This are 2 things:

 

First: The wrong schedule.

Indeed these service refs are linked to the wrong EPG.  This happens when somebody gives me the service ref and say it is ITV1.
I do not live in the UK, so I cannot check.

Corrected these.

 

Secondly:  No descriptions

There are descriptions in the XMLTV file.

If you do not have them on your receiver, a reason could be you are not importing them.
In the config screen of the EPGimport plug-in, set the import of description for 7 days (or any value you want).

Setting this to 0 will skip the import of the descriptions.

Hi Willy,

 

Thanks for fixing the service refs.

 

Regarding the missing description, it's not that I'm not seeing it across all channels, it's only these ITV channels. All other channels are fine and give the full description.

 

I've just download today's rytecUK_Basic xml file and I can see lots of entries with "Description not available, although a few of them do have a description:

 So I don't think it's my config.

[doglover]

I did not notice these shows.  Indeed if it is just with this channel, it could be in the grabbing process.

Although in the used grabber definition, no text "Description not available" is being defined.  It comes from the webpage used.

 

The reason is here:  https://www.freeview...8&region=London

 

or:  https://www.freeview.co.uk/tv-guide

And it is only on the London pages.  Other regions are just fine.

 

The only thing I can do is grab another website.  But is a pain in the behind.

 

Willy

 

PS:  a new grab is running, from granada for the channels not from london.  And for the london channels from another website

Edited by doglover, 5 December 2018 - 14:12.

[renzz]

I think there is something very wrong with that Freeview website as I can't get it to list any programmes for any region.

 

I'll check tomorrow for the London listings - thanks again.

[renzz]

ITV and ITV+1 are now correctly showing ITV London News in the listings, and the Descriptions seem to be there for every programme.

 

However, ITV HD is still showing ITV Anglia as the local news, and I think it's because there are two similar entries in the Channels file for it:

 

Line 13857: <!-- Cable --><channel id="ITV1Anglia.uk">1:0:1:28A4:68:F020:FFFF0000:0:0:0:</channel><!-- ITV HD -->
Line 13884: <!-- Cable --><channel id="ITV1London.uk">1:0:19:28A4:68:F020:FFFF0000:0:0:0:</channel><!-- ITV HD -->

The service ref isn't exactly the same, so would that be the cause?

[doglover]

Yes, this is the cause.

Will remove the anglia one.

 

Willy

[doglover]

The freeview webpages are OK again.

[Abu Baniaz]

He needs the correct service references.

If references are no longer applicable (and correct ones exist too) just ask him to delete the not applicable ones.

Sent from my Moto G (5S) using Forum Fiend v1.3.3.

[doglover]

OK.  Changed.

Except:  Love Nature 1:0:1:57C:E:F020:FFFF0000:0:0:0:  No EPG found not even on Virgin.

 

Willy

[WanWizard]

Horror Channel +1 (1:0:1:D7B2:840:2:11A0000:0:0:0:) has the EPG of Horror Channel, so it is running one hour early.

[doglover]

Sorry, my fault  (and freeview).

There will be a couple more channels which have this problem  (ITV3+1, ITV4+1, ITV2+1, Home+1)

At a certain point I had to change the grab to the granada region instead of the london region.
And the granada grabber did not contain the +1 statements.

 

Fixed.

 

Willy

[WanWizard]

Hadn't noticed that, but yes, those too...

[WanWizard]

Home and Home+1 have the same problem, as do Food Network and Food Network +1, Challenge and Challenge +1, ITV BE and ITV BE +1, More4 and More4 +1  

[doglover]

Indeed.  Checked a couple this morning, and it should be fixed now.

[doglover]

I started on the list above, and checked 3 channels

 

<!-- UK Virgin --> <!-- Cable --> <channel id=" 4Seven.uk "> 1:0:19:AF5:1C:F020:FFFF0000:0:0:0: </channel><!--  4seven HD  -->

<!-- UK Virgin --> <!-- Cable --> <channel id=" AnimalPlanet.uk "> 1:0:19:DB0:23:F020:FFFF0000:0:0:0: </channel><!--  Animal Planet HD  -->

<!-- UK Virgin --> <!-- Cable --> <channel id=" BBC4.uk "> 1:0:19:901:17:F020:FFFF0000:0:0:0: </channel><!--  BBC Four  -->

<!-- UK Virgin --> <!-- Cable --> <channel id=" CartoonNetwork.uk "> 1:0:19:D4C:22:F020:FFFF0000:0:0:0: </channel><!--  Cartoon Network HD  -->

 

These are present.  Except for the 1:0:19

The 19 here indicates it is a HD channel.  You have all 1:0:1:  (which is wrong - you probably imported a dodgy setting list)

 

This is a common problem.  It also tells me you have the option enabled:  Import only EPG for channels in bouquets.

Set this option to no and you will have EPG on most channels.

Hi Willy,

 

There seems to be a problem with anything using "ITV1london.uk" showing "Description not available" again for most (but not all) programmes. This is affecting channels such as ITV HD (London), ITV, ITV+1.I know before it was the Freeview site that was broken but that seems ok now and is returning descriptions for all programmes. Are you scraping the EPG from a different source now?
