Ok, an update, channel 950 Film Zone, EPG is 2 hours ahead, if is 16:00 hrs, shows what is going to be at 18:00 hrs, and on 938 Paramount Channel is backwards, it shows what was playing 2 hours ago, 942 Cinemax is 3 hours behind on guide, 944 AMC guide is not for that channel, any of the programs concordate, 953 Fox family 2 hrs ahead on guide, 960 HBO latinoamerica & 961 HBO2 latinoamerica 2 hrs behind, 962 HBO Plus Este guide is not for that channel, that is what i've found until now, later will check some more.

It looks like the listings fop Film Zone are for the Eastern version, vs. the Western version, which is shown.. I'll see if there's a replacement. Probably the same issue with Paramount and Cinemax. AMC is just a guess, it's actually a feed intended for South America/Argentina, but I haven't found a good guide for that (only thing close is Peru), so its probably going to be dummied.
The sources for the latin america are Mexico Total Play, SkyMex, entutele and gato.tv, . Thanks for the feedback.
What could be helpful if you are watching these channels is to report what system that is actually broadcasting them, or the intended market, based on commercial breaks, etc.

Attached are suggested changes to the go.bat to produce a dummy for each day, vs. one two-day dummy. It uses a command file called datemath, which would go into your bin folder. That command file will correctly calculate the proper dates for the dummy, regardless the end-of-month, year, or leap year. The pre-process_multi.bat is to be integrated into the go.bat before the mc2xml processing. As the dummy.txt to be used has no footer, don't forget to close the complete xml with a footer.
Fixes for Euronews (English and German), removing conflicting and empty entry for English on hb13p, and enabling german language listing. (Euronews is on US DISH). Modifying webgrab to deactivate Motors TV and Star Sports, and time corrections reported on spanish channels. Modify latin_tp to get proper listing for FilmZone.
Since the new host
I am having problems with the guide under Live TV. I have tried resetting the EPG database and disabling/Enabling Live TV, Channels load the EPG loads but EPG is only for the PAST 24 Hours, so right now its 1:25 PM EST (My settings are already -4 under EPG settings), The EPG is showing for the last 24 hours and only upto 1PM EST, basically no EPG for current or future programs (I have the EPG set for 3 Days under EPG Settings).
With the ipkill host everything was working smoothly, and I changed the host url to h**p://is.gd/NFPSF[/url] and now no Current or Future EPG, only Past 24 hrs are showing. any help? thanks

Was wondering what grabber u are using for entutele ?? Ive tried looking on the bats but I cant find any reference on how you grab data from it
Webgrabplus is pulling from entutele, which is listed in the configuration file, placed in WebGrabFiles. Here's what it looks like:
Code:
<channel update="i" site="entutele.com" site_id="/canal/canal-2" xmltv_id="Canal 2">Mexico 1</channel>
<channel update="i" site="entutele.com" site_id="/canal/canal-5" xmltv_id="Canal 5">Mexico 2</channel>
<channel update="i" site="entutele.com" site_id="/canal/el-trece" xmltv_id="El Trece">Mexico 3</channel>
<channel update="i" site="entutele.com" site_id="/canal/once-tv" xmltv_id="Once TV">Mexico 4</channel>
<channel update="i" site="entutele.com" site_id="/canal/foro-tv" xmltv_id="Foro TV">Mexico 6</channel>
<channel update="i" site="entutele.com" site_id="/canal/azteca-7" xmltv_id="Azteca 7">Mexico 7</channel>
<channel update="i" site="entutele.com" site_id="/canal/teleformula" xmltv_id="TeleFórmula">Mexico 8</channel>
<channel update="i" site="entutele.com" site_id="/canal/proyecto-40" xmltv_id="Proyecto 40">Mexico 9</channel>
<channel update="i" site="entutele.com" site_id="/canal/milenio-tv" xmltv_id="Milenio TV">Mexico 10</channel>As you see, its for Mexico unnamed channels. Webgrab takes a while to generate, so I was thinking about going back into the Latin_tp (total play) to find those channels there, and putting it through mc2xml. I'd have to find out what the actual channel call signs are though... pain.
Great thanks!
Let me load your guide data on my kodi setup, and onces i see which are missing ill help you out with the mexican channels lineup to grab the correct epg id for each channel
I needed some EPG data from Cabelmas that was on entutele, but didnt knew webgrabberplus already had a parser for it
And btw scheduledirect has international data too, however it requires anual fee (25 bux or so) and it would just let you add 5 lineups, however they do carry some international lineups. All these are served via a JSON api
when i run this myself the first time.i get a popup from mc2xml asking for location and provider.get it on the first request when it starts to get epg from Microsoft(forget the name) and for hotbird premium.wasnt sure what to select so I guessed.guide looks fine but wasn't getting it before this latest release.after that it runs without stopping.
The reason you are getting that "popup"... actually the gui for the mc2xml, is that you were missing the .dat file the batch command is expecting. I don't know if its that much of a difference going forward because the .dat has been generated, it is important though if you are not 'forcing' an update, and want to run the batch to just pull new records, and not get the annoying 'ding' for the pull.
On the Mexican OTA channels... I looked on the skymex site and found something that help to match channels from a xml to actual channels
If someone wants, they can submit an update to the latin_skymex .ren and .chl, so we can make the pull more efficient! ... (I could do it... just maybe someone else can! LOL)

had t remove the new dummy channel setup for now.. it broke the EPG for IPTV simple client users.
