Hi,

My source for import has one channel that for sone reason is shifted by 20 minutes.

Is there a way to shift the times by 20 minutes back to fix this error?

[doglover]

Can you give me some explanations on how this happens?

Do you use your own grabs?  Or do you import our Rytec sources?

 

Is the the data in the XMLTV file correct, and happens the error during import?  Or is the XMLTV already shifted for 20 minutes?

I grab the data from israeli HOT website. One channel there has wrong times.

It is the Food Network.

If a program starts really at 10:00, on the HOT list it shows as starts at 10:20.

I would like to correct it during the grab to shit by 20 min

If you are using WG++ you can do two things.

First make a separate Sitiini where you correct the time.  But this is probably too complicated.

 

The second method is bit simpler.
First grab the schedule as it on the website.  And then make-up a schedule with an offset

f.i. (an example from my config files)

<channel update="i" site="comingsoon.it" site_id="sky-cinema-uno" xmltv_id="SkyCinemaUno.it">Sky Cinema Uno</channel>
<channel same_as="SkyCinemaUno.it" offset="1" xmltv_id="SkyCinemaUnoPlus1.it">Sky Cinema Uno +1</channel>

In this example the offset is 1 hr.

 

If you want it 20 min earlier then use:

<channel update="i" site="comingsoon.it" site_id="sky-cinema-uno" xmltv_id="SkyCinemaUno.it">Sky Cinema Uno</channel>
<channel same_as="SkyCinemaUno.it" offset="-0.3333333334" xmltv_id="SkyCinemaUno(-20m).it">Sky Cinema Uno (-20 m)</channel>

PS:  Import the correct schedule

Thx, will check it out

On the second solution, the two channel statements need to run together or can I run the second in a separate run?

[doglover]

They have to be run together in the same config file.  With the same-as statement behind the the actual grab statement,

works as designed - thanks
