I am trying to assign sat EPG I have on my receiver to cable channels. I made channels.xml that look :

 

<channel id="1:0:1:321:8:AB:DE80000:0:0:0">1:0:19:449:24:1:FFFF0000:0:0:0:http%3a//abc.tv</channel> <!-- Ch1 -->

 

1:0:1:321:8:AB:DE80000:0:0:0 - Sat channel reference with EPG

1:0:19:449:24:1:FFFF0000:0:0:0 - cable channels reference - without EPG

 

and rytec.source.xml file   

 

<source type="epg.dat" channels="/media/hdd/epg/channels.xml">

    <description>MyTry(sat-cab)-EPG </description>

    <url>/media/hdd/epg.dat</url>

  </source>

 

How you can see I try to take SAT EPG information from epg.dat file from receiver. No success. Imported 0 events. According to log -EPG Import read dat.file , but won't find any event. A sat EPG present on all channels. Is here any way I can use it for cable?

What you are trying is not possible, I am afraid.

You cannot assign channels when importing epg.dat.  epg.dat contains the EPG and the services the EPG belong to.  You cannot change it.

 

What you can try is reading the EPG from your receiver by using Webgrab++ (via windows or linux PC) and the attached siteIni.

You have to change the siteIni a bit to adjust for the URL of you receiver.

 

In the config file define the channels you want EPG to be converted for as:

 

<channel update="i" site="openwebif-org.v2" site_id="1:0:16:1B80:C88:3:EB0000:0:0:0:" xmltv_id="RealityKings.ero">Reality Kings</channel>

 

When you grabbed the EPG from your receiver, you can import it again using a different set of service refs defined in the channels file.

Thank you for this idea.I"ll try it.

If any way to swap service reference number with another ?

[Abu Baniaz]

Enigma2 recognises the services/channels using service references. These include the tuning parameters. If you change a cable service to a satellite service, the cable tuner wont work.

Why dont you just add the cable references?

[moizhesm]

Why dont you just add the cable references?

You mean add cable service like streaming service ? Something like this: 

 

#service 1:0:1:321:8:AB:DE80000:0:0:0:http%3a//192.168.0.3%3a80%3a1%3a0%3a19%3a449%3a24%3a1%3aFFFF0000%3a0%3a0%3a0:Ch1 

#description Ch.1 .

 

Already tried this -EPG present. Great. But cable channel show as recorded . Other cable channels - "SID not found" message.

Thank you Willi. Work as a charm .

[Abu Baniaz]

No. Add the standard references for the cable channels to the channels file.

What are you talking about ? Explain,please. I try assign sat EPG present at my box for cable channels without EPG.

[doglover]

Build a channels file with the cable channel references.

 

f.i. like this:

 

<channel id="TravelChannel.uk">1:0:1:96B:18:F020:FFFF0000:0:0:0:</channel><!-- Travel Channel -->
<channel id="TrueEntertainment.uk">1:0:1:459:B:F020:FFFF0000:0:0:0:</channel><!-- True Entertainment -->

 

Take the name from the guide.xml you created and the service ref of the actual cable channel.

 I already made this yesterday after grabbing sat EPG from my box. Everything work fine.I can't understand what Abu Baniaz mean by

this "Why dont you just add the cable references?" ....

[moizhesm]

For me look like Abu Baniaz talk about another way to get sat EPG for cable channels. With grabbing sat EPG from Enigma box and re-import back to cable channels - everything is clear and work perfect for me... Thank you .

I already share my grab publically.... 

 

With help from Willy i have been using openTV data on the vermin channels for a while (after the epg websites changed protocol i moved to opentv)

I only do UK mainland channels so the Irish users will have to use other options

Simply add the source below to etc - epgimporter

Reboot box and enable the new source.

sorry to ask a basic question, is the opentv epg obtained by the end user using satellite or fetchcd from the internet??

With Willys webgrab, openTV data is grabbed from the e2 box

the e2 box downloads off the 28.2 feeds for sat and we convert it for use on cable

Sorry, not the question I am asking, do ensd users get

Enduser downloads from website, so with the time involved gabbing and uploading the end user never quite gets the full 7 days epg like you would with sat

But it is better than the 5 days you get off the vermin feed (and more accurate imho) 

[Abu Baniaz]

IMO, the OP should just ask Willy to add his cable references. If Willy is already fetching the data, there will be no extra resource.

[doglover]

The Virgin cable references are included in the UK files.

But if people wants to do it this way, no problem with me.

 

I still find it a clumpsy method, but hay....

 

Although I think a simple modification to enigma2 in which you can define that for EPG some service refs should be taken from another ref should be programmeable.

You have then a replacement list like this:

1:0:1:2775:65:F020:FFFF0000:0:0:0:=1:0:1:18F7:7FD:2:11A0000:0:0:0:=BBC1 London
1:0:19:E75:25:F020:FFFF0000:0:0:0:=1:0:19:50E6:80F:2:11A0000:0:0:0:=ITV2 HD
etc....

You have linked the IPTV versions of the channels to the Telenet service refs of the channels.

This should normally work without further ado.  But....

this only works if you have these channels in the lamedb of your receiver.  You probably do not have this.

 

An alternative way is adding these channels (It are only 4 channels) to the custom.channels.xml file and add this file to the etc/epgimport/ folder on your receiver.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<channels>
<channel id="Be1.be">1:0:19:210:5:1:FFFF0000:0:0:0:http%3a//example.com</channel><!-- Be 1 -->
<channel id="Be1Plus1.be">1:0:1:2C1:7:1:FFFF0000:0:0:0:http%3a//example.com</channel><!-- Be 1+1h -->
<channel id="BeCine1.be">1:0:19:205:5:1:FFFF0000:0:0:0:http%3a//example.com</channel><!-- Be Ciné -->
<channel id="BeSeries.be">1:0:19:1F9:5:1:FFFF0000:0:0:0:http%3a//example.com</channel><!-- Be Séries -->
<channel id="BeSeries.be">1:0:19:386:9:1:FFFF0000:0:0:0:http%3a//example.com</channel><!-- Be Séries HD -->
</channels>

Put these in the file custom.channels.xml in etc/epgimport

And import again.
