MediaPortal Forum - View Single Post - EPG Downloader Service for TV Server ONLY

Big_Kev · 2007-12-05, 02:32

This is a little program for downloading EPG data for TV Server, and loading it directly into the TvLibrary database for TV Server.

Features:

Operates as a service with the ability to schedule daily downloads.
It allows you to download from multiple sources
Map multiple MediaPortal channels to the same channel ID in the xml data.
Loads directly to database, no intermediate steps with xmltv files etc.
Fill gaps in incomplete channel listings from other channel data (yes, this does happen in Australia! When the HD channels only have data for the few programs that are different from the SD channel, you need to merge the HD and SD listings to fill the gaps in the HD listing...)
Handles zipped data
Basic authentication for sites that have user ID and password

If you want to give it a try, you can find it at...
