A few random EPG/XMLTV questions :)

revs · 2008-01-22, 22:38

A few of questions n the XMLTV plugin:

1. Now that it has replaced XMLTV2, does it have the same feature where it only deletes the entry for a single channel before importing? (as opposed to deleting the whole DB!). This way if only one channel is in the tvguide.xml, then that gets updated and every other channel is not cleared out. (i know this was in xmltv2).

2. How can I get the latest SVN of the plugin without installing tv3 svns?

3. is it possible to have Over-the-air EPG and XMLTV to work in harmony?
i.e. xmltv populates the tv guide, over-the-air then overrides that with newer data if available (as over the air will most likely be more up to date).

4. If I import a tvguide, and then a second, if the first isnt deleted (using the delete option) will the 2nd overwrite the 1st? i.e. if i get 14 days of tv guide each day, does each file update the DB and replace any changes from the last?

thanks
