EPG for US and UK Channels

#101
UPDATE Dec 16th 2018

Just did a little maintenance on the guide, nothing really changed just removed some old channels some old duplicates. Also added couple of new ones, we still got some blank channels in the HD range. Channel ID's look fine so it might be something on the server's end. We'll see if it gets resolved on the next pull. If not I'll have to look into that another day besides that all is the same.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!!

Hi acidjesus. I've been using you remote url for awhile now and it's been great but today I upgraded my kodi to 18.5 and now it won't play any channels. It loads the guides ok and initially played a few channels but now won't play any. I select a channel and it hangs for a couple of seconds like it's going to play but never does. Any ideas? I've already deleted guide data, restarted, etc. Also I reset my donation. Do I need to go back to 17.2? NEVERMIND. IT JUST STARTED WORKING!

If you see bunch off people starting new posts about channels not working then you know it's not only you, and there's always

UPDATE Apr. 20th 2020

No Guide.
It appears that Schedules Direct was doing some kind of maintenance on there systems and it didn't go as planned. So Stay Tuned. It Will Be Back but don't know exactly When.

From SD:
"April 20th 2020

SD-JSON service outage
We're aware of the SD-JSON outage. Sunday's maintenance did not go as planned and was backed out. I'm waiting to hear back from the engineer why it's still offline and an ETR."

Sorry for the inconvenience.

UPDATE Apr. 26th 2020

Spanish Channels.

I had some time over the weekend, so I decided to get additional subscription for Schedules Direct and start EPG guide for the Spanish speaking channels.
I'll adding new channels as we go. Because of that, the guide got a bit bigger from 32MB to around 49MB.

Just clear your guide data and it should populate with new channels info.

If you are familiar with Notepad++ editor, you can easily reduce the size of your file, by removing unnecessary data.

-Load xml file into Notepad++
-Click the "Binocular" Icon (Find/Replace/Mark)
-Click "Mark" Tab, select "Regular Expression" Sort format and enable "Bookmark Line"

In the "Find what:" window, copy and paste in the following string of Search terms;
Code: 
<value|</value|<actor|<writer|<producer|<director|<length|<episode-num|<rating|</rating>|<guest>|<star-rating|</star-rating>|<stereo|<audio|</audio|<previously-shown|<subtitles|<new />|<video>|</video>|<quality>|<presenter>|<aspect>|<url>
-Click "Mark All"

Program will parse your file and Bookmark (blue dot), every line that starts with any of the Terms (separated by the pipe " | " symbol).
On the Notepad++ menu, click "Search/ Bookmark/ Remove Bookmarked Lines".
When done, save your file.

*Size will be reduced from 40Mb, to around 12Mb.
*Speeds up file loading time considerably.
(Add or remove any terms you want)

* ...Nice work!

Shooty,

Thank you buddy for the heads up about Notepad++. Will have to check it out. Sadly I don't use Windows but I can always run Notepad++ in a VM or maybe find an alternative to Notepad++ for Linux. Plus I would have to find a way to make it run with a cron as I do with the guide and Sed to replace [*] with [NEW] in EPG. Maybe small bash script will do. Will have to look into it for sure. Makes sense to get rid of all that unnecessary data in EPG.

UPDATE Aug. 3rd 2020

Unfortunately I had some storms in my area last night and a tree went down on my powerlines so I was left with out power in my house and no way to update the EPG. It should be fixed by tonight or the latest tomorrow morning.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
