[QUOTE="arion_p, post: 680692, member: 45945"] Sorry, another user mentioned WebEPG and I didn't realize you are using plain xmltv. But still this is possible. It is possible in both 1.0.2 and 1.1.0, but it works better since 1.1.0. Let me explain: In xmltv import plugin there is an option "Delete old programs before import". If this option is not selected only programs not already in the database will be imported. This may be an issue if the schedule changes for some reason. For example say yesterday you grabbed an xmltv file that says that House M.D. Season 7, Episode 5 plays tomorrow at 19:00. This file was imported yesterday and today you grab a new xmltv file that says tomorrow at 19:00 instead of House M.D., there is a football match. In this case if you import that file today, the above change will be ignored. To avoid this, when you select the option "Delete old programs before import", xmltv import plugin in 1.0.2. will delete all programs in the database (including those grabbed through DVB-C) before each import. v1.1.0 improves on that by only deleting the programs that would be overwritten by the new import (so DVB-C grabbed info is not deleted). In 1.0.2 you need to keep this option unchecked and live with the consequences. In 1.1.0 you can check this option and enjoy the benefits of both worlds :). With DVB-C, depending on the options you select, grabbing can occur at several times: [LIST=1] [*]If you enable idle grabber, when the tv-card is idle, tvserver will tune to each transponder in sequence and grab EPG [*]if you enable timeshift grabber, tvserver will also grab EPG or the channel you are watching while you are watching. [*]If you enable powerscheduler and set a schedule to wake up to grab EPG, tvserver will wake up at configured times and tune to each transponder in sequence, grab EPG and then go back to sleep.
