How to add programmes to WebEPG (1 Viewer)

[Mike_S]

I love WebEPG! It gets 2 weeks worth of programme data every day and ... it just works - brilliantly!

The only cloud in an otherwise unblemished sky is the fact that I cannot add new programmes. I am quite prepared to admit that this is due to my lack of knowledge rather than any shortcomings in WebEPG.

Can anyone tell me, in simple words, how I can add new programmes from, say, RadioTimes.com and even how I can tell what programmes RadioTimes has available for EPG data download.

I'd be grateful for any guidance.

Hi Mike_S,

I am happy you like WebEPG and that it is working well for you

You can find a list of the channels supported by radiotimes here : http://xmltv.radiotimes.com/xmltv/channels.dat

Any missing channels need to be added to the 1-xmltv_radiotimes_com.xml file (located in the MediaPortal\WebEPG\grabbers\GB directory)

The number from the radiotimes site before the "|" is the siteId.

Example:

[B]92[/B]|BBC1  ->  <Channel id="bbc1@bbc.co.uk" siteId="[B]92[/B]" />

For information about the Channel id see here (at the bottom)

More details can be found under the above link.

Post any updates you make so we can add them for everyone else to benefit.

Cheers,

/James

Yep, seems a never ending update is needed for the UK atm, whether sat or freeview

Hi Mike_S

I think the version I posted here https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/epg-grabbers-tuningdetails-296/uk-radio-times-webepg-grabber-updated-49334/ is more up to date than the one included with MediaPortal 1.0.1. I am not sure if there any newer versions floating around.
