I second that. Would be great to see this as a built in grabber. There is information in OpenTV epg data such as series link and genre that I'd love to get access to through OpenWebIf.
I'm maintaining the Vu+/Enigma2 PVR plugin for Kodi and with that info there are some pretty cool things we can do. I believe genre is already there (correct me if I'm wrong), I have a feature request in to get it exposed over the REST API. SeriesLink would be the icing on the cake depending on the format it takes.
I'd give a go myself but my C skills are rusty at best and I just don't have the knowledge of the enigma2 build system to pull it off I'd say.

I need help from a more seasoned C dev, I'm very very rusty as well (25 years since my last real project).

EPG import has that option, and you can just put it on disk and tell Enigma to reload it, there's a webif call for that.

EPGimport can import epg.dat files.
Add to the sources file a new source like this:
<source type="epg.dat" channels="rytec.channels.xml.gz"> <description>Benelux</description> <url>http://www.url.nl/benl/epg.dat.gz</url> </source>
For local files use:
<source type="epg.dat" channels="rytec.channels.xml.gz"> <description>Benelux</description> <url>/home/root/epg.dat</url> </source>
The channels - channels="rytec.channels.xml.gz" - definition is ignored here. As the service ref is included in the epg.dat file.
You can use native epg.dat files or compressed epg.dat.gz files. I do not know if xz compressed epg.dat files are supported.
The method WanWizard is refering to is the built-in loading of epg.dat files in enigma2. This obvious works as well, without the use of EPGimport.
See here: https://github.com/E...I-documentation
How to use it escapes me at the moment.

Thanks.Can you add more details please? Where should the .dat files be placed, how to enable the reading/importing/acquisition of them in EPG importer? I cannot see the option.
Dat files here

Excuse me if I say, these are not epg.dat files for use in enigma2.

After looking around, maybe Crossepg has an option to use these files.
1. How to make proper epg.dat files from it escapes me, as I never studied the epg.dat definitions.
2. Making XMLTV files from it by using WG++ (a definition has to be written), and then importing it via EPGimport.
Finding the correct channles by this method would be a major undertaking.
The channels are named like this.
6125|2:805:278d
6160|2:805:27b0
6142|2:805:27a6
6110|2:805:2788

6040|2:806:2800
6355|2:806:280f
2902|2:806:27fe
6260|2:806:2814
6261|2:806:2815
And why do you want to do this, there is a perfectly good SiteIni for WG+ for radiotimes

The other lines are
EPG_ID, ONID, Transponder, service ID
1014|2:805:279b refers to ITVBe+1

Radiotimes is not working since 2016. Please correct if I am wrong.

I think Willy was refering to the xmltv files from RadioTimes.
It shouldn't be too difficult to adapt epgimport to support other formats to, it's plain Python.

Post 14 describes the process to invoke the radio times emulator. I was more interested in using the dat files on the actual receiver.
Lets see what the summer brings

Radiotimes is not working since 2016. Please correct if I am wrong.
Self correctionhttps://www.radiotimes.com/tv/tv-listings/
The radiotimes webpages are still available. The downloadable version stopped working in 2016.
The files mentioned above (post 25 - http://www.mediafire...output.zip/file) are produced by some-one lese and resemble the old radiotimes downloadable format.

Djeezes, they are produced on a receiver!!!!!!
It is just another format as compared to the XMLTV format used by EPGimport.
On a receiver one can already export the EPG to an XMLTV file.
See: https://forums.openp...onvert-to-rytec
and: https://www.oozoon-b...gexport-plugin/
This plugin already exports EPG to a file, and does this in a format (XMLTV) which can be imported by EPGimport, and being used by IPTV Simple Player and Kodi.
And do not forget that the EPG can be saved in a epg.dat file, which can be loaded by another enigma2 machine if wanted.

Saving and loading epg.dat in enigma2 can be done by following commands:
wget http://127.0.0.0/api/saveepg wget http://127.0.0.0/api/loadepg
The epg.dat file is saved or loaded from the position defined in the receiver or via OpenWebif
Willy
PS: this method is quick as compared to the import of XMLTV files
