I have openli 8.3, the EPG on IPTV has always worked fine, but for several days on the S-K-Y ita channels everything is out of sync. To read the correct EPG of what is on air I have to go forward about a day. (+ 23 hours).

Has anyone encountered this problem that I have had for several days?

 

Greetings

I don't know what happened, but while I was preparing the material to document the problem I see now that everything is back in order!! if it is your work.... 1000 thanks.

OK.  Then is was the Cinema channels.  (Which I corrected this afternoon)

 

The problem was that the website I use, list it schedules as "oggi" , "domani" , "dopodomani".

And it consider days as run from 6h00 until 6h00 the next morning.

So if you request the schedule from "oggi" at 4h00 in the morning, you get the schedule of yesterday.  Because for the channel it is still yesterday.

 

There is solution to this.  Determine what date they mean with "oggi" and use that as a start date.

This is what do.

However, some clever clog in the website found that he had to change something.

I grabbed the date, which is just after this:  title="Oggi">Oggi <span>

 

Now the clever clog changed this to:  title='Oggi'>Oggi <span>

 

Now the date selection went haywire, and The yesterdays schedule was considered to be today's.

 

Fixed this.

Problem being that I cannot test this.  The real test comes with the grab of next night.

I will check tomorrow the schedule.

It looks it worked:

Yes, it seems to me that now everything works again.

Strange that no one has complained about this thing, I'm the only one left who still uses Enigma 2 on Dreambox !!!

Thanks, it's a real pleasure to exchange opinions with someone competent.

Big Boss, good morning. Can you explain this to me?

 

Checks I have done:

 

1) Without EPG import active if I go to a Scai C i n e m a satellite channel I get the plot of the current and next film (so it exists and they are broadcasting it)

 

2) If I activate EPG Import to cover the IPTV channels on the channels mentioned in point 1 I only get info regarding Year, Record, Genre... etc. BUT NOT THE PLOT.

 

3) If I go to sites like "epgitalia.tv" and download the EPG files that are present and check them with an editor I FIND THE SKY FILMS' PLOT, so they exist and can be found.

 

4) I tried to search around various "rytec.sources.xml" files from which, taking the addresses (eg http://www.xmltvepg...._SportMovies.xz ) from which to download the file but I have not found any that contain the plots.

 

Thanks in advance

Currrent and next, in DVB terms Now/Next, is not EPG, it is broadcasted seperately, and has a higher priority than EPG in Enigma (so it can display last minute changes). But as it is not EPG, it will not update the EPG, Now/Next is only visible in the channels infobar.
