Open EPG to DVB Viewer

[Zazza]

Re download guys I have repaired it.

 

It does work now I have tested it.

 

I'm starting to think I'm missing something. I can't see any channel in the channel list...

 

Here's the log:

[DJBlu]

Right click and save as (your browser cache will have the old file)

 

http://www.borntoshare.co.uk/downloads/click.php?id=3

 

Then extract to a folder.

 

Make sure you delete the Channels.xml and EPG.xml files

 

Then run the program.

 

It will work m8.

Hmm... I've alraedy done those steps more and more. I really dunno what to think and can't understand why the channel list is not created.

Are there some kind of requirements for DVBViewer (aside from tuning to the right EPG channel)? I mean, could my DVBViewer channel list be the culprit?

It shouldn't matter. Have you set the region to "No Region"?

[Zazza]

Yep. I've always set "No Region".

[pietro.tiberi]

Yep. I've always set "No Region".

 

 

It doesn't work...channels.xml is still empty!!

 

what am i missing? do i need to specitfy DVBViewer folder location? (there is no place for this in the GUI!!!!)

 

Are you shure you tested it? the staus bar say: 444 channels found.....but there are no channels !!!

 

Please could you provide a working release?

 

Thanks

[Tjod]

Which DVBViewer Version do you use?

May be Open EPG to DVBViewer ues some functions which only exists in newer versions of the DVBViewer.

Stop with the !!!

 

I will help but u getting angry isn't going to speed me up.

 

What Language do you use in the settings? German, Italian, French or English?

What version of DVBViewer are you using?

There is no need to specify the Folder as I took that out in the RC.

Is the EPG.xml file empty too?

Are you using Vista or XP? If vista do you have User Access Control enabled?

[dvbrewer]

Everyone who does not have this working, I take you have installed and correctly configured the Netstreaming plugin as Open EPG to DVBViewer will not work without this?

 

This will work for me but I have to disable Kaspersky virus to download, unzip and run this programme- can anyone advise how I can stop Kaspersky trying to delete it?

Re-download the file, it should work.

[dvbrewer]

Re-download the file, it should work.

Unfortunately Kaspersky still kills it . I tried to add the prog to the trusted zone but as soon as I even open the folder it will delete it as PE Patch virus? I can still workaround as long as I pause protection when I want to run it- only problem is when I do a full scan I will have to delete and redownload .

Well DJ... Seems everything's working right now...

I'll check it in the weekend and keep you informed if I'll encounter any problems.

I'm using DVBViewer 4.0 but I don't see any voice "netstream" in my plugin list.

Moreover I don't see it in member section.

 

So I cannot use this software to set up EPG.

I think it is an option when you install, so you need to run the installer again and tick netstream plugin.

[deggesim]

Ok, relaunched setup, installed netstream plugin, now everything works flawlessly!

Congratulations to the author!

Last week it worked well.

I wanted to update my epg for upcoming week but it seems there is some issue.

 

Any advice?

The easy fix for this is to delete the EPG.xml and then run the program.

 

I think I have identified the problem so I will when I have time upload a fix.

[deggesim]

I had to delete also channel.xml to let it work again

[dvbrewer]

Here's a logopack I just put together for all UK FTA (Freesat, Freesatfromsky, Freeview) TV & radio channels- hope someone finds it useful .

 

EDIT: just to add, if you have satellite, for BBC 1/One, BBC 2/Two and ITV1 you may need to change the filename of the logo to match your region, if you want more regions just make duplicates (copy & paste). The size of the UK logopack is 3.2MB.

Hi DJBlu, having problems currently saving my channels in OpenEPGtoDVBViewer right now I have to select them when I do my weekly grab.

 

Cheers

[Rob100]

Lars / DJBlu - has any progress been made on getting this to work through the recording service.

 

I'm guessing that this was possibly a solution?

http://www.DVBViewer.info/forum/index.php?...st&p=237094

[themaster1]

I'm in trouble with this plugin OpenEPgDVBViewer.exe

 

I have set the netstream plugin like this:

Active (Unicast)

address ip: 127.0.0.1 (localhost)

port: 2345

Stream control: stream whole transponder

 

 

 

I tuned in to the channel IEPG data 1 and i can hear the audio (nothing on the other though: EPG Background Audio.)

 

Then, when i run OpenEPgDVBViewer.exe , enter the ip 127.0.0.1 (localhost) port 2345 and try a 'Run Update" i get the following message:

Error - DVBViewer NetStream IP and or Port not set, please correct

Don't know if this is of any use to you but I could never get this working while recording service was running. Try stopping recording service if you have it installed. But then you have to change your hardware settings in DVBViewer. Then change them back after the update. Then start the recording service. Was all too much for me, especially as 99% of the channels I watch are on the Freesat EPG anyway.

 

Has anyone got this working properly with the recording service?

 

PS But it does look like you're tuning the wrong channel. You need the EPG Background Audio channel.

May i ask what is "recording service" ?? I don't see such option

[Tjod]

[themaster1]

My problem seems related to the NetStream plugin and not the "recording service"

Which address do you use personnally ? Localhost (127.0.0.1)....or WHAT ?

Did you select stream whole transponder in netstream > stream control? Make sure you make it active, then tune to EPG Background Audio on 11778V. In OpenEPG to DVBViewer in settings make sure 127.0.0.1 is in DVB Netstream IP Address, then click EPGViewer tab, click Run EPG Update .

[themaster1]

That's exactly what i did but it won't work

[dvbrewer]

That's exactly what i did but it won't work

Are you still tuning into IEPG data 1, if so that won't work. If you have settings input in both DVBViewer and OpenEPG and you make sure netstream is set to active (it won't work if you just configure), then maybe it could be your firewall interfering. I had my own problems running this on Windows 7, it seems it won't update unless I delete Channels.xml and EPG.xml each time.

[themaster1]

I tune to the right channel & my firewall is disabled.

Where is located epg.xml ?

[dvbrewer]

I tune to the right channel & my firewall is disabled.

Where is located epg.xml ?

In the folder where OpenEPGtoDVBViewer is located.

[buttonsNI.]

i found i too could not get this app to connect using the 127.0.0.1 unicast way

 

my workaround is first stop the recording service

then open the cmuv/DVBViewer folder and delete epg.dat

also open the cmuv/DVBViewer/config folder and delete epg.dat there aswel

then open DVBViewer and configure the tuner back to manual

tune in EPG Background Audio.

start Open EPG to DVBViewer configure with your ip address and port

make sure netstream is configured the same

then run Open EPG to DVBViewer updater

when finished reconfigure your tuner back to unicast

close the viewer

go to cmuv/DVBViewer folder and copy the New epg.dat file into cmuv/DVBViewer/config folder

restart your pc

 

this will update the recording service web interface epg page but only for the channels that are your DVBViewer channel list

 

this works but remember before each time you run Open EPG to DVBViewer you need to delete the Channels.xml and EPG.xml inside the Open EPG to DVBViewer directory

 

good luck

[themaster1]

I found a better way to get the epg infos for Freesat chans

see here

 

This tutorial is in french though

 

You need mc2xml and Xepg (also known as AutoImportXml)

First you get the infos with mc2xml then you import them with Xepg

 

I have uploaded the two apps [link removed, it is not allowed to distribute Xepg on other pages, set a link to the page from the author]

[packetstormer]

I am having trouble getting this to work. I turn on the NetStream plugin, set it to stream whole transponder, start the Update and the following appears in the log:

[packetstormer]

No, I should have said. I don't have the recording service enabled.

[dvbrewer]

You have to be tuned into the audio channel 'EPG Background Audio', also make sure net stream is set to active and you have set a network interface and port address which must also be input into OpenEPGtoDVBViewer. Also you must use the main DVBViewer, not the BETA.

I have done all this, I should have mentioned this too. A connection won't even be made unless the background audio channel is open. From the log you can see it gets a connection but nothing more. Everything suggested in this whole thread I have tried . Is there any debug options?
