I have a question but I really don't know where to ask so I guess I'll just ask here because it's relevant and the thread seems active.

Since the EPG isn't complete, what can normies like me help with regarding that? Is there a "task" somewhere we could follow to kinda fill-up whats shows/channel names/schedules missing?

Most of the low hanging fruit is already picked, as far as listings go. What we need feedback on is on accuracy of the guide. Also, if you watch a certain ethnic channel group, where names aren't known, that may be something that would be helpful, especially if you know of an internet guide that lists it.

Another thing that would be helpful, maybe, is anyone knows if any of the international channels listed are offered by a North America provider. They would be easier to track down that way.

Here is a dummy, with news12 and sports and Music Videos
I named the dummy file "dummy.xtmtv" so it won't get erased in the go.bat To get the name of the channel on the guide, just need to change the <title> tag on the dummy programme. Crazed2.0 has a list that we can use in the NFPS section.

ill take care of those tomorrow. still trying to find actual guide data for some.. i loaded some but the list was wrong so have to move them around,

Here is Welshmans latest list for anyone that wants to help locate more of the internationals/sports/music, it has most of the actual channel names so we only need to find which country and provider we can find them on. - Always check Dishnet and SKy UK first as there are hundreds upon hundreds of internationals on those birds.

Your dummy file works great Dara. git updated. . it acts perfectly as a placeholder, if we find actual guide data for the channels that guide data take priority over the placeholder.. Think we should fill it for the remaining channels?

I saw that, my local load wasn't working so well, but I synced up with your github and my local dummy just loaded. Your music channels did write over the dummy, which is good. I'm wondering if breaking up the dummy into the different languages and categoires might make editing easier, and then scripting a merge before starting the mc2xml loads. I'm not sure how that can be done automatically though, because of the headers and the opening and closing tag.

copy /b header + news12 + sports + music + footer dummy
should work. lets put all that in a subfolder


hold off though. Im going to see if we can jsut generate the xml file on the fly by inputting a channel list.

Is that so. Well with regards to accuracy, I'm currently using the online one (the bit.do link), even though the guide says timeshift 0, I have to set Simple Client's timeshift to -4 (apply to all channels unchecked).

I'm in Toronto (EDT)

Ok. After the big ones, the other languages should just be simple "replaces" in the xml. Biggest one is Espana, I believe with 15.

I already updated the guide a couple of days ago for the bit.do for the time shift.

Okay I had too much time on my hands today lol So here is a one day special on the adult channels. Not sure how to integrate it into the bigger list. But it was just for fun anyways.
