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

I no longer use this plugin (or Mediaportal for that matter) but would like to say thanks to @DJBlu for taking the time out to update it for you guys. I still keep up to date on the thread, as it's interesting to see how things are progressing

Just out of interest, what do you use now then?

I use a Youview box for live TV (well 2 boxes actually) and I use Mediabrowser 3 server and Mediabrowser Theater client along with 4 Roku boxes all running Mediabrowser channel. It's a nice setup for me and it works well for the kids

I've got the ITVHD thing sorted, was just the wrong region selected. But it will not populate the channel groups correctly. Most are empty or barely populated. All the channels are automatically selected and in the 'All Channels' group, they just aren't being moved into Entertainment, Music, Lifestyle etc. Am I the only person experiencing this?

Thanks!

Grouping seems fine to me

Scheduled grabbing isn't working for me though - can others confirm if it's the same for them?
Will manually update the epg (just have to remember to do so )

The system does wake from sleep, just doesn't grab

It works if I set it to "every 24 hours" but if I specify a time to grab each day it doesn't work. This was the case with 1.5.0 too.

Ah good to know, do you know if it grabs ok if someone is watching tv at the same time?

I had exactly this problem with the latest version of the grabber even with 1.4, and reverted to an older version to solve it. I'd hoped that the latest version of MePo together with the latest grabber would have solved this ... ah well.

On latest version for MP 1.6 I get 7 to 10 seconds for channel change when the throttling option is ticked. 1 to 2 seconds when unticked as normal. So I just turn it off.

Also when I tick the option to download logo's the grab behaves as it were unticked. In other words makes no difference. I backed up my logo's so I just put them back in the thumbs/tv folder.

I ended up deleting the TV database and it grouped all the channels fine after that. Very strange.

As far as downloading epg info. I have mine with all seven days individually tjcked and 17.30 selected (when I know the machine will be on) and I haven't ran out of epg data yet.
In previous versions I was convinced it didn't wake the machine to grab as I would run out of data regular when it was set to 1am. Haven't even tried to see if it works now because whenever I mentioned it before I never got a response.

Hi guys...

As I'm running this custom version, I suppose I better ask here...

Does anyone have an issue with the sound being muted when coming out of awaymode?

It was working fine in 1.5, but in 1.6 its muted

@michael_t - Have you heard of any issues in the generic 1.6 version??
