[QUOTE="funperro, post: 344188, member: 83144"] I posted this in another thread, but think it may be better suited to its own thread: I'm using Media Portal RC4 and my video/audio stream is coming from the dvbsbridge plugin for dvb dream. I've not had alot of luck with the xmltv EPG exporter with the dvbsbridge plugin (incomplete data), but I do get nice results using another plugin - mfury's network streamer for dvbdream/sage. Mfury's plugin exports an xmltv file that Media Portal's xmltv plugin can easily import. Presently, the xmltv importer is working great for me (all channels displayed in the guide are completely filled... there is no missing data) except for one detail: I have several channels that have the same name, but with unique channel numbers (see below example with two channels named HDPPV). I have about 15 channels labeled HDPPV and about 10 NBAHD channels that I'd like to include in the EPG. Whenever xmltv sees my tvguide.xml file, it decides to lump all of these into one channel. I therefore see only one entry for each of these channel 'groups' (i.e. 1 channel for HDPPV and 1 channel for NBAHD). There must be some other folks here that also use multiple PPV channels. How can I get around this? - <channel id="DVBDreamBridge.HDPPV.547"> <display-name>HDPPV</display-name> <display-name>547</display-name> </channel> - <channel id="DVBDreamBridge.HDPPV.548"> <display-name>HDPPV</display-name> <display-name>548</display-name> </channel> One solution may be to somehow modify my xmltv file everytime I grab the guide. That would be incredibly cumbersome as I'd have to modify many many entries.. and not only in the channels section, but also in content section where the programs appear. This modification would need to occur every single time the guide data is imported into Media Portal. Any ideas on how to automate this? Or better yet, how can I get an xml file that doesn't have these problematic entries (same names) in the first place? Thanks [/QUOTE]
