Sky IT / UK / UK Freesat EPG - Page 2

Another thing I've found is

When I press the Refresh EPG, the program table is totally emptied but TSWriter is being told that the channels are already up to date.

TsWriter.zip

Ok,

Before you use this, this file will only download the times and titles.

I have been keeping people hanging on so I thought I would share what I have so far.

To use.

** BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL TSWriter.ax **

Stop your TV Service

Now copy the one from the zip file into your Team Mediaportal/TV Server directory

Start your TV Service.

Make sure you have scanned 28.2e for all the possible channels.

Now go into Radio EPG Grabber. Thats Radio not TV.

Find EPG Background Audio or IEPG Data 1.

Select one of these and wait about 40mins.

You should now see information for your channels.

Bear in mind that this is just a test to see if anyone gets any errors so far.

When I have integrated the Summaries I will post another file. If the testing is then successful I will speak with the Developers about integrating it into an SVN.

If you wish to check the progress of your EPG download. Look in your log file directory. When your EPG file gets to about 1meg then it is usually finished.

Thank you DJBlu!
I'll try it ASAP...

Will you post the source code also?

Bye,
Nephilim

If and when all is working 100% then hopefully I will add it to the SVN.

Ok,

I got some good news and bad news.

I can get all the data to link together. So all the summaries and titles show.

The bad news

There is so much data the TVServer.exe runs at 1.6 gig memory usage. I am trying to sort this as we speak. I am going to have to make it so that it downloads 1 day at a time.

Hi,

It doesn't work for me...

Logs in attach.

Cheers,

Will have another file later tonight which will give you the EPG for 570ish channels on 28.2e. I will then start to work on 13e and Sky Italia.
