No Episode info for certain channels

shaboobala · (This post was last modified: 2017-10-08, 04:23 PM by shaboobala.)

Currently using zap2xml and I am having problems with a couple of channels (Cartoon network and Nickelodeon) The Guide shows all of the correct shows that are airing but does not give me specific episode information (episode synopsis, or season or episode number). Has anyone run into this problem before and know how to fix it? Don't know if it matters but the service provider is Comcast.

Any ideas on this one

Check the zap2it web site for your zip code and CableCo with a browser and if the data is there check with the zap2xml support. Using Schedules Direct for a cup of coffee a month will get you built in NextPVR support and much better legitimate access to the EPG data provider should you need it.

Do you receive episode synopsis, season and episode number for other channels? Are you using the -D option in your UpdateEpg batch file? I don't have Cartoon Network or Nickolodeon but I believe zap2it provides the info or at least it does here in Sacramento, CA.

zap2it - ill post up my own... to not clog here..

Since I'm new to all of this. I'm not sure if it is NextPVR (which seems to see everything in guide) or MCEBuddy not being able to find it to rename,etc..

I'm not sure what season/episode/etc info is available in zap2it xmltv files, so you'd probably need to supply the .xml file too so I can check it for you. It's almost certainly just a case of data not supplied by your EPG file, rather than anything NextPVR is doing wrong.
