Custom Data Grabber including Sky UK Channel/EPG Grabber (1 Viewer)

How do you delete EPG data? That is stored in SQL database?

If I don't delete, will it start adding the extra info in EPG grabs at the end of the current EPG data? i.e. 7 days from now...

If so, that's fine with me

Yes it will.

I'm not exactly sure where your going with the flags or how they are shown but I have noticed some descriptions already have [hd] etc in them?

also noticed[HD][AD,S].

BBC 1 HD seems to generally have flags on them.

The BBC do have these already but all the other channels don't.

The flags will be entered at the end of the summary, like the BBC has. The skin files now look for this data and show an icon instead which is pretty cool.
I'll upload it in a few minutes.
Just ironing out a new bleeding bug.

Thanks DJBlu! You need to follow the info at the bottom of this wiki page. TV Guide - MediaPortal Wiki

Where it says "You can get the HD icon to display using one of these methods..." it should say "You can get the HD icon to display by doing both of the following...".

Can you do a quick slightly more step by step explanation on how to do this to the default skin? I'm not exactly sure what the link is asking me to do!


Thanks

AW: Custom Data Grabber with Plugins

Hi,
just a question if this plugin is capable to develop a custom grabber for HbbTV data. This broadcast data seems to be the new coming standard and is about to replace teletext data. It is embedded in DVB broadcast stream.

I've been trying to troubleshoot some glitching with SAF 6, and whilst looking at the logs, the following was in the error.log file in tv server directory..

Not sure if it is important?

I have a feeling you may have broken the series link, the database doesnt seem to have any data in the seriesID or seriesTermination, I'l revert to an old plugin to check but it might not be tonight.

Actually I'm not sure whats going on it may just be me!

Funny you should say that...

I set all my series links up when I did the rebuild, and the first episodes were recorded. Then the wife complained that the next one wasn't recording and when I looked they were no longer present in scheduled recordings, nor highlighted red in the guide. I readded them, and it did the same thing - record once, then disappear from the schedule.

I've readded them all again yesterday so will check if it does the same again - I presumed that it was just me, since I was messing around with other stuff trying to fine tune MePo..

Since installing 1.2.0.6 I too have lost the series link option!!
