[QUOTE="pbb, post: 111840, member: 26308"] Hi, This may have been discussed here before, but I couldn't find it... I am wondering why WebEPG uses cryptic codes for countries and channel names? As a test, I renamed the [I]WebEPG\Grabbers\NO[/I] directory to [I]Norway[/I], and changed the [I]<section name="NO">[/I] text into [I]<section name="Norway">[/I] in [I]WebEPG\Channels\channels.xml[/I]. I also changed some ChannelID's in both [I]WebEPG\Channels\channels.xml[/I] and the [I]WebEPG\Grabbers\Norway\(provider).xml[/I] files. The result? Nice and readable labels in the WebEPG-config program, and no problems. Is there any reason for the use of cryptic labels? My guess is they the xml files have been converted from another system (xmlTV?) where they had to be cryptic. If so, it would not be much work to convert those to more readable labels when converting them for WebEPG usage?
