EPG problem(s)

DrMopar · 2008-03-18, 09:33

Hi, I've got the latest build of TV server and Media Portal up and running well. It's a great bit of software. I'm just having some issues with "fine tuning" the EPG.

1. I'm successfully receiving the New Zealand Freeview EPG off the air but the programme descriptions are duplicated for many programmes. As the info scrolls up it repeats itself and then the divider line goes past and the whole thing then loops. Is this a known issue or something specific to Freeview in NZ?

2. One free to air station (Prime) is not on DVB and so I'm importing the EPG using XMLTVNZ and then using the XMLTV function inside the TV server to read the file in. When I do this it imports fine (and so far without the duplications I'm seeing as described in point one above) but it wipes all of the off air EPG data. Is there any way of using the XMLTV for one channel and the off the air data for the others or are these functions mutually exclusive?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I too have come across the same issue. I used XMLTV for all the channels. I would like to be able to combine the 2 as well.
