Tools and other software EPG-Buddy a new EPG Tool with easy usage. (4 Viewers)

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?
