Possibility to get an xmltv file for Asian Sat beams?

 

Start with these channels:- (in scanned order off Asiasat 5 100.5 degree East) 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

BEIN Sports 1 - http://www.tvbnetwor...g/beIN-SPORTS-1 (Hong Kong)

 

BEIN Sports 2 - http://www.tvbnetwor...g/beIN-SPORTS-2 (Hong Kong)

 

BEIN Sports 3 - http://www.truevisio.../trueworld.aspx & http://www.truevisio...e1.aspx#lang_en The Guide on these sites is java I think and not working too well but you may be able to retreive something shrug. They have IOS and android apps if you can sign in with a fake thailand facebook account (Thailand)

 

EDGE Sports Channel - http://www.truevisio...e1.aspx#lang_en same as above.

 

FashionTV HD - http://www.fashiontv.com/schedule (FashionTV Asia guide) download EPG link on this site

 

Trace Sports Inter HD - http://www.trace.tv/en/tv/sport    (may need to adjust timings in guide because Trace sports is on a few diff Sats but these should be the same channel listings on every sat)

 

Trace Urban Inter HD - http://www.trace.tv/en/tv/urban (may need adjust timings.. there's a general guide for all http://www.trace.tv/en/tv but very difficult to understand)

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Truevisions site the only one I could find for edge sports and bein sports 1 THAILAND which is BEIN 3 in the dreamboxedit file..but they all come off that truevisions package.. if you know better guide sites maybe you could find a readable EPG for this but evidently they are quite bad guides

 

 

Would love these channels and more if you can do these

I had a look, and first of all I not all fluent in Thai.  Which is a problem.

Secondly, I do not have time to expand into new markets.

 

However:  Take a look here: http://www.webgrabpl...channels#stc_33

 

Maybe you can do it yourself.

Great link nice.. thanks friend love to be able to do it myself. 

 

looks like that link is to truevision anyway (?)

 

the Thai one is Truevision and the guide is absolute crap. I would most likely leave that one out myself if I was doing it

 

there are quite a few decent channels over here on the East, none have been done though in xmltv except the Optus bouquet pretty sure thats foxtel and I'm not paying for it

defeats the purpose of owning enigma2 box really. if I could just add the EPG for quite a few of them I would be happy

 

sorry to ask but how do you test these webgrab+ archives in enigma2 ? there a link

[highkick05]

holy crap 

 

    <channel update="i" site="truevisiontv.com" site_id="183" xmltv_id="EDGE">EDGE</channel>

    <channel update="i" site="truevisiontv.com" site_id="194" xmltv_id="TRACE">TRACE</channel>

 

<channel update="i" site="truevisiontv.com" site_id="178" xmltv_id="FTV HD">FTV HD</channel>

 

like the idea of site_id although I'm not sure thats the same channel number as the site guide is showing

676 = Bein Sports.

 

nope FTV on site is 343 OK tnx 

[doglover]

I grabbed a new channels list for truevision (attached)

I also included now descriptions.

Secondly, I will see if I can find some time to write a grabber for: http://www.tvbnetwor...com/en/channels

 

Pls read our Faq's: http://openpli.org/f...t-xmltv-import/

!! hooray so this thai site actually does work 

[highkick05]

so how do you go from Webgrab+ ---> xmltv file for xmltv_import in enigma2

 

would be my final question or how to get it on the enigma2 EPG 

 

thanks again

[doglover]

Found an error in the ini.  Especially EDGE sports was affected.

Corrected this.

 

If you do not want descriptions.  Disable the line which starts with : index_urlshow {url

by placing an * in front of it.

 

Willy

 

PS: will answer your question later today.

In order to import the grabbed epg in your enigma2 box:

 

1. Install XMLTV importer

2. Download and unzip the attached files.

3. Edit the own.sources.xml file

 

Edit the line     <url>/media/hdd/epg/ownxmltvfile.xml</url>  with the path and filename from your webgrab XMLTV file

Here I placed the file in /media/hdd/epg/

This can also on a network path.

 

Save this file on your enigma2 box in /etc/epgimport/

 

4. Edit the own.channels.xml file.

I made this file from the lamedb you provided.

You have to add the epg reference to the entries.

 

The entry you need is in the Webgrab++.config.xml file.

It is the text which is between "" after the entry: xmltv_id=

Take this text (you can use whatever your want - fi.i I use always the name of the channel + the country - example: ZoneReality.hr)

and insert it beween in <channel id=""> between the "" in the appropiate line of the own.channels.xml file

 

<channel update="i" site="port.hr" site_id="40041" xmltv_id="ZoneReality.hr">Zone Reality</channel>

 

<channel id="ZoneReality.hr">1:0:1:ABE:6:1:E08B163:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- Reality -->

 

5. Copy this file to the /epg/epgimport/ folder of your enigma2 box.

 

6. If you have placed the webgrab output file to the appropiate place, you can now try to import the XMLTV EPG.

Do not forget to select the "Own XMLTV file" source in the importer.

BTW:  Own XMLTV file can be replaced with every text you want.

 

Success

cool man thanks for the help hey.. 

 

Sorry for my slowness on this but takes a while for my brain to kick in and fathom the doc's

 

so we have :

 

WebGrab+ which is basically a one-time-only run execution which spews out the guide.xml after execution (file you use for xmltv_import)

 

what it effectively looks at in order while running is:-

1) looks at the XML file first for users specific channels they want and from what PACKAGE/DOMAIN WEBSITE: for this example truevisions.com.in

            <channel update="" site="yourtv.com.au" site_id="MOVIE EXTRA" xmltv_id="MOVIE EXTRA">MOVIE EXTRA</channel>    (example of an included ini pointing to ->channel) in the webgrab_config.xml

 

2) processes the corresponding ini and probably includes the "truevisions.com.ini" code in the eventually spewed out guide.xml file 

 

3) You upload the guide.xml (rename) and in the enigma epg setting up the path in own.sources.xml ? ( webgrab XMLTV output file = "C:\Program Data\ServerCare\WebGrab\guide.xml" ????)

 

Taking some time to understand but I think I'm progressing ok

[doglover]

This is indeed the process.  However a remark which can make your life easier:

 

In the webgrab++ config file you can set the name and place of the output file.

Example:

 

  <filename>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TVxb\xml\polen3webgrab.xml</filename>

 

So you can set it to a path which your enigma2 box can access.  f.i. somewhere on a network path.  Even the box itself (HDD or USB stick)

In order to run webgrab++ you have to have access to the internet.  So it has to be connected to your network.

Chances are that at the same time your box is available on the network.  So if you create a network path to your box, you can directly save the Webgrab++ output file to your box.

 

You run normally webgrab++ once a day.  But If you grab like 14 days of EPG, you could limit the grabs to once every 3 or 4 days.

ok just read your own.channels.xml and own.sources.xml zip

 

effectively what this is doing is connecting the actual enigma2 box channels in the skin menu to the actual EPG data (the /media/hdd/epg.dat) which now contains the truevisions.com info from your successful xmltv import file

 

connecting it all together

 

question though which I could probably work out later though

ok ok ok 

 

so the own.sources.xml and the own.channels.xml is ALL read in by xmltv_import program and puts all corresponding data in the /media/hdd/epg.dat

and then the box just reads the EPG.dat for the "1:0:1:0700:000c:00a4:04200000:0:0:0:" which points to -> data from import

[highkick05]

In the webgrab++ config file you can set the name and place of the output file.

Example:

 

  <filename>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TVxb\xml\polen3webgrab.xml</filename>

 

So you can set it to a path which your enigma2 box can access.  f.i. somewhere on a network path.  Even the box itself (HDD or USB stick)

In order to run webgrab++ you have to have access to the internet.  So it has to be connected to your network.

sweet cheers. will take a while but I'm sure I will make it work... doubt I could do that code in the .ini file though would be freakingly harder task

[doglover]

so the own.sources.xml and the own.channels.xml is ALL read in by xmltv_import program and puts all corresponding data in the /media/hdd/epg.dat

 

Wrong.  XMLTV import  stores the data in memory.

pls. read our FAQ's about epg.dat

 

Willy

[highkick05]

think I read that the .dat file was something else and that the PEG is acutally in memory .... forget what i read the .dat was 

 

no probs cheers anyway thanks for the help let ya know if i needf anything else most likely will

[highkick05]

ok understanding this further. answers my above confusion about how the normal enigma2 side finds the imported EPG data

 

<channel update="i" site="port.hr" site_id="40041" xmltv_id="ZoneReality.hr">Zone Reality</channel>

 

<channel id="ZoneReality.hr">1:0:1:ABE:6:1:E08B163:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- Reality -->

[highkick05]

how did you get the truevisions.channel.com.xml file originally?

 

Is this truevisions.ini working its magic ?

[doglover]

Yes.

 

In the siteini from webgrab enable these lines:

 

 

*url_index{url|http://fbstream1.truevisionstv.com/channels/grid}
*index_site_id.scrub {multi()|var phpChannelList = [|[|]|];}
*scope.range {(channellist)|end}
*index_site_channel.modify {addstart|'index_site_id'}
*index_site_channel.modify {substring(type=regex)|"^(?:\\".*?\\",){3}\\"(.*?)\\""}
*index_site_id.modify {substring(type=regex)|"^(?:\\".*?\\",){1}\\"(.*?)\\""}
*index_site_id.modify {cleanup(removeduplicates=equal,100 link="index_site_channel")}
*end_scope
 

 

(remove the * in front of it)

And run Webgrab++

 

And a new file is created.  Do not forget to disable these lines again, as there will be no normal grab when these are enabled.
