Custom Data Grabber including Sky UK Channel/EPG Grabber (8 Viewers)

[onetoomany]

Red button question:
Is it possible to record / watch red button stuff using this plugin? I've manually added these channels in the past, but they rapidly get moved to my Old Sky Channels section and they don't seem to get any EPG - occasionally, the plugin will detect the channels, but I guess only while a sporting event is on. I'm concious that in a few months time, a good chunk of the Olympics is likely to be broadcast on these channels, and it would be great if I could set my MP to record the sports I'm interested in while at work. Of course, the plan B is what the rest of London is doing, and "working from home" that week!

It would be great if:
a) these channels were stable in my channel listings, rather than coming and going
b) I could attach an EPG to them, but I suspect that there isn't one broadcast?

Red button support was on @DJBlu's to-do list..

I find that you can watch it on the channels that just have a number - bit hit and miss though, and you are right, very rarely is an EPG shown (now and next occasionally)

Just to add from the BBC website last week:
Delivering the digital Olympics: 24 live streams via the red button

It looks like they are re-platforming some of the red button stuff for this summer.

With the impending release of version 1.2.3 and then 1.3.0, is this excellent plugin now included in the main releases does anyone know?
I'm a bit of an update junkie and can't resist using the latest version, but can't live with a working epg for DVB-T and DVB-S.

kind regards.

As far as I'm aware DJBlu's mods aren't included but I don't know why, does any one know if the enhancements could have a negative impact for other users??

I believe tv server integration is #10 on the first posts to do list

Gonna be a long tine coming tho looking at the rest of the list

Well, MP1.2.3 is out and apparently has vastly improved TV Server speed and channel changes. How do we get the custom data grabber to work with the new version?

Wait.....

Alternatively download the tsreader manually from the area 51 forum. It is improved further then that of the 1.2.3 update if I'm not mistaken

ever the sucker for fixing things that aint broke I gave it a shot. Its definitely not as simple as copying over the new ts writer file and re registering the .ax file. This broke my system and made 1) TV server config not load up, 2) channel changes take 15 seconds with 3) TV stuttering and all. Something isnt playing nice with the experimental GIT branch as worked on by DJBlu and Icam2. And I suspect we'll only see this working properly with a proper 1.2.3 install.

We wait and hope

Uploaded setup files for 1.2.3

You can install these over your 1.2.2 installations.

If you wish to use the TBS tuning then you are going to have to merge and build yourselves. I have pushed the changes to git so you can do this.
