EPG with extra

[ballfam]

I'm having trouble picking up my EPG with an extras channel. This is using Matt's channels and EPG for Australia, but with an extra to pipe one channel through ffmpeg. So the extra says:

Code:

<extras>
    <channel channel-id="mjh-seven-syd" tvg-id="mjh-seven-syd" tvg-logo="https://i.mjh.nz/.images/seven-syd.png" tvg-chno="7" group-title="Sydney" name="Seven">
      <command>ffmpeg</command>
      <args>-re -v panic -i https://i.mjh.nz/seven-syd.m3u8 -codec copy -c:s copy -f mpegts -</args>
    </channel>
</extras>

And the base channel is:

Code:

#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="mjh-seven-syd" tvg-id="mjh-seven-syd" tvg-logo="https://i.mjh.nz/.images/seven-syd.png" tvg-chno="7" group-title="Sydney" , Seven
https://i.mjh.nz/seven-syd.m3u8

The EPG is at https://i.mjh.nz/au/Sydney/epg.xml

When I refresh the EPG, I get the program info for the base channel, but the Extras channel continues to say "no listings". I thought this was keyed from the channel-id string, but it seems not. I was very careful to paste everything in the EXTINF into my extra in case some other info is used, but no luck

Can anyone spot what I did wrong here?

Thanks

Extras don't support EPG, you need to manually map it if automap doesn't work. Automap is on name or number and you don't have the number in the extra it uses number="" not IPTV tags like tvg-chgno but I don't think sub supports lcn for automapping either.

Thanks Martin. I'll try to mess with the values to see if I can get it to automap. Is there any doc on how to manually map if that fails?

The best way to make it automap correctly is by having the same channel names in your extra and epg source. (otherwise NextPVR can easily tell they're the same channel)

His XMLTV has <display-name>Seven</display-name> and name="Seven" and he said it doesn't update. Perhaps the XMLTV script is the issue so we might need the logs. First @ballfam confirm the date and time on the source XMLTV files is changing.

ballfam, if you want to supply your npvr.db3, and xmltv file, I'll check why the auto mapping is not working.

Thanks. nextpvr.db3 and m3u8 xml file attached (xml file is mostly a copy of Matt's with some adjustments for channel 10 and 7 to make them work with NextPVR)

I'm happy to use manual map if it works (Martín, thanks for the link); I'll give it a try meantime.

It won't let me upload files (I'm probably out of upload quota). I added them to Gdrive here:

No one can upload more the an 2MB and attachments must be zipped.
