WegEPG Time issues. Fixed ? (2 Viewers)

jcee · March 19, 2006

Since a couple of weeks I have a strange problem.
The EPG data is ONE day ahead. E.g. the shows that are broadcasted today are shown on monday!

I can not figure out what is causing this. I run WebEPG as a task every night.
I looked into tvguide.xml and there the dates are already wrong.
So it must have to do something with WebEPG rather than with MP itself.

In WebEPG-Conf I cannot see any entry for offset or timezone correction. So what is wrong.

I live in germany and so I have to use tvinfo or tvtoday as a grabber. I think the problem occurs with of them.

And I checked the system time on my HTMP, it is correct..

I do not have a clue anymore..

Jcee,

Mine does the same thing and has done for a number of version now. Previous to RC3 I had to compensate -48hrs now with RC3 I need -24hrs the same as you.

Open Mediaportal Setup > Television > Program Guide

1 Tick "Use time zone information from XMLTV file"
2 Compensate time zone with -24.0 hours
3 Click "Update TV database with time zone compensation"

You should receive a dialogue box back saying update complete. Restart MP and check your guide. Hopefully all is OK now.

Thank you I will give it a try.. I should have found out myself..
I believe that this workaround will work.. but nevertheless.. strange...

i have a similar problem here in New Zealand where the last time i downloaded the tv guide from our local sources and imported that into media portal everything was fine, however i update to the latest cvs then ran another update last night and now my tv guide is out by 12 hours. i tried putting in -12 hours for the time compensation but that didnt seem to help.

any ideas ?

Hi guys,

I don't see this problem with Germany.

Although there were a few error in the config file (channel ID changes). So I fixed those. It would be good if someone could check all the channel ids for this site.

I've added a lot of extra logging for the time adjustments that WebEPG makes. So if you still have problems, then post a copy of your log to mp.pastebin.com and post a message with the link here.

Cheers,

Can you tell me what xml grabber you used to get the listings for NZ and how to configure it, at the mo im using XMLTVNZ which i downloaded from http://www.reven.co.nz/ - so im running that on my main computer then copying the output file to the HTPC

then i told MP to use XMLTV file rather then one of the options listed in the settings page,

and i managed to get the -12 hour timezone compensation to work - now i get the times to display correctly, but some of the C4 programmes dont display which is a bit of a bugger - so if the ones from the orcon site work i would prefer to use that....

thanks
Craig

Gday Craig,

I develop WebEPG which is included with MP. Instructions for configuring it can be found in the MP manual here: https://www.team-mediaportal.com/mpwiki/MediaPortalSetup_WebEPG

Let me know how you go.

i looked into the webepg and the orcon listings, but they dont include channel C4 so i think i will stick with XMLTVNZ which i managed to get working with C4

thanks anyways

Hi skippy,

I just checked this today. When I created this config file there use to be a lot more channels available. Not sure why they have been removed. Until now no one has said anything

I'll see what other sites are available for NZ guide data. Please continue this discussion here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?p=84856#84856

Is anyone still have time issues with WebEPG ?

My goal is that no offset should be required when importing the tvguide.xml file from WebEPG into MP.

If anyone has a problem. Please check the log/tvguide.xml files and see if the time is correct in those.

If posting, post a copy of your log to mp.pastebin.com and copy the link into your post here.
