The rytec.sources.xml file and the costum.sources.xml are to my knowledge presented in reverse alphabetic order.

 

So try rename your custom,.sources.xml  to something like:

 

Xcustom.sources.xml

 

or even

 

Custom.sources.xml

 

You have to try a bit, to find the correct way.

Hello,

 

I don't know if a change has been recently made into epgimport code but I discovered something and I don't know if it's a bug.

 

Previously when a channel was added to custom.channels.xml this channel and the associated epg was the one integrated to epg.dat. Now this epg can be overwritten by another from another rytec source.

 

For example I added this line to my custom.channels.xml:

<channel id="BabyTV.fr">1:0:1:421D:2F44:13E:820000:0:0:0:</channel><!-- BABY TV FR -->

 

This serviceref is available in rytec.channels.xml with ids BabyTV.nl and BabyTV.pl, the french one is not listed but available in rytecFR_Mixte epg file.

 

So the prefered id I put in my cutom.channels.xml is overwritten by the last grab rytec source  (here rytecPL_Misc).

 

Do I make an error if I say that previously the content in custom.channels.fr was never overwritten by another id?

 

Hope I am clear.

 

Thanks for your help.

There is only one EPG per channel, so if you import multiple ones, the last one wins. This has always been the case, so maybe the order of processing on the box has changed?

[jeepcook]

Ok so how to do for service that have multiple epg, one per language. For my example Baby TV is diffused with the same serviceref in Deutsch, English, French, Dutch, Turkish, Polski, Spanish ! We can found multiple epg, at least dutch, pl and fr for this channel and I wand the one with id babytv.fr

 

thanks

Afaik the EPG system supports multiple languages, you can select a primary and secondary language in setup - system - A/V - auto language selection.

 

I don't know if the Rytec files specify a language, and/or if the epgimport plugin can import them.

Hello,

 

Thanks for your help, I've never seen this EPG language option !!

 

In my case et test with babytv, this doesn't work. I will take a closer look

 

[jeepcook]

@doglover, could you please add <channel id="BabyTV.fr">1:0:1:421D:2F44:13E:820000:0:0:0:</channel><!-- BABY TV FR --> to rytec.channels.xml

 

Thanks

[doglover]

The XMLTV files contains the language information.

Although I have never seen that EPGimport uses this information.  (Maybe something for a programmer to dive into....)

As to which info wins, when EPG is miltiple times imported for the same channel:

It has been always the case that the last imported wins.  Even when using the custom.channels.xml channels list.  This does not alter the order of import.

 

When you have a problem with this, you can edit the rytec,sources file and move the sourcecat which you want imported last (so it wins).

 

Added the the french EPG for Baby TV to the mentioned service ref.

Although, I also had to fix the grab for the actual schedule. (it was empty in the XMLTV file)

[jeepcook]

Ok thanks for all these informations and the fix for babytv. I know I can modify rytec.sources.xml sourcecat, but rytec.sources.xml and rytec.channels.xml are referential files so normaly we never have to modify them. That's why I always declare errors, missing ref... here in the forum. I think I will do a script to sort sourcecat order each time the source file has a new version.

One more bit of info:

 

BabyTV is in the misc files of the different countries.

So if you only download the Basic channels from these countries, you should be OK.

 

Mostly problems of this sort arise when you start importing all Misc files. 

My advise:  Be a bit selective when importing these misc files.  Do you really need/want all these channels?

BabyTV.fr is in rytecFR_Mixte so I have to mod rytec.sources.xml to have FR_Mixte processed after pl or nl.

 

Concerning to be selective when importing misc files, yes I'd like to be selective, but how ? In the sources selection we have one source Misc in the general section.

Add option load EPG(checking service reference(default)/only IPTV cha…

 

Your opinion is it necessary?

[WanWizard]

Just merged it, let me know if it needs reverting.

[Pr2]

I really don't understand what this PR does exactly.
I think a clean explanation with a concrete user case is needed.
I don't see any benefits to it now.

You can already load easily EPG for IPTV.
So I think a clear explanation for this PR is needed.

[doglover]

Agreed.  I am also puzzeled by this addition.

An example would make things more obvious.

[Dimitrij]

1)"all channels" resolve this problem(wrong name space)

https://forums.openp...dpost&p=1383400

2)"only IPTV channels" stop load EPG data for non IPTV channels

3)"checking service reference(default)" as it was before

[Pr2]

1) You solve it wrong. There is already an option in OpenPLi for this and it is mentionned in the ticket. So with an option to ignore the sub-service will do the trick.

But if you really want to solve it what must be done is add a check that will only igmore the last 4 chars of the name space and compare the rest of it instead of using the full name space.

So in fact checking the orbital position only and this will work for DVB-C and DVB-T too (FFFF and EEEE).

 

2) Why this option I really don't understand why you would like to load only IPTV it is a total non senses. If you want to go that way then do also create an entry to load only DVB to be logical with the option choices.

This is not at all the same("Ignore DVB-S namespace sub network").

Russian-speaking users who accept

Intelsat-15 / Horizons 2, 85.2°

suffering wrong namespace many years and because of this,  have to use another CROSSEPG plugin, which does not check namespace.

 

If you look closely at the code, you will see that the check goes through a dummy recordService

https://github.com/O.../plugin.py#L225

Which means checking /etc/enigma2/lamedb in the end.

 

And this new option is disabled by default.

If you don’t need it, it doesn’t mean that others don’t need it.

I am satisfied with the data of the DVB EPG of my provider, but for IPTV I need an EPG from the Internet.

Here is a variant of the oe-alliance for an example:

 

introduce new setting for importing IPTV channels only

[Pr2]

Yes but be consistent and then create import DVB only if can import IPTV only sounds logical to be able to perform the same action only for DVB.

[doglover]

You will run into problems with treating the namespace this way.

I have seen IPTV providers which use service ref like this:

<channel id="Canvas.be">4097:0:1:D2EE:4D83:EC:0:0:0:0:http%3a//</channel>
<channel id="een.be">4097:0:1:21CD:6D49:EC:0:0:0:0:http%3a//</channel>
