Getting gFeed (Norwegian EPG) working with MediaPortal (1 Viewer)

[Spragleknas]

Ok, getting a bit tired of SOL-grabbing which constantly changes their site, so I'm hoping for some help and input as to how to get gFeed to MP.

gFeed can be found here:
Index of /xmltv - alt. http://epg.mspc.no/xmltv/00index.html

A XML file is wrapped in .gz

According to this thread I firstly need a script to DL and unpack the .gz

After that, seems that that following this thread should lead to success: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...e-67/xmltv-file-compatible-mediaportal-97222/

So... Any takers?

A typical XML is attached.

Any preference as to the script language? Also, you'd have to aggregate the XMLTV files somehow - either by having the script combine them or putting the names in the tvguide.lst file I guess...

The XMLTV-grabber tv_grab_no_gfeed does all this autmatically and outputs a normal uncompressed xmltv-file with all channels concatenated.

Cool!
Sadly I just read that you're shutting it down, so guess this dies here....

You could even do a simple batch file (no need for any other scripting language.

Use WGet to download the gz in a temp location,
clear a temp folder where you will put the gz contents,
use any command line unzipper (7zip, gzip etc) to unzip contents to the temp folder, do a

dir /b /s tempfolder > tvguide.lst

You are done.
