Custom Data Grabber including Sky UK Channel/EPG Grabber (2 Viewers)

[Jasmeet_181]

@chr0non You could downgrade just the Sky UK Channel and EPG Grabber to a pre-1.4.0.6 version (I'm using 1.4.0.3) so that both sets of tuners are detected, until there's a fix. You'll probably have to drop the database though.

Once upon a time, I used to run 3 x TBS6981 cards with your plugin and it worked fine? Maybe something has changed!

Yes, it only became a problem in Sky UK Grabber 1.4.0.6 I think. Presumably it's also only a problem if your tuners all have the same name, which isn't always the case.

Right now I have my BGT3600 and BGT3630 plugged in and all three DVB-S2 tuners have the same name.

Is it possible to have the same feature as sky + boxes have. Where the box automatically adds padding based on the time a program starts and ends. If it's a sports even for example and it's delaying other programs the existing data is overridden by fresh data carried by the N&N system so you get the two minutes then any miss-timing of the broadcaster themselves.

In sky + settings you have options for add to start and end like you do in mp but also the auto setting behaves as above.

Thank you.

[TheBatfink]

Is anyone using this with encyrpted channels ignored and finding ITV1 HD and Channel 5 HD are missing? I'm doing freesat from sky and it says it should be viewable?

I'm also curious how this is integrating with the new powerscheduler in MP1.5. If I set a specific time each day to grab data, does it wake the system to grab when its enabled in PS? Just I'm noticing lots of gaps in my guide?

 

[psykix]

Channel 5 HD is encrypted - requires a card.

ITV 1 HD is now ITV HD and works fine.

 

[TheBatfink]

Well in my All Channels list in the config tool, I have ITV HD which is unencrypted, but the grabber isn't adding it to either the Entertainment or HD Channels guide bouquet in MP automatically?

Also I am missing guide information even after re-scanning (and it saying it performed successfully). Notable channels are Channel 4 HD, NHK World HD, 4seven, CBS Drama, Pick, BBC Three, Channel 4+1, ITV to name just a few..

EDIT: Your right 5HD is available on freesat from sky but its still encrypted, bummer. Still ITV HD works fine when I preview it but the grabber isn't adding it to the guide?

 

[psykix]

Hmm.. The grabber adds it to entertainment for me. Maybe it is a region issue (I'm North West). You could just add it manually.

 

[TheBatfink]

Kind of defeats the object though I'll try a different region I guess then - didn't realise ITVHD was region specific.

Any idea why I have loads of missing information in my guide?

Thanks!

EDIT: So I moved the region and it came back in the guide.. that doesn't seem right to me at all. Certain regions don't have ITV HD??

Also I noted when I did the scan, it was saying things like Channel 4+1 is not in this region, moving to all channels, but it's still in my entertainment list (albiet with no program listings).

That also leads me to something else. How do I get an All Channels bouquet without all the junk channels in there, i.e. just all the channels in the various groups of my guide but in a single bouquet - is this possible with the grabber (without having to maintain it manually)?

 

[psykix]

I dunno.. ITV HD is definitely region specific (just the same as ITV 1 HD was before the rename)

Maybe @DJBlu can shed some light on it

Just for the record, all the channels you mention having problems with are fine on my EPG...

One other thing.. There are multiple Channel 4+1 channels. I always pick the first one and disable all the others. I also disable all SD versions if there is an HD version available.
