Hi guys first timer here and forgive me if I get things wrong.
I have dived into the IPTV on the Enigma2 (zgemma) have been using it for Sky & Virgin.
My question is the IPTV supplier I am with generates the EPG with WebGrab+Plus as it works for android & smartTV's but not for the zgemma as you know it don't work the same way as it needs unique identifiers for the banquets and the channels. So I have split the original M3U file into banquets (Movies, Sports, Music, Docs, etc.....) and I have given each banquet a unique reference and then put these into the channels a gave the channels unique reference's.
Below is a snip of the XML file with a channel and EPG:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

My questions are:
1. Is there a way I can use the above EPG data without editing it anyway as I would like to setup epgimporter schedule to grab this everyday.
2. If unable to then is there a service already that I can use already?
3. Is there any software that is easier to generate the channels & banquet's easier with unique identifiers as I am manually doing this and 700+ channels is a pain.
Thank you guys
