Is there a way to use the epg from the WebUi. I come from germany and there is no more free xmltv grabber for us as far as i know. But in the epg on the webui there is a lot of information on some channels that i dont see on my Nokia. How can i get (use) the webui epg with piiptv and my mobile ?

I think i found out whats wrong .. Should have read a little bit more here. It looks like something audball had. I did not recognize it, because the Live stream was still here from old version, but did not work all the time. Now i made a hardreset and then i saw that i too only get the 2 files installed. The LIVE one is missing. I've tested the download you made for audball, but this one did not work for me. Hope i did not miss something.....

Here is my PiipTvServices.vcfg ..

edit: Forgot to tell that i have a N96 with the latest firmware

optx,

Your provisioning file looks ok, so no problem in server side. I suspect that problem is in N96, could it be so that once it has DVB-H it not then supporting IPTV?

You can ensure that server side is working fine if you could try with some other phone, i strongly suspect that now problem is in N96....

one thing you could try with N96, that take one streaming url from web UI like rtsp://yourserver:8554/ptv_channelname.sdp and copy that to new txt file and then rename it to channell1.ram and copy that file to phone, and try to open it with real one player?

If this works, you can create this kind of shortcuts for every channell...

I copyed the xml file with all the streams and put them with copy n paste into realplayer. Works fine but now i cant use the epg anymore :(
how could that happen now?With the N96 i was watching piiptv for allmost 1 year with no problems... What should be saved to where that piiptv live shows up ? On my N95 piiptv runs,but i did not update the file on the mobile. Maby i can copy the files to the N96...

optx,

Can you use EPG with browser?
If browser = webui then yes. As i told, on my N95 there is still the PiipTvServices.vcfg from the first time i installed it. I dont want to try if it works there with the new .vcfg in case it doesnt :D And there everything is perfect. EPG runs, and the reminder when a program starts that i want works too. I thought there is something wrong with my N96 (what realy looks like it is) and made a Hard reset. Since the Piip Live is gone, there is no chance to get it back. The only thing i have in mind is to find the stuff on my N95 to copy that to the N96 to see if it works.

Nice to hear that you maby have something that could work ^^

Keep up that good work :D

optx,

N95 works fine, that i have seen, no problem in that sence :)

Have you updated resently your N96 firmware? might that be root cause of the problem?

I can't get N96 working similarly that N95 is working, but some workaround anyway...

Good to hear that the N95 still works ^^

Yes, i updated my N96 5 Days ago .. What do you mean with 'root cause of the problem' ? That somehow the installation has no rights to put the files where they should go to ? Had such problems with an other software. There was one file that would not install itself to the place where it sould be. Danm N96 :)
Can you tell me what files there are created to show up the PiipLive ? As i told i want to try to find the files and copy them from the N95 to the N96 and see what happens...

OPTX,

Ok, here is summary how i see what has happened :)

N96 with old firmware worked well about 1 year as you said :) then you updated phone firmware to latest version and it stopped working.

1) nokia has bug there
or
2) nokia has somehow disabled this live IPTV option since vod download and vod streaming is still working

I think there is no option or any files that you can get N96 working as it was before. Of course if you contact Nokia customer care and ask them to fix issue?!?!?! But you cannot copy any files from N95->N96 to get this working.

I have workaround for this so that i can generate automatically third video feed with liveTV streaming urls, and then use "open link in browser" option so that EPG can be seen via web page (opened directly from video center). But that nice Video center EPG view & alerts i cannot get back to N96. :(

I hope that some one can proof that i'am wrong and get N96 working with latest firmware :)

OPTX, can you contact nokia customer care and ask it they have modified latest firmware somehow in this area?

I contacted Nokia Customer Care but i dont know what i should think about it (them). I told them that i have a .vcfg file that normaly makes 3 different files on my phone and made that before the update on my N96 too. First answer : Take out your Battery and your Sim, wait 2 minutes and put it back in and see if it works.If that doesnt help, use the code we have here for you to format your phone memory.....
I did so (again) and results are the same, my phone memory still is the old one. All the progs. i have set by my own are still here and the last email i got was here to so looks like nothing happend. I told them the resutls and the next answer was : Make a phone update. (This would be the 3. update with the new firmware) Gonna tell them tomorrow that this did not help too. I hope that what i found will help me to erase the 'brain' of my N96. There is a way to update the phone without the Nokia Software. I will test this tomorrow and report what happend .
