Are you sure? Serbia isn't in UTC. Does site itself provide info in good timezone, so you had to adapt something or what?

[doglover]

The website as you see it in the webbrowser is in your lo\cal timezone (UTC+2)

However the times mentioned in the json file are in UTC.

 

More and more websites use this approach.  The intelligence in the website convert the UTC times to the timezone your browser is in.

This way you will always have the schedule in your timezone, even if you suddenly request the schedule in Greece (UTC+3) of Ukraine.

Hello,

 

is it possible to grab EPG of Pluto TV?

 

https://pluto.tv/liv.../cc-pluto-tv-de

[doglover]

Yes and no.

 

No.

because as you will have noticed, every-time you try to access the Pluto website, you are thrown back to the European version of it, which does not contain any EPG

 

Yes. 

You only need an USA based VPN to access the USA web pages which contain the EPG.

However this is not very practical.

 

But not everything is lost.  The EPG is also here:  https://i.mjh.nz/PlutoTV/

But this is not directly usable in EPGimport.  The website is https which is not supported in EPGimport.

What you can do is download the file with an cronjob in your receiver:

1 9 * * *  curl https://i.mjh.nz/PlutoTV/epg.xml.gz -o /tmp/PlutoTv.epg.gz

PS: you need curl installed on your receiver.  If it s not there install it with:  opkg install curl

and add a file pluto.sources.xml in your EPGimport folder containing:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sources>
<sourcecat sourcecatname="Pluto TV">
<source type="gen_xmltv" nocheck="1" channels="custom.channels.xml">
<description>Pluto TV USA</description>
<url>/tmp/PlutoTv.epg.gz</url>
</source>
<source type="gen_xmltv" nocheck="1" channels="custom.channels.xml">
<description>STIRR TV USA</description>
<url>/tmp/STIRRTv.epg.gz</url>
</source>
</sourcecat>
</sources>

Of course you still have to link the channels to the correct EPG.

If you use my utility published here:  https://forums.openp...1-epg-for-iptv/

This will be done automatically if you use it for the m3u file of the website from above.

The created pluto.sourced.xml file is not correct any-more.  Replace it with the above.

oh sorry, dosent know they using geoblocking. i need/want german EPG

[doglover]

If there is a German version, I cannot access it.  As you say geo-blocking.

Again, a VPN would be the solution.  But as I said before, it is not very practical.

Hi,

 

It seems that the Croatian EPG-Files are almost empty.

For example, Croatia-Basic (has only 193 KB) contains only entries for "Federalna TV.ba", "PoljoprivrednaTV.hr" and "HNTV.hr". Other channels like HRT, NOVA or RTL are not in the file and are missing already couple of days.

Can you please check it?

 

And one more thing, can I post here about missing EPG's from other countries or there is a thread for each country?

 

Best regards

dddddomy

[doglover]

Try to find a thread which is created for the country you want to make comments.

If you cannot find one, create a new thread.

 

And indeed.  A small change to the grabber for the Croatian channels was needed.

Also some Serbian channels where affected. 

Fixed.

 

A new grab is running now (but because quite a lot is missing at the moment, it will be tomorrow morning before everything is uploaded.)

Hi,

 

is it possible to grab EPG for https://rocketbeans.tv/sendeplan ?

its a german Gaming IPTV Channel.

[doglover]

It should be possible.

 

https://api.rocketbe...dDay=1604444400

 

The result is a json file, which can easily be gabbed.

 

I need to write something for it (but not today - maybe tomorrow).

 

By the way: do you have an URL which I can add to the IPTV section - it seems to be free on the net.

Edited by doglover, 29 October 2020 - 16:23.

[doglover]

Grabber written.  (grabber is here: https://github.com/d...ni.pack/Germany

hello , the uk channle "disney channel disney xd and disneyjunior" can not grab the epg , can you help me.thank you! 

[doglover]

Me neither.

Channels seem to have disappeared from the UK market.

[Pr2]

Since that Disney have its own offer Disney+ they drop many Disney channels for the other providers.

In openPLI there are 2 ways to have EPG by using the pluging EPGImport and with native EPG (Menu/Settings/EPG).

 

Is it not to bad to use these two possibilities at the same time ?

[doglover]

For the receiver it is no problem to have both enabled.

 

However, you risk the possibility of double entries.  This will happen if the shows have a slightly different start time.  (f.i. 5 minutes apart).

This happens very frequently. 

 

We advise to use only one of the EPG sources.

Which one?

This depends on your preferences.  The Rytec source will carry in general a 6 or 7  day schedule.  But is only updated once a day.

Native EPG (EIT and others) will be in general continuously updated.  But for several providers it is only 2 days.  Or with other providers is updated very slowly.

 

So both have their shortcomings.  And what you use depends on your preferences.
