WebEPG grabber for Oztivo

[sockman]

Hey there,
What grabber do I specify for using OzTivo as my source? Does anyone have a sample WebEPG.xml file they could show me?

Cheers,
BW

[Taipan]

At the moment, WEbEPG does not work with OzTiVo - apparently OzTiVo changed their EPG format last week....

James (the author of WebEPG) is aware of it, and I am hoping he will have a solution for us soon....

I’ve fixed the problem of grabbing form Oztivo site use the same info you had in the WebEPG.xml.
Now open this file
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\WebEPG\Grabbers\AU\6-minnie_tuhs_org.xml and replace the code with

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

To be fair to the OzTivo people ( and not to be harsh to James ) but they announced the change to their XML stuff a little over a month ago. We just didn't notice because they had the "old version" ( ie the one which WebEPG works with ) running parallel with the new. They just stopped the old one running last week, which is where the problem occurs.

Well done Forgotten Illustrator - WebEPG works with OzTiVo again....

[mickyblue]

Ive got my Webepg kinda working again its is grabbing channels 9,10 and SBS for brisbane metro but it wont grab channel 7

is anyone else have this problem or someone maybe know a fix.

when i go to http://minnie.tuhs.org/tivo-bin/xmlguide.pl and login with my oztivo details i get my full epg as required with all channels

so im not really sure where to look next

Thanks in advance

[thechad]

Thanks Forgotten Illustrator, I was going to try and fix this tonight but you have saved me the trouble. Love your work.

Just remember that when you are editing these files manually that OzTivo and MP are case sensitive where the channel names are concerned. If you are missing a channel and cant work out why then this may be it.

[Forgotten Illustrator]

It was not tricky at all. I only edited a few lines

this wound be the first thing I wound have a look at if your not getting all your information.

E.g. SBS digital 2
was
<entry name="sbs2@sbs.com.au">SBSWN</entry>
needs to be
<entry name="sbs2@sbs.com.au">SBS-NEWS</entry>

<entry name="sbs2@sbs.com.au">xxx-yyy</entry>
xxx-yyy this is the information that you need to check in Oztivo XML to be the same.


The hardest thing about it all was trying to understand the “manual” in the grabber section of the MP folder. Mind you it didn’t help me very much.

[Krumlov11]

Just so everyone knows there is an issue with the Oztivo guide data and that is that it is hosted by one person and the increasing number of users of the guide is maxing out his outbound network traffic. To keep abreast of the issues you need to subscribe to the mailing list from here: http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/tvguide

General info on the guidedata is here: http://minnie.tuhs.org/twiki/bin/view/Guidedata/WebHome

To solve it he is talking about only sending out the data for what has changed since the last time it was downloaded. What is not known is how this affects the grabbing programs. Apparently MythTV is OK but MCE is not, I don't know what WebEPG will do. The hoster of the guide is going to talk to the MCE community via their forums to solve the issue with their MONSTER program. So anyway a heads-up to all if it begins to get flakey this is probably the reason.
