Thanks for your test file...............It works Great............but I need to duplicate this and add Sports .

mc2xml does the merging for you. The command is -I uk.xml -o guide.xml

Maybe look at the tutorial post again. The only time I use notepad++ is to add one extra (very small) pull that I do. The reason for this is that the software only allows you to combine 2 files at one time and merge them. It might not even be an issue for those people using the Microsoft Legacy (Rovi) service.

I saw that, but the description lead me to believe it just reverses channel name/channel number order, so I figured it would still be a two-step process.

Site description: -F output channel "name" first (rather than "number name")

Well....................it would be very nice to have the ( I option ) in the software ...but its not available in the Gui for me ....is this option a cmd prompt command?

Thanks for this reply ...it really helped.
I hope you can find the time to adjust the 1st post and include all relevant info into this 1st post.
That will be most concise and create far less stupid questions like mine .....cluttering this thread .....and condense for future ...user friendly users.

Thanks for all your time and help.Sir.

I understood it the same way, too. But when I did my pulls I would have the same channels with different numbers depending on if they were HD and when there were several options like ITV London, Scotland, etc. When I added the -F all of that seemed to go away. So I don't actually totally understand all the guts of the software, but basically fumble through it. As long as I get something that works... :)

The way you map channels is the following

XML file to match the channel name inside kodi exactly as it shows on your pvr client. So instead of ESPN HD you'd rename it ESPN-HD. Do the same for every channel you want data for.

---

Again, there are several ways you could do this. So whatever works for you - great. However, when you are working with a 60 MB file, changing data can be frustrating with freezes and crashes. Might be way easier to just change the channel name in the pvr to match what you have in the EPG. But it doesn't matter how you do it, just that you get the guide

As far as the HD channels go - I don't have any guide info for those in my pvr. I simply moved those channels to be directly under the SD version. Eg Science has Science HD right under it in the pvr. So I know that whatever is listed in the guide for Science is the same program info for the HD variant.

<programme start="20150717150000 +0000" stop="20150717160000 +0000" channel="I46.193753106.microsoft.com

SchedD musnt mind to much about location since its Paid for.

Going to try pulling US .xml with Webgrab+ It has more "free" options than mc2xml but a lot slower.

If I'm barking up wrong tree advise me.

---

Not sure what to tell you here other than I use zip code 33334 and output the guide data in UTC, so it works fine. As far as more free options, I would think that both Webgrab+ and mc2xml (media center to xml) would offer the same providers. It should just depend on how many providers offer cable/satellite service in any give area (zip code). Does that make sense?

ALSO: There is a forum elsewhere for Media Center users, so this may have already been addressed and answered. I haven't been back there in a couple of months. There's a link to it on the awardspace site (if I'm not mistaken)

Thanks again for taking the time to help us out :cool:

Just don't get overwhelmed. Take a deep breath first and relax. You may have to read the info a few times before it begins to make sense. I had to read it several times myself. And I still go back to awardspace.info to look at the options for using the software.

Of course, this stuff would be easier to understand for folks that are used to working in a command prompt environment. I go back to the DOS days, so there is that, lol. But just take your time, read it a couple of times. Take a break. Go back to it again another day and then it won't seem so intimidating. :)

If you are pulling from the Microsoft source (Rovi, technically, now), the display name ends up being something like 202 CNN. Our service uses the display name CNN US. The only way I could accomplish the transformation in the REN file was to do this

202:
CNN:CNN US

It necessitated a two-step process. You would think you could accomplish the transformation in one step, i.e.,

202 CNN:CNN US

But m2xml does not like the space between 202 and CNN, so (at least for me) I had to eliminate the 202 first via

202:

And then I could handle renaming CNN to CNN US via

CNN:CNN US

I'm not sure if this is the only way or the easiest way, but it does work.

This will make sense to you when you begin creating your REN text file and you are using the Rovi source for your data. If you find a simpler method for doing this, please post your strategy for all to learn.

Necessity IS the Motherhood of Invention!

Hey Ilan,

I just printed out a Microsoft pull for Directv and had a look at the channel IDs. It's about the same as SD in that there are several ways to call IDs.
e.g. <channel id="I204.28460808.microsoft.com">
<display-name>204 HLN</display-name>
<display-name>204</display-name>
<display-name>HLN</display-name>
<display-name>Satellite</display-name>
</channel>

So~ you can set up your .chl and .ren files by using either 204, HLN or I204.28460808.microsoft.com and you will (in theory) get the same results.

N'est pas?

Hi Guys,

Great info! This pretty much answers the questions that I had. The only question I still have is whether anyone knows how to get a full list of the channels that are coming from NFPS. I wasn't able to find a temp file in the Kodi userdata which has this. I'm guessing that it is probably in 1 of the .db sqlite files but I could be wrong. It would be easier for me to try to create a fuzzy mapping script in case of changes/additions to the channel listing from NFPS.

My goal is to create something automated that I don't need to follow-up on too much. If I am able to accomplish this, I will do something similar to Psyc0n where I can just provide a url for people to use. However, I have to dig into this more before I can get a feel whether I have the time/effort to do so.

I mentioned in another post that I have a week off from work so I want to focus on this and see what I can come up with.

I will take another look tomorrow. When I originally was setting up the .chl and .ren files, it didn't seem like I could map that easily. I'll reasses tomorrow to determine where the problem was (or appeared to be).

I've been adding 10 or 15 more channels each day. The madness to my method works, but maybe I can simplify it.

Oui!

Code:

---

http://pastebin.com/09ta5dQA

---

All this is folks, is a printout of the majority of applicable channels for those who want to create your own EPG. This has the kids and sports in it. I deleted everything once the lineup started with music channels.

From what I see it is basically the same as what I use for Schedules Direct (SD). So you can download this file and create your xxx.chl and xxx.ren files using the info found in this thread. I won't do the same for UK data because for those that are so inclined to actually learn this and do it for themselves, that shouldn't be an issue.

I found the list of channels coming from NFPS. It's in the userdata/Database folder in file: TVXX.db. You can use sqlitebrowser of python (if inclined) to export the table. I'm planning to do the mapping manually for now and then work on making it a little more automated in the mapping.

Below is the table export for those interested:

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php...45448487049146

I just tried writing the pull script using mc2xml but it's not working for mac. It looks like it is an issue with UPX which completely broken in Sierra. I saw that UPX is looking to release a fix today. FYI for Mac users.

Feel free to contact the developer at awardspace.info and request it. I don't think it will get you anywhere, but.... Actually, you can set up a batch file to automate everything once you have it all worked out what you want the software to do. There are too many options to use with the mx2xml for the GUI to be modded much further

Thanks for this reply ...it really helped.

I don't remember if I already answered this or not but you merge them right from within mc2xml by using the -I option. So if you already had us.xml and were pulling uk data you add -I us.xml -o epg.xml to the command line options.

I'll bet that if you look in the IPTV Stalker addondata you will find the channel list.

Can the xml file be loaded into Ivue?

i understand the xml but what is the .chi and .ren?

wouldnt the xml file have everything that is needed to the epg?

.chl and .ren are text files used in association with the program m2xml. They automate channel selection and channel renaming for mapping purposes. You'll need to read through the thread to fully understand.

I am currently using kodi with PVR Stalker and am trying to use the file you provided. I downloaded the file you posted and un-zipped it, placed it on my kodi box and then went in to pvr stalker addon for kodi and setup the settings to allow this file to be used to provide the guide. I set the Scope to Local Path and put the path to the location where the file is located. Saved everything, cleared the guided data and restarted Kodi. After waiting for about 3 minutes the guided fails to load. Looking in the Kodi Log i get an error AddOnLog Stalker Client LoadEPG: XMLTV Parse Failed and Parse Failed to load XMLTV data. Is there anything I need to do to the file you posted besides unzipping it to get it to work?

Thanks for all the work.

Tim

What type of box are you trying to load it to? Do you have enough internal space & RAM to load the hefty 50 MB file? In KODI settings (TV > Guide ) how many days do you have listed to display?

In order to troubleshoot we need a bit more info for us to try and help you out.

NO. That would involve working with the Ivue foks unless you already know how to use your own xml with Ivue. You could try, but for what reason? It works with the pvr already.

What Ilan said...read the tutorial.

yes

Again, read the tutorial as it's explained. There is a separate tutorial pinned that says 'no discussion' and perhaps you will find that easier to follow. It has just 5 entries in it.

I ended up choosing the MS display name that only had one "syllable" for mapping. Thus, if MS had four display names: 202 CNN, CNN News, 202 and CNN Newsroom, I chose 202 and entered

202:CNN US

in the REN file.

=======================

Ack, maybe that's not what you meant. I have always used ID's in the CHL file.

Yeah, I just wondered if you tried just using CNN in .chl and CNN:CNN US in .ren files.
As I posted last night, I got the impression that either of the 3 listed IDs would work.
Again, more than one way to skin that poor kitty. ;)

Yes, I was thinking that the top most display name was the one crucial for mapping, so an entry like 202 CNN threw me for a loop and required my two-step renaming, which (despite its stupidity) actually worked quite well.

Here is more info. I am loading it to a windows 7 computer that i use as my storage for a Raspberry PI 3 that actually runs KODI. Raspberry PI 3 is running LibreELEC v7.0.2 Kernel 4.4.13 with a 16GB sd card. It has 736 MB Ram with 542 available. The file is shared out using a windows SMB share. The drive and file has the proper security settings and is reachable and from the kodi box.

Tim

I just looked in the TV settings and it was set to display 3 days. I changed it to 8 to see if that would change anything since that's how many days are in the file. No change still does not load the file. In the PVR settings should it be set to cache guide data and if so how long? Default is 24 hours.

I would think a pi doesn't have the power to load that file, sorry. And if it did, I should think you would only want it to display 1 day. From all the posts I have seen in the past, people with pis do have memory load probs sometimes.

If you COULD get it to load I would guess 24 hours. But 542 MB is probably not enough to load the file. My android box has 2 GB and it loads OK on that.

Somebody with a pi or knowledge of them would have to tell you if it could load up a 50 MB file in KODI. I think that's probably asking too much of the pi, but IDK.

Expatter should your xmltv.xml file work in kodi TV guide full screen or Ivue?

As long as YOU know how to setup and use those addons to use your own xmltv file, then yes. All that matters is that channel names match between pvr and guide. Personally, I don't use any of the alternative epg addons as the one provided with KODI works fine and looks good. It's basically the same one as Psyc0n's with the coloured genres.

Feel free to figure it out how to use the other addons. I looked at the full screen addon a few months back but gave up trying to figure it out. And once I made my own xmltv file and it worked with the pvr/guide, there was no longer any reason for me to try and reinvent the wheel. The whole point of my doing this was that I got tired of being frustrated all the time. Now I'm good. But to each his own.

Cheers.

I was able to get most of the channels for UK and USA. I also set up a redirect to a domain I had laying around to go to the guide.xml on a github repo. I set up the guide.xml to be for 36 hours and I will share the url once I automate the call and put it on a server.

TODO:
- Automating the call to the guides
- Error Handling for failures or failed downloads
- Removing excess data i.e. credits, ratings, etc. (Not sure what is actually relevant to people and the different epgs that will use it)

Does anyone know the service to use for Latin America channels.

Thank you very much expatter for the tutorial:)

Please let me know when you setup your domain. I didn't realize how much I miss the guide till it was gone.

Hey Ex!

Got a question related to message #20 in the tutorial.

NOT EVERYONE WILL HAVE TO DO THIS, JUST DEPENDS ON HOW COMPLETE THE DATA FROM YOUR PULL IS!
After this is done, open freesat.xml and go down to where <channel id="blah, blah, blah", and highlight all the info down to </channel> highlight and copy the highlighted text. Close the file and open guide.xml in notepad++ and go to line 5, where <channel id="blah, blah, blah" is and insert a carriage return. Go down 1 line and paste the data in memory. Resave the file (guide.xml)

Question: You wouldn't be copying any of the freesat program information if you left out the <programme>...</programme> tags, correct? You'd be including freesat channel data but not freesat programme data, unless I'm reading something wrong...which is certainly not beyond me.

Good catch Ilan. I do highlight the entire contents down to the last line (end of file) where it says </tv> and then move up one line which ends with </programme>.

I'll edit the post. Tks.

If Viper8690 isn't up and running by this weekend, I will post another epg as the current guide info peters out.

Viper - these are pulled from the epg grabber that was under development

Like I said these are pulled from the old epg grabber files so you can see that they are incomplete but it is a better starting point then from scratch. there are also the latino skymex which have a mc2xml ren and chl files as follows

hope this helps, Just remember that this list is old from when the epg grabber was being developed. I have been working on my epg for a couple of weeks, there have been to many inconsistancies with the EPG for a while now as far as up and down goes. I would rather do my own pulls and have the correct data displayed. I have about the same list up and running as expat with 48h pulls with 98% of the english channels.

Nice work, Issues.

Got another question for you, Ex, related to the tutorial:

mc2xml (-J user/password) -D ota.dat -C ota.chl -R ota.ren -d 200 -a -U -u -F -o ota.xml
mc2xml (-J user/password) -D us.dat -C us.chl -R us.ren -d 200 -a -U -u -F -I ota.xml -o us.xml
mc2xml (-J user/password) -D freesat.dat -C freesat.chl -R freesat.ren -d 200 -a -U -u -F -o freesat.xml
mc2xml (-J user/password) -D uk.dat -C uk.chl -R uk.ren -d 200 -a -U -u -F -I us.xml -o guide.xml

Are these individual batch files (.bat files)? If so, why did you choose to do a cut and paste with the freesat data? Couldn't you have done another include in the third batch run to get around it? I'm intrigued :)

mc2xml (-J user/password) -D freesat.dat -C freesat.chl -R freesat.ren -d 200 -a -U -u -F -I us.xml -o us_freesat.xml
mc2xml (-J user/password) -D uk.dat -C uk.chl -R uk.ren -d 200 -a -U -u -F -I us_freesat.xml -o guide.xml

No, these are not batch files. I did make some but then since I was making changes whilst getting it all figured out, etc, I didn't get around to saving the above as ???.bat files yet. I just open a command prompt (I leave it open, actually, and then I don't have to re-enter the info. I just do an F3 and use the cursor keys to change the names of files I am working with. A bat wouldn't work with highlighting and copy/paste when I have to do that since the amount of data is different every pull.

When I run my pull the whole thing takes about 8-10 minutes. It's when I add the new file to the pvr and look to see if there is missing info that I know if I need to do an ad hoc run for any channels that might not have had any info for whatever reason.

Savez vous ?
