[QUOTE="vuego, post: 498600, member: 23741"] The new version of WebEPG that comes with MP 1.1.0a has the option to Auto Map channels to WebEPG sources. Most Swedish grabbers are old and outdated and may now be unintentionally used by auto mapping. This is why I wish to clean up so that the user just have to press Auto Map, Grab and then be done :) The following grabbers are currently delivered by MP: [LIST] [*]tvguide_boxer_se.xml [*]www_comhem_se.xml [*]www_dagenstv_com.xml [*]www_omtv_se.xml [*]www_tv-tabla_com.xml [/LIST] They all have different problems. www_omtv_se.xml, www_tv-tabla_com.xml and tvguide_boxer_se.xml should all be removed since the sites doesn't have information about programs stop time. This means that the last show of every night will be several hours long. Not so good if you've set it to record :o www_comhem_se.xml doesn't grab stop times either but the information is available at the site. www_dagenstv_com.xml is the most complete grabber. It grabs stop times and has 176 channels (only missing one from tvguide_boxer_se and three from www_comhem_se so we might want to keep just those channels). All sites miss information about which programs on SVT HD are really broadcast in HD, and Bobster/Bolibompa "blocks" from SVT2 and SVTB (like 05:30-07:00 Bolibompa, 05:30-05:50 Franklin). This is why I've created a new grabber for svt.se which is the only site I'm aware of that has this information. I also removed those channels from www_dagenstv_com.xml to force the correct Auto Map. The other problem is the grabbers channel IDs. They all use some cleaver name@site system which I think should link to C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\WebEPG\channels\channels.xml somehow. I'm not sure if it's used for anything. I think that with the Auto Map feature we won't need channels.xml and should put the real channel names in the channel ID field...? This is what I've done, for example: [CODE] <Channel id="tv7@aftonbladet.se" siteId="248" /> <Channel id="comedy@canalplus.se" siteId="298" /> <Channel id="sport@tv4.se" siteId="275" /> [/CODE] Changed to: [CODE] <Channel id="TV7" siteId="248" /> <Channel id="Canal+ Comedy" siteId="298" /> <Channel id="TV4 Sport" siteId="275" /> [/CODE] Using channel names from the web site. This way the Auto Map feature works very well. Just a couple of strange maps like TV3 gets mapped to MTV3 even when there's a TV3 available :S What do you think? [/QUOTE]
