Schedules Direct US/Canadian/Mexico EPG Plugin (Updated August 2010) (2 Viewers)

I think you may need to disable the Web EPG plugin at the TV-Server config for SchedulesDirect to work... I know I have it that way and someone else said it was keeping his from working right

So I am at a loss here. When looking at the lineup after logging into SD, everything is there and looks correct. Also, channel 41 is seen as Discovery when logged in to SD, but when looking at the EPG data, it is some Spanish channel. All the other EPG data seems to be correct. Any ideas? I have attached the Tv.log file for reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Herbie

Herbie, would this be something to contact the SD guys directly? I wonder if they have a support contact on their site.

Patrick,

I have been using your Schedules Direct plugin v1.1a successfully. However, when I upgraded to the latest SVN build (MediaPortal SVN-Snapshot:-01-23-2009 22-00.rar), it complained about an incompatibility in the Gentle.Framework. I saw that other have had the same problem and the solution has been to make sure that there was a clean install.

Is it possible that the latest SVN build is introducing some incompatible changes wrt this plugin?

Has anybody else been able to make the latest SVN build work with plugin v1.1a?

Update: it looks like the problem has been reported already in another forum: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...374654/?highlight=Gentle.Framework#post374654

Thanks,
Sridhar

Hi all...I am looking at seeing if SD plugin gets season and episode numbers?

I installed on MP 1.0 with TV Server and it gets all the EPG data (although I did not set up some channels and those failed understandably).

My issue is mostl likely user error. I am looking to attach Episode and Series name to the file name via TVServer-Config Recording Settings section (Custom Paths and Filenames)...does SD do this?

I did have recordings run and the fields show as null

Thanks!

Solas

EDIT: I think I found the answer here...I guess I will go back to my webEPG since I dont have to pay for a subscription. It is a good Plugin though and kudos to those involved!!

Plugin Broken

It seems like versions after 1.0.0.0 are breaking the EPG, see attached image of the error I keep getting. This only happens when I update the 1.0 release with a newer SVN

Is there a way to edit what channels show up in the TV guide? I am using this plugin and some of the channels show up 2-4 times in the guide. I have all the channels that are the same combined.

How do you edit the TV guide?

Patrick,
First off, thank you for this wonderful plugin. Without it we would be jumping through a lot of hoops to get EPG data in MP.

Will there be a new build for the upcoming 1.0.1 release? As mizzourob pointed out, the new SVN's seem to be having an issue with the 1.1a version.

Thanks again!

Vindi,
You can edit all your channels directly on the Schedules Direct web site. Just edit your listing and remove any channels you dont want. Be sure to save your settings (the button at the bottom of the page.)

I only have the ones I want selected in their web site. For some reason my locals show up 4 seperate times. There is no other way to edit the TV guide? what is causeing these to show up 4 times?

Do you have the channels listed four times in the tv config? I know you can scan with each tuner. I have dual tuners and I did a scan with each one and so the channels are listed twice in the guide, because I can tune each one seperately.

Most people are saying the plugin has stopped working properly with the latest SVN's. Probably so, but I want to also offer this information:
I installed 1.0.0.0 after it was released in December and have been using the SD plugin with it. I have NOT updated MP at all, no SVN, nothing. Now, the SD plugin when forced to do an update through the TV server console, will go download about 100KB worth of something, and then stop. No guide data in the program table of the database.
