New EPG Option -open discussion

#141
As far as I can tell from my abundant good looks and limited forensic's skills, PVR Stalker doesn't respect daylight savings time in Kodi 15.0 - 15.2. There is a way to download and edit the EPG file to correct for this, however, as I have demonstrated in another post.

http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?...pen-discussion&p=168572&viewfull=1#post168572

The alternative is to upgrade to Kodi 16.1, where PVR Stalker client will sync times correctly.

click on the links you provided and see which on gets xml data,hint:the first one.

@viper
great job gettinthis together.
just a few observations..
your adding your external mc2xml pull via whatver method you choose(i forget).whay dont you add it to your your first mc2xml pull that diesnt have a - I?

regarding schedules direct
they also have a edit lineup option when you login where you can enable/disable channels that you want to download.
its where your lineups are listed,just click on edit.
this does not solve the issue of having to remap the channels but you can get away with only using a .ren file rather than a .chl file also.it will also speed up the download(not that it slow) as it only sends the channels you enabled rather than them all filtering on the receiving end.
also i always founf it best to use the schedules direct/microsoft i.xx.microsoft.com id rather than the name(its a pita but i redid them all for you know who) as sometimes your dealing with so many different providers(also webgrab) that conflicts happens and thats why u cant figure out why data for some channels does not display.
also sometimes nfps has crazy characters in their names(like non-breaking space).there were many channels that i had to tell "you know who" to tell nfps to fix them.its fine as long as you know but pita if you dont.
what i use to do is turn debugging on in kodi and restart it.the kodi.log will have the channels names as loaded from the server.i would copy the name directly from there(with spaces) on the channesl that i could never get to show into the .ren file and they would appear after that.

psyon banned me long time ago.lol.
timeblax send me a email saying it was lifted,thks to crazed for noticing it.

thks crazed.

also for viper..

also did you know you can use your sd user/pass with mc2xml for their json service(read on the mc2xml site for how).you only get 4 lineups with 6 changes/day if i remember right.there are separate from the lineups in you actual sd account you add via the web.
read on the mc2xml site on how to add/delete lineups on it.every request you do counts towards your six for the day so use them wisely.read mc2xml 5 times thyen 5 times again.
the json service sometime has data for channels that rovi doesnt.

this give you 4 lineups for sd,and 4 for international or north america(see mc2xml site for json countries) via the json service.

I don't combine in case something goes wrong. I'm not sure how the error handling is with mc2xml if the first feed failed. I figured that I have to edit the xml anyway by removing certain tags to shrink the file size anyway, so it's no big deal to add them. I also thought that maybe in the future I might use other programs like zap2it so just combining everything into 1 xml instead of relying on mc2xml to do it makes it more extensible. Plus I can get each feed by itself for debugging later on.

For getting the channels, there's an easier way to get them. Kodi uses a .db sqlite for storing the channels so you can download a program like sqlite browser to view the table of all the channels.

that program is webgabb+plus.i know its inside out.iptv simple client only import s the title,description,and genre from a guide xml.
webgrab has a post processor(happens after epg grabbing).with it you can do things like add year to end of title,add astors,directors to description.you name it it possible.
best thing is it can be run on mc2xml files also..well any xml in that case.
 
#151
so here are some examples of what you can do with webgrab's post processor.
the one i use is called 'rex" and ir can re-arrainge/move/remove guide.xml elements quickly and easily.

here's a movie example.

I'm pretty sure that I used DirectTV New York option but I'm not 100%.

You can always do a full pull and check it over after to see if it has the channels you want. Be ready to delete it shortly afterwards, though, because it could run upwards of 4 GIGS.
