EPG for US and UK Channels

[ADP0361]

ExPatter, Thank You for the quick and detailed response. Will certainly make those adjustments as recommended and let you know. Thanks Again, much appreciated Sir.

[Supreme]

Thank you so much, it is a life saver for those who really utilize the epg

Is the acidjesus guide down? I has not been working for me for the last couple days. If it is down, does anyone know of any other working guide?

[ilan]

It loaded for me. Try reloading at a few different times.

UPDATE Nov 8th 2017

It came to my attention that some of the users reported that the server that hosts EPG sometimes takes forever to load the guide and the download speeds are pretty low too. So from now on you guys will have two options for the EPG you can use either

http://acidjesus.tk/guide.xml

or you can use

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acidjesuz/EPG/master/guide.xml

it's up to you which one works best for you.

The EPG hosted on git will be updated/committed automatically every day at midnight CST. Nothing else changed besides that everything else stays the same.

Right nice of you, Acid. I doff my chapaeux in your direction.

Hey aCiD~I checked out your new guide on git and I'm sure ppl will be happy with the improved load time. I noticed a few things you might want to tweak:

For UK Watch you have:

Cheers dude!

UPDATE: Seems the one hosted on GitHub works with PerfectPlayer! Great, and thanks for sharing. Much appreciated. Quick question, AcidJesus has an awesome guide and works on many apps. But doesn't seem to load fully on Perfect Player. Am I possibly missing something. Thanks Champ!

Seems as though PP loads guide data from the bottom line of the <channel> field. So for channels that don't auto populate you'd have to manually assign/map the ones that have no data. You only have to do it one time as long as you don't change to another guide. If you open the guide on a screen and look at it, it'll be easy to see how to map them.

Example:

<channel id="I227.50716.schedulesdirect.org">
<display-name>Channel 4</display-name>
<display-name>227 Channel 4</display-name>
<display-name>227</display-name>
<display-name>Channel 4 HD</display-name>
<display-name>C4</display-name>
<icon src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/schedulesdirect/assets/stationLogos/s50716_h3_aa.png" width="360" height="270" />
</channel>
<channel id="I231.47657.schedulesdirect.org">
<display-name>More 4</display-name>
<display-name>231 More 4</display-name>
<display-name>231</display-name>
<icon src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/schedulesdirect/assets/stationLogos/s47657_h3_aa.png" width="360" height="270" />
</channel>
<channel id="I241.58793.schedulesdirect.org">
<display-name>Dmax</display-name>
<display-name>241 Dmax</display-name>
<display-name>241</display-name>
<display-name>DMAX</display-name>
<icon src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/schedulesdirect/assets/stationLogos/s58793_h3_aa.png" width="360" height="270" />
</channel>
<channel id="I245.61458.schedulesdirect.org">
<display-name>Watch</display-name>
<display-name>245 Watch</display-name>
<display-name>245</display-name>
<display-name>W</display-name>
<display-name>WUKTVHD</display-name>
<icon src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/schedulesdirect/assets/stationLogos/s61458_h3_aa.png" width="360" height="270" />
</channel>

Out of these channels, it's likely that only Dmax would auto populate. At least that's my understanding of it.

Just to add my observations, PP on Android uses Channel ID (tvg-id) to match up the guide.
PP for WinPC uses the Display Name, but when loading the xml guide file, it takes "All Display Names", and appends them together ???
For Watch on 245, you get ->Watch245Watch245WWUKTVHD. So wont match anything.
