Ah that could be it. I'll check and come back to you.

Edit:

Try to delete the TvGuide.xml (then restart the EPG Service) and check then mappings in the XMLTV PLugin.

Did that (before update aswell).

Hi!

For Norway, have you checked gFeed?
http://www.gfeed.info/
Data: http://epg.gfeed.info/xmltv/00index.html

Forum: http://mspc.no/board/
Contact person@ forum: ChristianW

Please read: http://mspc.no/board/index.php?topic=31.0 (Norwegian - but I guess you can understand it IF you are Scandinavian?)

Hi,

No, I havent seen the gfeed stuff before, just went passed it. The data seems rather bit old and there are some channels missing ?. What do you suggest ?.


I only have :
Barnkanalen
SVT HD
Motors TV

with swedish text?.

I took a look at gfeed, but it is missing more channels than the Nordic EPG Service.

I only have :
Barnkanalen
SVT HD
Motors TV

with swedish text?.

For me it's not important if som of the EPG info is in swedish. Better to have it than not at all.
And antoher thing, is it possible to combine EPG info for NRK3 and NRKSuper, so that I dont need two seperate channels?

Hi NetRom,

I have already added functionality, that gives you the ability to Replace/Merge EPG Channels. If you place a XSLT script called PostProcess.xslt in the EPG download folder the file will get processed on each download.

In Denmark we have some regional programs that gets transmitted on the same channel, so it needed to merge the different channels together. I have added a XSLT sample that merges TV2 Lorry into TV2.

http://www.heerfordt.com/files/PostProcess.xslt

I think it would fairly easy for you to do this merge, if you download the sample file and edit the following line:

<!-- Convert lorry ID's into TV2 -->
<xsl:when test="string()='041.heerfordt.com'">003.heerfordt. com</xsl:when>

Replace 041.heerfordt.com with 007.heerfordt.com
and 003.heerfordt.com with 006.heerfordt.com

Then all the NRK Super programs should be merge together with NRK3.. Try it.

Hi.
It works great!

But I found out that the icon downloader does not like that the channel in the tvguide.xml file does not have an icon soruce.
Both NRK Super and FEM does not have a icon source. The downloader just stops... changed the source and the download worked!

Ty, for finding that bug Wasent part of anyone testcases....

I have now corrected the problem. Did you get the XSLT stuff to work ?.

Got a question regarding the MCE tvserver client plugin. Would it be possible to use the channel names defined in TV server and not the default ones? In Denmark some analog channels are not named correctly (302, "showname" etc. etc.) so they make little sense. Thanks anyway for a great plugin. Are any updates planned?

[heerfordt]

Hi,

I have just issued a patch, so that the DisplayName is prefered. You can try it... havent tested it.

I have not planned any future releases for the plugin.. as it currently fulfill my requirements.
