Error trying out SD lineup for Norwaay

[Reddwarf]

I'm trying to test SD's lineup for Norway but I don't get Norway in the list of countries, there is an error message in the log while nprv is trying to get the list of countries:

Code:

2015-07-01 21:03:43.254    [ERROR][1]    Unexpected error requesting headends: Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: Error reading JArray from JsonReader. Current JsonReader item is not an array: StartObject. Path '', line 1, position 1.

[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]It sure does, but the channel names does look a bit alien to me, and nothing like in the xmltv file I posted to SD in another thread...

Looks like NextPVR is doing it's thing correctly. Channel names etc are more a Schedules Direct side of things.

Yeah I know, I'v notified rkulagow.

Can you give me some more information on what the issue is, or what's happening with the automapping? The lineup that NextPVR downloads looks like this:

Code:

"map": [
        {
            "stationID": "90047",
            "channel": "011"
        },
        {
            "stationID": "90053",
            "channel": "015"
        },
        {
            "stationID": "17444",
            "channel": "019"
        },
<snip>

"stations": [
        {
            "stationID": "90047",
            "name": "FEM",
            "callsign": "FEMN",
            "broadcastLanguage": [
                "no"
            ],
            "descriptionLanguage": [
                "no"
            ]
        },
        {
            "stationID": "90053",
            "name": "Viasat 4",
            "callsign": "VIA4N",
            "broadcastLanguage": [
                "no"
            ],
            "descriptionLanguage": [
                "no"
            ]
        },
        {
            "stationID": "17444",
            "name": "Discovery Channel (UK)",
            "callsign": "DISCOV",
            "broadcastLanguage": [
                "en-GB"
            ],
            "descriptionLanguage": [
                "en-GB"
            ],
            "logo": {
                "URL": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/schedulesdirect/assets/stationLogos/s17444_h3_aa.png",
                "height": 270,
                "width": 360,
                "md5": "6fa6f537d0abca59498411"
            }
        },
        {
            "stationID": "68137",
            "name": "National Geographic HD",
            "callsign": "NATGHDE",
            "broadcastLanguage": [
                "en-GB"
            ],
            "descriptionLanguage": [
                "en-GB"
            ],
            "logo": {
                "URL": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/schedulesdirect/assets/stationLogos/s68137_h3_aa.png",
                "height": 270,
                "width": 360,
                "md5": "2333af6078e4a3e6d0739f"
            }
        },

So the map indicates which content is on each channel, and then the stations portion gives details on that station. So the full name is available to NextPVR.

What does the auto map look for in order to make the linkage?

Also, if you can send me an updated dump per the "UK" thread, then I can add more information to the lineup on the server so that the mapping function has more to work with.

The channel names all looks like the screenshot I posted, I'll see what other info I can provide.

NextPVR shows the ugly short names here in North America too. Call signs weren't bad before cable.

Ah, so this is not a problem that is unique to my country. Good to know

OK, then I'm not sure there's much that I can do from the Schedules Direct side? Taking the following as an example:

Code:

"stationID": "17444",
"name": "Discovery Channel (UK)",
"callsign": "DISCOV",

then it's up to NextPVR to display the "name" field instead of the "callsign" field in the drop down?

But if there's a different issue then please let me know so that we can make the international data better.
