In fact it is very simple if you want to do this.

 

Merge the <title> and the <subttitle> tag into the title filed on the receiver and you are done.

Sorry to keep asking noob questions, but how exactly would I do this on my gigablue box?

Is this a simple process for me to do if I install OpenEPG plugin to my gigablue box? Total noob here so not sure about how to write scripts.

It is quite simple to do this in the loader routines of the Plugin, the XMLTV Raw data should only contain what is really there from the provider.

 

I therefore added this 'Feature' to my OpenEPG Plugin for DreamOS Images with only a few lines of code. You just need to scan the detailed description for some specific strings and then extract the necessary season/episode info and add it to the title text before you load it to EPG database.

 

If you want I can post you these few lines so that you get a basic idea how easy it is to implement.

Sorry for the noob questions (I know nothing when it comes to scripting and coding) can you explain how I can get this on my GiGaBlue HD 800 Quad Plus box?

I don't care which epg grabber I use as long as it has the episode info in titles as you describe.

Should I get a different image on my box which can download this version of OpenEPG or how would I go about this? Images for the gigablue are limited but I could buy a new box if I have to, I'll do anything to get this feature back again it was really quite valuable to me.

Ah yes you are right, it was an old image causing problem, new image has no problem.

But still we no longer get the episode numbers combined in the titles any more ever since I last mentioned it some months ago... I do wonder why this change happened, why it's now the basic title only in the listings (with just the eit file having the episode numbers) which is no different than basic open-sky broadcast :/

So all recorded files and listings are named the same in the list, having to select each one individually to show the episode info, kinda lame to take a step back in technology like this (even if it was an unintended improvement).

But thanks anyway, a basic listings EPG is better than no EPG

Hey, can I get a status update on rytec sources please? I re-flashed with another image that used to work well with crossepg and tried various versions of crossepg but it always says "cannot retrieve rytec sources" now, when trying to "update rytec providers" from the config menu.

If there is no support for updating these servers officially, can we get the servers URL's so I can update the settings manually.

thanks

They are normally on-line.

Right... so are we ever getting back the UK TV listings? I'm missing some great shows
