Custom Data Grabber including Sky UK Channel/EPG Grabber (7 Viewers)

No I don't modify anything in it however if there is a link to a function from the modified TVLibrary then it could fail.

And ... no I am not moving to Windows 8 soon so you'll have to wait if it doesn't work I'm afraid.

DJBlu is it possible to restrict the series link menu option to only the channel that the program is scheduled from? I ask because I have had an instance whereby I set family guy to record on BBC three on Sunday evenings (selecting the series link option to record the new series) but it seems to record every episode that is on, even on other channels. I understand that this is probably because of inaccurate or missing series data in the guide, but I thought if the series link option could be conditioned to only the channel that it was set on then it would help considerably with this type of situation.

Unless of course anyone knows of a reason why you would want to allow the series to be recorded regardless of what channel?

 

[DJBlu]

It shouldn't be recording any programs from other channels.

If you go into your scheduler and select Series. Then you can see what is set to record. Check you don't have the same program selected for 2 channels.

Hi DJBlu, I'm really looking forward to the logo integration.

May I ask if there are still plans to merge your brilliant patch into the main release? I seem to remember talk of it being included in 1.3.0

 

[DJBlu]

There is talk of it yes but it is still a way off yet.

What's the hold up? It works and makes MePo better. If it's politics can we help?

 

[DJBlu]

No it's not politics, there are other issues that are taking priority.

Hi,
Can anyone think why my scheduled grab of epg data is no longer happening? I've been using the plugin for some time with no problems. But about 3 weeks ago it stopped grabbing data automatically (about the same time that the BBC shuffled all of the channels around). A manual grab works fine but nothing I do seems to make the auto grab work. I've tried both the grab every few hours option and the grab at a specified time but no luck.

Thanks

Andy

Howdy guys,

I have found a way of getting channel logos, Sky UK only I am afraid.

I will be including this as a new feature in the upcoming release.

It will download and rename the logo automatically.

That is awesome news - it will make MePo feel so much more polished. I was just about to spend a few hours filling a few logo gaps, but I think I'll wait a bit longer now. [DOUBLEPOST=1351418215][/DOUBLEPOST]

@DJBlu does your plugin modify TvLibrary.Utils.dll? I was thinking of giving Windows 8 a whirl now that it is officially released, but need to use a modified version of that file.

I realise that DJBlu isn't supporting it just yet, but did you try this out? I built a new HTPC client this week so I went for Windows 8 to save the hassle of doing a reinstall/upgrade in the future. It would be really nice to get the plugin working.

I'm just busy finishing the Usals support at the minute so there will be a slight delay on the new Sky EPG grabber.
