[QUOTE="Benoire, post: 957488, member: 121281"] Hi DJBlu, I'm trying to develop a plugin to access Sky New Zealand's EPG and LCN distribution but I have some questions if I may. When I use the UK or IT plugin or even the Foxtel version the EPG has the following data in front of the Program Title [xx] with xx being two numerical values i.e. [08]The Mentalist, however the description section comes up fine. As far as I can tell the Huffman tables are the same as the UK dictionary so I presume this could be that Sky NZ transmit additional bytes that need to be ignored as part of the title descriptor? Secondly, the LCN displays 10000 for each channel which I believe is when the LCN is not within the range MP is set to work with, is there anyway to make the custom grabber display these correctly and therefore sort or would it require changes to the LCN handling within TS Writer itself? mm1352000 knows about this (being from NZ) but I believe it is way down on the list of fixings to be included in TVE3. From what I can tell your plugin's work 'fine' except for LCN issues (possibly MP related rather than your code), EPG extra information and the default transponder information. What would be fantastic would be either for you to quickly update one of your plugins with NZ specific information, or perhaps the source code for one of the plugins themselves so I can play around with it (appreciate it that your busy). If not, I guess I will just plod on with trying to develop something myself. Anyway, what ever you decide it's awesome to see such work being done... It's amazing how much functionality devs like yourself have put in to MP and long may it continue! Cheers, Chris (From NZ!) [/QUOTE]
