'll test woo_xmltv.xml again and i'll let you know if it's gonna work here or not

Well, still nothing. let me tell you how I did so you can check if something is missing:

1 - Settings > Devices > Device Setup (HD-PVR2) > Add Channel > Channel Number (56) > Channel Name (Woohoo)

2 - Settings > Channels > Details (Channel 56) > Channel Details Tab > General 56 Name (Woohoo) > EPG Source > Source (XMLTV) > XMLTV File (Path of the woo_xmltv.xml) > Mapping (Woohoo)

The weird thing is that I'm choosing Woohoo as the Mapping and then I click OK, I go then check the TV Guide and I see nothing on the Woohoo Channel, and if i go back to mapping the woohoo name isn't saved, may be it's the problem

Edit: Now the mapping is saving Woohoo but still nothing on TV
