EPG Downloader Service for TV Server ONLY (4 Viewers)

[umlaut]

Could anybody tell me if and how I can get the EPG downloader service to grabb from dagenstv.com ??

I have success with i to grab from swedb but I would like to try dagenstv.com because I think they are better at displaying season and episode numbers which is important to me.

EPG Download Manager and MP 1.1 Alpha

Hi

Is anyone using the latest version of this great tool (0.0.0.12 Beta) with MP 1.1 Alpha?

After upgrading from MP 1.02 I noted that the server is not adding the programs to the MP database.

I reinstalled MP 1.02 with a new database and the download manager was working again.

Not sure if changes in MP 1.1 Alpha have broken the EPG download manager or if I have a problem in my installation.

Hence the question...

It seems that the two new fields were added to the 'program' table that keeps EPG data, and these two fields cannot be empty. DM does not know about these fields and the database server rejects insert commands. A temporary workaround is to edit the MP database schema for table 'program' and remove 'not null' requirement from two last fields (episodeName and episodePart). Not sure if it breaks something else

Thanks

I switched to using the XMLTV plugin but miss the ability to fill gaps in a HD EPG from SD EPG.

I've spent a good 3 hours trying to get this app working. I've done a completely clean install of MP1.1Beta and took all defaults, so I don't know what db engine it's using or what the username/password is. Before that I did a complete/full deinstall. I removed MYSQL and/or MSSQL, and deleted all directories mentioning any of these from Programdata, User, and Program Files. I then rebooted back into Vista as Administrator.

I've used all defaults when installing MP1.1Beta, so I assume that any app that accesses MediaPortal databases would also default to those same username/pw's... hopefully.... and not require the user to know what type of database engine it's using.

Anyway, I tried running this app but can't work out what database name, username, password, and dbengine to use. I tried every combo mentioned in all 19 pages of this thread, including
MSSQL 2005 Express: user: sa pw: MediaPortal
MySQL Database: user sa pw: MediaPortal

For Server Name, I tried the machine I'm running it on (ie. THIS machine), and localhost.

For database name, I tried TVLibrary, MpTvDbRC2, and MpTvDB.

Anyway, long story short, I'd like to declare that this application is dead, because:
- the thread is very old and hasn't been updated by the author in several months, and
- it doesn't work on the latest MediaPortal 1.1 (Beta).

Happy for someone to correct me!

Incidentally, the sort of errors I get are:

[AnyDAC][Phys][ODBC][Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
and
[AnyDAC][Phys][MySQL]-314. Cannot load vendor library [libmysql.dll].
The specified module could not be found.
Check [[libmysql.dll] is located in one of the PATH directories or in application EXE directory

(it is there, by the way.)

I tried installing and running MySQL Administrator, but I can only get past the initial login prompt using username 'sa' and no password. But then the app crashes when I go to User Administration. And it only shows 2 catalogs: information_schema and test. So I don't think there are any MediaPortal databases in MySQL. And I don't have MSSQL installed. So it's a complete mystery.

And after 3 hours, not worth pursuing!

mmm, I thought he was working with the developers to integrate it into the next release.

Since this app is no longer maintained(?) and broken by changes to the database from MP 1.1 Alpha I have posted a feature request for the TV server XMLTV plugin for the EPG gap filling functionality onto the request forum

Sorry for my long absence...

Hi All,

I have re-launched the EPG downloader.

Please see the new thread.

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/xmltv-137/re-launch-mp-epg-downloader-70198/#post506625

The program now includes a database mapping facility to get around the issue of new fields being added to the program table, and to allow you to customise your epg data.
