Hi all,

I'm looking for information about structure of epg.dat file stored on Enigma2.

I need to extract from epg.dat information about program to HTML.

Does anyone know something about how is the type of epg.dat file (type I mean SQLite or other DB file) and how to read epg.dat?

Thanks!

The file has a custom format that requires parsing, it's not a standad file type.

 

A simple search on the codebase like https://github.com/O...tf8=✓&q=epg.dat will show you the eEPGCache::load() method in /lib/dvb/epgcache.cpp that takes care of loading the file when Enigma2 starts.

 

Alternatively look for the source of CrossEPG, I believe that can read the epg.dat file too.

Hi,

Thanks for good idea:), I tried to write simple app for parse epg.dat file, but I stop on "eventData::load(FILE *f)" event data are not correctly read. For now I can only read - TSID, SID, NID, EventID, StartTime, Duration. 

Someone can help me?

	uint8_t n_crc;
	uint8_t type;
	static uint8_t data[];

	int getEventID() const
	{
		return (rawEITdata[0] << 8) | rawEITdata[1];
	}
	time_t getStartTime() const
	{
		return parseDVBtime(&rawEITdata[2]);
	}
	int getDuration() const
