New Configuration progam + file format (1 Viewer)

[Furetto]

@Furetto, You can create a merged channel. See on the right side in the mapping details section there are tabs "single" or "multiple / merged". Select multiple and then you can add more than one guide to a channel and put times for which guide should be used.

This is what I did at first. My issue is that the times are not always clearly defines, as one of them is a sports channel that has irregular hours.

For a case like this, when you know for a fact that there cannot be any overlap in their broadcast but with vayring time-schedules, is it possible to have a solution different than duplicating the channel and thus having two separate entries.

Hi James, sorry to ask but when might the TV Server import feature be implemented, its very time consuming manually entering 300+ channels

Kind regards,
Kev.

This is what I did.
Before installing the TVPlugin, scan your channels in MP TVE2 Configuration. You won't be able to tune them later and you'll have to rescan in TVE3 Setup but they will be importable from WebEPG-conf

What do we add for the authentication code that we used to have in the older file format like the following:

<section name="AuthSites"> <entry name="Count">1</entry> </section> <section name="Auth1"> <entry name="Site">SITEADDRESS_HERE</entry> <entry name="Login">LOGIN_HERE</entry> <entry name="Password">PASSWORD_HERE</entry> </section>

I couldn't find anything anywhere (even the wiki) other then you mentioning the config program wont put it in but it won't remove it either.

The config program should convert the old format into the new format.

Here is the code to use:

  <Authentication>
    <Site id="" username="" password ="" />
    <Site id="" username="" password ="" />
    ...
  </Authentication>

minor problem with merged channels

Hi James,

I have a small issue, not sure if it is due to WebEPG or due to WebEPG-conf, but:

I have created 2 merged channels:

1) Ketnet & Canvas:

<Channel displayName="Ketnet - Canvas">
<merged>
<merged id="ketnet.be" grabber="BE\www_teveblad_be.xml" start="06:30" end="08:54" />
<merged id="canvas.be" grabber="BE\www_teveblad_be.xml" start="08:55" end="11:59" />
<merged id="ketnet.be" grabber="BE\www_teveblad_be.xml" start="12:00" end="19:59" />
<merged id="canvas.be" grabber="BE\www_teveblad_be.xml" start="20:00" end="05:59" />
</merged>
</Channel>

2) TCM & Cartoon:

<Channel displayName="Cartoon - TCM">
<merged>
<merged id="turnerclassicmovies.com" grabber="NL\1-www_tvgids_nl.xml" start="21:00" end="06:00" />
<merged id="cartoonnetwork.nl" grabber="NL\1-www_tvgids_nl.xml" start="06:00" end="21:00" />
</merged>
</Channel>


And these almost work...
The programs right at the switchpoints are consistently missing in the "TVguide.xml" file.

For example, today (Nov 29th) on Canvas there was : "20.00 20.50 TerZake"; next there was "20.50 21.40 Rare Streken"

The "TerZake" did not make it in the TVguide.xml file, but "Rare streken" did. This happens consistently on every edge for both my merged channels.


Is there anything I am doing wrong ?

I wonder if I should try to :

<Channel displayName="Ketnet - Canvas">
<merged>
<merged id="ketnet.be" grabber="BE\www_teveblad_be.xml" start="06:29" end="08:56" />
<merged id="canvas.be" grabber="BE\www_teveblad_be.xml" start="08:54" end="12:01" />
<merged id="ketnet.be" grabber="BE\www_teveblad_be.xml" start="11:59" end="20:01" />
<merged id="canvas.be" grabber="BE\www_teveblad_be.xml" start="19:59" end="06:01" />
</merged>
</Channel>

that is: make the switchpoints overlap with a minimal amount ?

Thanks,
Johan.
