Strange.  The link is correct.

And under the name AFNAtlantic.us the grab is linked to a the webpage for AFN Atlantic.

This corresponds with the schedule on the webpage for AFN Atlantic, taken into account the timezone (Here UTC+1 - on the webpage UTC-4 for Atlanta)

Hi doglover,

the Epg on Fox Sport Europe (7e) 1:0:1:1:f:1:46b10c:0:0:0: is 3 hours ahead.

For e.g. the NFL matches on Sunday (tomorrow) are scheduled at 15.30 CET (epg showing 18.30), 19.00 CET (epg showing 22.00), 22.25 CET (epg showing 1.25) etc.

Could you please fix it?

Thank you!

 

Ps. Did you get any answer from the VTI team regarding the update of the epgimport plugin?

[doglover]

OK.  A matter of defining a wrong timezone in the grabber.  Corrected.

 

Willy

 

PS:  I have not seen a question from VTi

Hi Willy,

are you still grabbing the epg of Fox sport Europe (7e) 1:0:1:1:f:1:46b10c:0:0:0: from the Digiturk website?

Is it possible to add also the "second field" which details better the broadcasted event?

For e.g. the field "Yankees at Astros Game 6" for the MLB POST SEASON 2017 event.

 

Thank you!

Edited by yadranko, 21 October 2017 - 14:33.

[doglover]

OK.  Done.

It was supposed to be grabbed.  At least the statement was there.  But it needed a bit of maintenance.

HI Willy,

new refs for the AFN channels on 9E.

I presume you can delete all the old ones.

Thank you.

[Alex_NL]

The old references are gone.

[doglover]

OK.  Done.

 

Willy

[Alex_NL]

AFN News (1:0:19:67:65:12:5A0000:0:0:0:) has no EPG.

[doglover]

Typo in the service ref

 

Willy

[yadranko]

Hi Willy, I don’t have epg on AFN channels. The refs I’ve posted you are still correct. Can you please check? Thank you

[doglover]

Indeed the schedule is missing.

 

Willy

[doglover]

Found the culprit.  The website has been changed.

Grabbing it again is no problem in itself.  However I do not know if the timings are OK.

 

The schedule is now given as a json file (api call).  The schedule times are given as a date and time.  This looks like no problem.  But is this schedule given as in local time (US) or GMT?

To complicate matters the schedule on the website itself (in firefox) are shifted 6 hours from the times given in the json file.  But does firefox present the schedule in my local time or the US time?

 

So I have question marks all over the place.

I have assumed that the schedule given in the json file is in GMT.  As is mostly the case if you have to deal with json files.

 

You can import the schedule from approx. 13h00 (UTC+1) today.  Pls. report your findings.

PS: the US-TV schedule which is in the same file is still empty.  Problems finding the channels

Thanks Willy, I’ll keep an eye on it.
The last download should have overwritten the EIT epg; if so, it is right.
If anything pops out, I’ll post.

[Alex_NL]

Looks like the EPG of some AFN channels are offset by one hour.

 

EPG (1:0:1:6A:65:12:5A0000:0:0:0:) of AFN spectrum looks wrong.

From which website are you grabbing so I can check what's wrong?

[doglover]

Zap2it

Configure to Harrisburg (ZIP  17045) https://tvlistings.z...com/?aid=gapzap

And select AFN as provider

[doglover]

Maybe this is a possiblity:  http://v3.myafn.dodmedia.osd.mil/

http://v3.myafn.dodmedia.osd.mil/ will not open (timeout).

When I look at the EPG it looks okay.

[Alex_NL]

EPG for AFN (on 9E) is going wrong.

The timing is wrong, and not just because of DST ends on 6 november in the USA, and Europa already changed.
 

These are the service references:
