You can create epg.dat files with the epgimport program on a Windows PC (or on a Linux PC)

Install python on your PC, together with a couple of packages:

 

pywin32-218.win32-py2.7.exe
zope.interface-3.6.3.win32-py2.7.exe
python-2.7.4.msi
Twisted-13.0.0.win32-py2.7.msi

 

Use google to find them on the net.  (That is way I found them).

 

Then unzip the attached zip file to a dir on your PC.

 

Now open poland.sources.xml and edit the file to suit your needs.  Change the channels file posisition and name and the name and position of the data file

Save the file.

 

Now run from the command line (in the dir you placed the unzipped package):

 

OfflineImport.py  poland.sources.xml

 

An epg.dat file will be created in the same dir.

Jezus,  I gave you a copy of the dir which I use to produce the epg.dat files.

However I run these on a XP or a Vista machine.

 

I do not know what went wrong.  It simply works on my machine.

 

I hope you installed Python first (python-2.7.4.msi) and the package after that?

 

Willy

[maigais]

exactly
I have windows7
good to try out ubuntu

[doglover]

You have to download the ubuntu versions of python for that.

 

Willy

[doglover]

I just realised, the copy I gave you contains the compiled python files as well.

Maybe you try to delete the .pyc files first.

 

Python will compile them again.

 

Willy

[maigais]

I do not know either tried it on windows7 and ubuntu
anyway the fault can exist
perhaps still needs some component

[doglover]

I gave you all, I have.

Did run a test with my latest UK file.  Resut:

[maigais]

Thank you very much, the information is very useful
but, I do not change the windows system

and yet I suspect that the EPG for IPTV
or even pass through the EPGImport
Like the script makeref

The presence of IPTV reference
causes errors

I will proceed
crossepg wring

[maigais]

But still weird
Why not see crossepg National Geographic
Only one other Channels are emerging
tested with CrossEPG Explorer

but there are a couple of questions

 

 

how to import multiple source.xml
  file epg.dat

 

and that the EPG importer supports the following formats

 

<channel id="557">1:0:1:143:5:FFFF:0:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- Ля Минор -->

 

 

<channel id="557">
<display-name lang="ru">Ля-Минор</display-name>
<icon src="http://www.teleguide...channel/557.gif" />
</channel>

 

 

 

<programme start="20130909050000 +0400" stop="20130909061500 +0400" channel="557">
<title lang="ru">К нам приехал...</title>
<category lang="ru">Развлекательные</category>
</programme>

[doglover]

Multiple sources.  No problem.

 

In the sources file just add as many as you want:

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="latin-1"?>
<sources>

<source type="gen_xmltv" channels="C:\EPG\ready\rytec.channels-sat.xml">
    <description>Test</description>
    <url>c:\EPG\newswebgrab.xml</url>
</source>
<source type="gen_xmltv" channels="C:\EPG\ready\rytec.channels-cable.xml">
    <description>Rytec NL/BE</description>
    <url>c:/EPG/ready/rytecxmltvbenl.gz</url>
</source>

<source type="gen_xmltv" channels="C:\EPG\ready\rytec.channels.xml">
    <description>Rytec Ex-yu</description>
    <url>c:/EPG/ready/rytecxmltvexyu.gz</url>
</source>

</sources>
 

 

This

 

<channel id="557">1:0:1:143:5:FFFF:0:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- Ля Минор -->

 

should be OK.  However.  The namespace parameter is unusual.  Here 0 normally this something like EB0000 or C00000 or something like this.  I do not know what the epgimporter does with such a Namespace, as it is outside my experience.

 

<channel id="557">  is certainly OK.

Make sure however that all your files in the same code page.  If you use UTF-8 save your channels file also in UTF-8 format.

557 is the same coded in all code pages so that will not be a problem.  But é, ä and certainly Cyrillic characters in the channel names (epg references) will present a problem if not coded in the same code page.

[maigais]

Thank you very much, the one question I was Clarity

and the second question

How to run multiple source.xml

 

 

 

This kind of erases the previous epg.dat

python 
..\python27\epg\OfflineImport.py \python27\epg\latvian.sources.xml 
\python27\epg\iptv.sources.xml
 

 

[maigais]

Thank you very much for your patience
everything is working very well
at least at the moment I can create the same epg.dat
for IPTV

 

[doglover]

The file epg_new.dat is recreated each time as run the python program.

You have to get it out of the way (if you want to save it for further use) by copying to somewhere else.

 

Everything you define into one multiple source.xml ends up into the same epg_new.dat file.

 

So define everything into the same multiple.source.xml

I have all done written above.
In command line but I get:

 

C:\Users\admin>c:/EPGpython/Offlineimport.py poland.sources.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\EPGpython\OfflineImport.py", line 68, in <module>
    importFrom(epgimport, xml)
  File "C:\EPGpython\OfflineImport.py", line 50, in importFrom
    sources = [ s for s in EPGConfig.enumSourcesFile(sourceXml, filter = None) ]
  File "C:\EPGpython\EPGConfig.py", line 106, in enumSourcesFile
    for event, elem in iterparse(open(sourcefile, 'rb')):
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'poland.sources.xml'

C:\Users\admin>
 

 

What did I do wrong?

[proline]

Although I have definitely poland.sources.xml

 

 

???
