I hope the development team can do this so that you can expand on this for what I and I assume many others is a vital addon to Media Portal.

Can you tell me DJBlu does the TS file that you download via ProgDVB contain any tuning information for the channels in the EPG, if so would it be difficult to include an option in your OpenEPG to export this information to a XML file which can then be imported into the TV Channels in TV Server, so that the channels in Mediaportal can be automatically setup in the same order that they are in the Sky EPG?

The information for channel names and Service ID's is there however there aren't Audio PIDs or Video PIDs. Well not that I have seen yet.

Ok a bit of better news.

I have modified the TSWriter to spit out the data required for the parser.

I will be doing a few tests this week on it, then I should have a plugin for the TVServer.

Sounds great!
We don't need the Video & Audio PID's for channel tune btw as we always get these from the PMT.

So your saying if I leave these entries as -1 then when you tune to the channel they will update? what about the PCR?

 

[dman_lfc]

Same, from PMT

Good News then I suppose.

Saves searching for 1300+ channels.

I have a long night shift tonight so I'll see if I can sort something out.

 

[DJBlu]

I don't think this is possible as the PMT pid cannot be found in the information I am looking at.

 

[DJBlu]

I can improve the search speed for all the channels, however a scan on the PAT is still required on each transponder.

If you look at the SDT(other) pid 0x11 table id 0x46 on transponder 11778.00 V 28.2e.

This gives you all the service information except the PMT pid, however

Then a little search on each transponder to look at the PAT then you get the all important PMT pid's.

Should cut channel searching quite considerably as I beleive it is done like this at the moment

PAT, PMT, SDT. I may be wrong.

What do you think dman?

 

[DJBlu]

Just an update for you all,

I have begun to write a Console App for this task(Easier than writing a plugin) also this way you can use Shedule Tasks.

I have modified the TSWriter to dump the data into the TVServer directory. All you will need to do is place the OpenEPGtoXMLTV.exe in your TVServer directory and change the TSWriter.

The file will write a new XMLTV File into the directory, you will need to set up the XmlTV Plugin to "Import New TVGuide.xml"

Sound Simple? If not then please give me your input as I would like to know other peoples ideas.

I have a full day off tommorow to get this finished so please let me know as soon as possible.
