Extract / Export EPG data

CYaBro · 2007-10-09, 14:11

Just wondering if there is any way to extract or export the EPG data in TVServer 0.3 to an xml file? (Using Microsoft SQL)
And then hopefully that xml file could be used on another MP machine to import the EPG via the xmltv plugin?

Why would you want to do that? Since MP clients gets it's EPG from the server???

I have a seperate MP machine that is not on the network or the internet and it only receives analog TV so no EPG via DVB etc.

You can export the "program" table out of your database and import it on the other PC.

That would mean I would need to use TVServer 0.3 on the stand-alone MP machine as well.
Would like to avoid that if possible.

You are right, I didn't think before I posted -.-

You could use WebEPG or XMLTV to download an XMLTV fie on your networked machine and then move the file to your second machine. Then you would not have to try and create an XMLTV file from the database.

If not able to export the EPG from MSSQL is there any program that can grab the EGP from the DVB-S stream and create the xml file?

Never mind.

I have just found a source for the EPG that I will download and transfer over.
Thanks guys!
