XMLTV reWriter (3 Viewers)

Forgot to say: yes I think it would be wise to simplify the config files because it was a turn off at the first trial (too long and too complicated for a first time user).

already did that, but just to be clear, the files CHANNELKEEP,CHANNELREMOVE, CHANNELCOPY and CHANNELRENAME are all optional, so it is not necessary to define the channels that you want to keep, if CHANNELKEEP isn't there then all channels will be kept, you just feed our XMLTV importer more data that way.



EDIT:

I added an new feature for you, that will simplify setup, you can now give a filename location wich will after running xmltv rewriter produce a list of all available channels in the combined files. Now you just have to delete the ones that you don't want from that file and copy the remaining to your CHANNELKEEP and perhaps CHANNELRENAME

Thank you for your help. After setting up the channelkeep list for both providers (I deleted those i don't need as you suggested) I could successfully load EPG data in DVBViewer. Now I need to pair channels to match DVBviewer channel names. It would be a lot easier if everybody was using the exact channel names from the satellite... I also need to combine those 2 grabs and add a few missing channels from mc2xml so there is still a lot of work to do.

Wich channels are missing that are in mc2xml?

 

[alphadog]

I will do that tonigh but I've seen several polish channels from Cyfra+ missing. I have to sort it all out after pairing ;-)

I 've missed something ... What do you put in the config3 file to join the 2 xml produced by config1 and config 2? If there is the same channels in both files, will the 2 replace the 1?
Sorry to be annoying

you should setup 2 times LOCAL

you should make sure that there arent double id's, it also doesnt make sense to combine the same thing

Hello, I had a lot of double and triple IDs for the same channel so I had to go through all that, see which one is the correct one and elliminate the others. The big issue is to know in which gz file is located the channel i want to keep so I dont download gz files for nothing.

Well now I think I got it correct, they are all paired to my dvbviewer channels. Only a few missing: in Cyfra+ I miss TVP info and Discovery ID.

Now I would like to run it as a scheduled task every night but it refuses to start Any tip on that?

 

[D4bFz3awSRYHKjr3]

I added a new feature, concerning double id's, that would probaly help you. I think you speak french? Have a look at
Programme TV (Site de téléchargement des programmes XMLTV pour ZGuideTV, MediaPortal et autres EPG) for your missing channels

It should run with a scheduled task, but you also need to define in your task, the 'START IN/RUN FROM' folder, this is the folder path where the exe is located, because if you don't do that XMLTV reWriter doesn't know where it is and it can't load its config files.

Great, it works, thanks. If you need further testing and n00b questions, ask me ;-)
