Tools and other software EPG-Buddy a new EPG Tool with easy usage. (7 Viewers)

[Mainhattan Olli]

Just a small update: I haven´t made any changes in EPG Buddy or EPG xml import in MP 2.5, but now all stations with DVB-T2 are working well with EPG Buddy.
Thanks you Lehmden for this great tool and your support!

Hi.

If the JSON format is the only issue, there are many JSON to XML converter. Lots of them are free to use and/or Open Source. It should be no big deal to convert the JSON file into XML format.

For many European countries you best can use Easy-EPG Lite, a python tool to provide a really good EPG in xmltv format. The tool is platform independent and is running on any systems (including Windows) with installed Python 3.x. It offers a rich EPG for DACH Countries and also for UK, France, Italy and some others. Aside this it's free and really fast, faster than EPG-Buddy. To be honest. for a few year I've used Easy-EPG myself as external XML Source in EPG-Buddy, not the in-build TVSpielfilm. But since my DVB-S hardware no longer is working (a tree has grown between the DVB-S antenna and the satellite) I only use Waipu TV wich has a full blown EPG included. So no need for any external EPG any longer.

The regular version of Easy-EPG provides a Web-GUI at http://localhost:4000 and delivers a standard XMLTV file that can be used in every known TV Server solution, I'm aware off. There also is a special Kodi Addon version of Easy-EPG. But this only makes sense if you are using Kodi's own IPTV Simple TV Solution. For TVHeadend, DVB-Viewer, TVMosaic, NextPVR and of course MediaPortal TV Server you can use the regular WEB-GUI version...

This could work for me but only if you can use any epg source. Or you are forced to use Gracenote?

Since friday 02.05.2025 grabbing of EPG by TV Spielfilm does´t work anymore. Any ideas to the following error:

I have the same error on two servers.

According a look in the eventviewer the issue might be .net:

Der TV-Spielfim-API-Server ist (derzeit) nicht mehr erreichbar.
Statt "live.tvspielfilm.de/static/" sollte "tvs3.cellular.de/" funktionieren.

[RELEASE] Takealug EPG Grabber - Kodinerds

Hallo Zusammen :) Nicht wundern, ich hab meinen EPG Thread umbenannt. Ab sofort steht im Kodinerds Repository ein Kodi Service-Addon zu Verfügung mit dem es möglich ist von verschiedenen Providern ein EPG im XMLTV Format (guide.xml) zu erstellen.…

schau dir mal diese aenderung an:

TVScraper runs in the background and collects metadata (posters, banners, fanart, actor thumbs and roles, descriptions) for all available EPG events on selectable channels and for recordings - example · MarkusEh/vdr-plugin-tvscraper@395027e

Welches EPG tool und Quelle funktioniert denn aktuell - 14.5.2025 - für Deutschland?

EPG Buddy mit TV Spielfilm funktioniert ja leider aktuell nicht mehr, Webgrabber braucht mittlerweile eine Lizenz, EPG Centre funktioniert bei mir auch nicht wirklich...

Was ist die Lösung für das aktuelle Problem? (15 Jahre Mediaportal und plötzlich keine EPG daten ohne studenlanges basteln....
