dont know. try a different skin.... I am seeing that the dummy channels are messing with things a bit.. they do caus some slowdown (set your EPG to 1 day to help a bit).. but it also breaks the upcoming pvr.stalker's xmltv import, something ill have to talk to dvbken about before its realeased. i may end up just scrapping the dummy channel thing.

I was able to batch all those country specific dummies into one file, and they all loaded up, including espana. Of course, it won't catch those channels that aren't yet covered by mc2xmltv, but psycon, if you think it would be useful, I'll pass them over. I combined it with a non-dummy run, and the epg load was quick.

Here is a clean dummy, with extra spots for expansion, which includes the news12, sports and music vids and the un-named country channels. I ran it with the latest github update, and it appears to run fine on my pc kodi. I'll keep it around for a baseline.

I'll update the dummy with actual channel names in the program title, with the info that we have. Once I have that, I'll zip up the source .xmltvs and post them here.

I'm getting ready to set up my own xml but want to make sure I get the right files from the git. Are there the files I need to download;
.gitignore, Go.bat, NFPS.xml, gotest.bat, readme.md

And do I need to download any of the files from the bin folder?

EDIT: Never mind, just noticed the download zip button on the right LOL

they are all listed in the .chl and .ren files - if u just want english just remove everything but UK US, Canada and ireland
Click to expand...

Aaah ok cool. Uumm.. I just ran the go.bat and the NFPS.xml isn't in the directory where go.bat is, so I'm now assuming it was sent to one of the Kodi folders... But which one? LOL

It should be in the same folder... if your modifying the script you really need to do your own troubleshooting. you have to check all your -I and -O filenames to make sure everything is still appending to eachother..

also, ignore gotest, its for something else.

Here is the dummy, with known channel names. It does integrate with psycon's epg scan, and does come up quickly on my kodi pc. On my LAN with android, the load is reasonable, and it may take a few minutes for android kodi to completely update the big guide. It probably will be longer with a load from bit.do.

I hope to keep up with the channel moves and renames, but I'm not going to sit on any channel to figure out what it is. So, if you want to help, update the channel names threads in the NFPS section so those are up-to-date as much as we know.

I'll post the source dummies for the DYIers later after I clean them up a little.

Here are the source dummies, with a dummy.bat to create an dummy.xml. I broke up them up for different countries to make it easier to edit and debug. It should be self-explanatory on how to modify for a different channel name, use notepad++ to do it though. Also, I didn't do the adults... my eyes are already bad.

At the end of the go.bat the line is:

move NFPS.xml ..
del *.xml
cd ..
cls

At the end of the gotest.bat it's

move xmltv.xml %appdata%\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\pvr.stalker
del *.xml
cd ..
cls

It's been a LONG time since I've done any coding so I'm still a little rusty... But I'm pretty sure I know the move NFPS.xml/xmltv.xml is sending the xml file to a specific directory... So I have that part figured out I believe.... If not please correct me...

Now just a couple more questions and that should be all for today's questions... famous last words eh... LOL...

1: If I want to further limit the channels that are pulled into the EPG do I change remove them from the .ch and .ren files?

2: Does the xml file automatically updated the EPG info or do I have to run mc2xml.exe to update the EPG info every 48 hours or however long it's set to pull data in for?

3: In the bin folder, can I delete the .ch and .ren files for the different countries, and are there any files in there I should not delete?

4: I notice some channels are missing such as; Bravo and The CW (WGN). Can I simply add these to the .ch and .ren files and they will be pulled in?

Thanks in advance, and thanks for all the hard work you guys are doing and the awesome help you are being with us...
