NFPS xmltv EPG Grabber development

[dara]

Guys, just one question, do i need to set my timezone? or it will be updated automaticly?

For the ipkill load, it should be set relative to UTC. For example, Eastern North America is -4, Pacific is -7. BST is currently +1.

By the way, for all that use this, if you know that your time zone is set correctly, and notice that the program is not matching to the guide, let us know. The webgrab guides are kind of tricky, as they aren't consistent on how the providers show their guides on-line, as the websites may take your local time and show what they have scheduled for their time. The times for the southern hemisphere may be really strange as they do Daylight Savings Time opposite of the northern. The schedules from microsoft are usually good. In particular, a Spanish speaker may help us greatly in reviewing the Latinoamerica channels.

When I run go.bat I get this error: "file Z:\Documents\Arduino\NFPS EPG Grabber\bin\wg_guide.xml not found.....Where is Z:\ coming from and how do I fix?

You shouldn't run go.bat unmodified without understanding what is going on. Webgrabplus was added to the epg build, and must be installed properly, as well as updated, with the required config files and ini's, and then you have to modify the go.bat to your system. The Z:\ is just where psycon prefers to generate the output of webgrab, before he merges it into the dummy.

 

[psycon]

You need to modify the webgrab config xml and change that line to the folder where you placed the /bin folder..

Ill automate the whole process eventually.

Redownload everyting (and unzip the webgrab zip to c:\programdata)- i changed webgrab to to save to c:\windows\temp and the script copies it from there.


Updated git: just some code changes... got rid of goenglish.bat. go.bat give you a choice, and defaults to running both grabbers after 5 seconds.

I'd wish that Astro SuperSports were up, because I want to confirm the time correction is -32!

This is a short fix for Discovery World, for the Latin_tp files. Make sure you take out the spaces around the colon for the .ren

DWRLDHD : Discovery World

 

[dara]

Here are the corrections (time for the webgrab, and the Discovery World LA), just need to drop them into the bin folder. I confirmed the time corrections for Astro, the UK stations, and the latinos, but not for the ABC News 24, or Star Sports, which aren't up. This should bring us to nearly 100% coverage on the available channels on NFPS.

Got reports that the ipkill.org url shorteneres were having issues as they were in anti DDOS mode.. for me, simply going to the link on your computer and letting it load would re-whitelist my ip and work again.

If you have continued trouble, try the is.gd links in the OP..

The failsaife would be entering the raw github link instead, its just so damn long to type.

 

[DarkSide]

the raw link worked for me with no problems on the pc... havent typed it out on the android stb cause it is long!!!! lol

new pvr.stalker released with full support for this xmltv data source. I recommend using it over IPTV simple Client.

I see the issue with the dummy on some of the news 12 on the pvr.stalker, just installed from the git. Weird that its some, but not others.

Oops just did a guide reset, and now the dummies don't appear at all. They did with the previous alpha.

 

[psycon]

yeah unsure why its doing that. probably a syntax issue in the dummy file.. im looking at it now, lemme know if u spot anything.

 

[dara]

I tested a small dummy with the news channels. The pvr stalker is very sensitive to time end on the dummy program. I'm able to see the program if it's in the current day, and maybe next day, but after 3 days, no. I'm going to see if its sensitive to an early start.

 

[psycon]

think i found the problem. regenerating the lists now. 10 minutes to go. lol

 

[dara]

The "Days to Display" does influence what is shown, so a program length that is greater than number, or is outside that time won't be on the current guide. I'm going to try it with a complete dummy, modifying the time start to midnight Pacific (0700 utc) and add three days to that and display to 3 days.

 

[psycon]

I already have the dummy generator set to modify the dates in the dummy files to only output the next couple days into the resulting file.

 

[dara]

I just ran the dummyparsed for midnight pacific time for current day to +2 days, and it shows for a "days to display" of 4, and doesn't for 1.

 

[dara]

I have to fix the dummy on the 4 News 12 so they have the same times as the rest of the dummy, and then sed can figure out what to do! I think the hours in the regex misses those 4 (Long Island, Hudson, New Jersey and Westchester)

 

[psycon]

its fixed. git updated

 

[dara]

its fixed. git updated

In the dummy or the go.bat? (Never mind, just saw it! )

I made some new dummies because some of the channels changed yesterday, but also to make the news12 times consistent with the rest of the dummies. The *.txt ' s have no header, but do have the </tv> footer.
