That's something for EPGImport / XML TV authors to fix, nothing I can do.

 

Maybe make a post about it.

but still have missing epg for STV Glasgow, Sky Sports 4 & a few others.

 

I believe Sky Sports 4 has just been fixed but there are a few copies of this so I'm not sure if all the SID's have been fixed.

As for STV Glasgow, there is no EPG for it. Unless you can find a reliable schedule for it on the internet. Can you?

Tell me which are missing (including the servive refs)

I have fixed Sky Sports 4 (no data in the XMTV file) and a few others in the last couple of days.  So firstly reboot your box and reimport.  Also added ITVBe.

 

STV Glasgow:  http://player.stv.tv...date=2014-10-17

Is this the schedule?

Re-install the image completely, I think something messed up at OS level.

Hi Acds, found a problem with missing channels when using.

Made a 4 channel bouquet of the 4 Film1 channels on 23.5e.

When using "Filtered Benelux" it only downloads Film1 Sundance. If I download "Full Benelux" all is normal.

[doglover]

I think I understand the problem.

 

<channel id="Film1Action.nl">1:0:16:51b8:0c96:0003:00eb0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- Film1 Action -->
<channel id="Film1Action.nl">1:0:1:51b8:0c96:0003:00eb0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- Film1 Action -->
<channel id="Film1Family.nl">1:0:1:51ae:0c96:0003:00eb0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- film 1 Family A3 -->
<channel id="Film1Premiere.nl">1:0:19:51db:0c96:0003:00eb0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- film 1 Premiere HD A3 -->
<channel id="Film1Premiere.nl">1:0:1:51db:0c96:0003:00eb0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- film 1 Premiere HD A3 -->
<channel id="Film1Sundance.nl">1:0:16:51B3:C96:3:EB0000:0:0:0:</channel> <!-- film1 Sundance A3 -->

 

Service refs can be:  0c96:0003:00eb0000

or: c96:3:eb0000

 

both give the same result.

the version is dependant on the source where you take them from.  (lamedb or bouquet files)

 

I think this utility does not select the first version.

 

All the number are hexadecimal values.

I will fix that in the next build.

 

I made some serious improvements and added advanced matching where you can review all channels, their EPG data from XML sources and manually select what epg source you want

to be mapped to your channel(s). In addition I implemented suggestive channel name matchmaking using difflib library.

 

I will post the version later today or tomorrow.

Sry guys for I being late with then new version, did not have time to sit on my pc for a while. :/

[hemertje]

great, thx!

Ok here it is v.1.1.

 

There is no documentation and the Advanced screen is a bit complex, but here goes some level of explanation.

 

General idea behind the advanced matching screen is that you can have complete control over what the EPGImport plugin is doing.

 

The advanced matching screen is split into left and right section. On the left side, in the list, we review all the channels from our chosen bouquets from the beginning screen. If you change active bouquets on the beginning screen and go back to advanced option the visible channel list will refresh.

 

Pressing Ok button on the left side list will zap to that channel.

 

On the right side of the screen we see 3 lists. Upper list represent matches for selected channel in the left side list. That means every time we select different channel on the left side the right side list will refresh and show found matches for selected channel in the left side list.

 

Initial matching is done only by reference id, therefor on the right side we will see matches found for our channels that have matching ref in rytec channels file.

 

By clicking <> buttons we can focus the left side / right side list. If we selected right side list and press Ok, we will tag/un-tag the selected match. By un-tagging selected match we will actually block EPGImport plugin from importing epg data for that channel.

 

Considering that there are entries in the rytec epg files that are not yet matched to all existing channel ref's it's possible that some of our existing channels are unmatched because there is no known ref id in the channel file.

 

We can proceed now to name matching by loading epg data. Epg data files are actually the files that contain all channel epg data. We do that by clicking the red button on the advanced screen. 

We chose the rytec sources and press blue button (proceed).

 

Now we need to wait epg loading process to finish. The epg parser will recognize all program id's from the epg files and load 4 next events for each program. This is essential for the next matching step we need to do.

 

By clicking > button we will select right side list. Using 1,2,3 buttons will force name matching for selected channel versus all channels in the epg program files.

 

Name matching is done using libdiff library. This means that after we select a channel and press 1 or 2 or 3 button the right side list will show additional entries. These entries represent closest name matched from epg program file for that selected channel.

 

In addition below right side list we have 2 additional list. Right-bottom-left list represent epg data for selected match in the right side list and right-bottom-right list represent epg data for selected channel

on the left side list.

 

Now we can start reviewing all the data for our channels. We can analyze all name matches and review epg data and confirm that selected channel match is indeed our selected channel.

 

We can determine that channel match is actually correct but data is not as good as we want it to be so we can just left channel un-mapped so epg data won't load. This is the case with C+DEPORT HD channel. Someone should really investigate why that channel have such bad epg data.

 

Button 1 - will match left list channel with 10 closest name matched at 50% similarity(or 10% if none found)

Button 2 - will show 30 closest  matches

Button 3 - will show 50 closest matches

 

Button 4 - will show all bouquet channels (default)

Button 5 - will show only channels matched by ref

Button 6 - will show only channels that are not matches by ref

 

After we are done with matching we can press green button and save all of our matches. This is important because next time we open EPGImportFilter it will contain all previous matches.

 

Now we can press blue (install) button and create new filtered channel file that will have correct matches for our epg import plugin.

 

I know it's a bit of a complex routine but it's the simplest way I figured out to analyze and match large collection of rytec epg data files.

 

In addition when epgimport plugin now imports epg data for my 120 channels favorite bouquet it will last only few minutes (even if my channels are spread across 10 rytes sources) and will take only few megabytes of precious receiver memory.

Before I start investigating how that is easily done, can you please post a 3 step guide how to do that?

[WanWizard]

It starts by someone creating a repository for you, and give you write access to it. You can't do that yourself. Let us know what your repository name should be, and someone will create it for you.

Ok got it, thanks for the guide.

Following the logic of other plugins repository should be called: e2openplugin-EPGImportFilter

[WanWizard]

Created. If you tell me your github account name, I can give you write access to it.
