Auto timer or Auto Search


Recommended Posts

Is it possible to run the AutoTimer or AutoSearch Timer every hour ?

 

The problem is that for some provider i dont have a full egp program list, they send via egp only 3 titles.

 

Thank you

How about using a TV grabber and import the results with XEPG...in that way you will get at least a full weeks EPG for all channels?

Thank you majstang.

 

Now my EPG is grabbed using XMLTV and added to DVBVewer via XEPG.

 

But i have a problem with 1 channel.

 

RAI4 (Italy), is grabbed correctly and if i check the EPG using DVBViewer everything is right, but in Recording Service that EPG's Channel is empty.

 

Any Idea ?

 

DVBViewer is setted to import EPG via DVB Recording Service.

So, which grabber are you using?

If EPG in RS has an empty channel the one you see in DVBViewer client is an old EPG not updated yet from RS.

Are you sure this empty channel exist in the xmltv grabber output file? Please doublecheck it. Also to see if

EPG update works (all settings is made correct) from RS to DVBV you can delete the EPG.dat in DVBV config folder (CMUV-->DVBViewer),

not the EPG.dat in CMUV-->DVBViewer-->config folder though (that's the one for RS).

 

ADD:

When checking the xmltv output file it is not enough the channel missing from RS EPG are listed in the beginning of file...you have to check if any shows got scrubbed for this channel further down in the output file.

If you have show scrubbings for RAI4 and this channel is still missing from RS EPG then it's time to check the XEPG channel pairings...it's quite easy making misstakes here.

Last step is to get RS to DVBViewer update to work and for that you have the settings and update button on DVBV-->Options-->Recording Service tab. First press "test connection"...if successful the settings are correct. Then press "Update EPG".

In Rai4, u can see few EPG data (Not grabbed, but sent via DDT when Tuned to RAI4) But i want update that channel via XMLTV so i can have EPG for 1 week.

 

Other channel as RAI2 or Sky Italia are working as well.

Assessing from your postings it seem you got the XEPG parings for RAI4 correct. Then you have to focus on your grabber and the output it produces. As it seem to be now, you only have the provider EPG for RAI4...which means XMLTV does not grab anything for RAI4.

 

When checking the xmltv output file it is not enough if the channel missing from RS EPG are listed in the beginning of file...you have to check if any shows got scrubbed for this channel further down in the output file.

U mean the XML I got from the grabber right ?

3 days , and i've created XML file few minutes ago.

 

As you can see in the xml , seem that Rai4 is grabbed..

Hmm..this is a hard one for sure! If you have other channels working when importing the .xml in to RS EPG then you must have the connection settings in XEPG-->Options-->Recording Service tab correct. Maybe if you inactivate the XEPG-->Options-->General-->Delete old EPG prior to import, things could go better. This option have been causing trouble before, but not for single channels as far as i know.

 

Also, there could be a good idea asking about this issue in the XEPG thread if you don't find any solution.

 

ADD:

When things like this happens for me i usually Unpair all channels in XEPG and saves it and close XEPG. Restart and redo the channel pairings again and applies it. Important to have the latest .xml file already done with the latest channellist. If doing any changes in the XMLTV grabber channellist the old pairings in XEPG can fail.

Tryed to delete EPG.DAT RS and DVBV.

Unpaired all Channel (apply - exit)

Paired only RAI4 (Just to try), Applied and started RS again.

 

No EPG IMPORTED but the file EPG.dat has been re-created (300kb for rai4 EPG)

Can you make a screen dump of the RS task you are using for grab and import of EPG?

C:\Programmi\Xepg\Xepg.exe" -xGrabThenImport

 

But now, trying to fix the issue, im using TEST IMPORT in XEPG.

If deleting EPG.dat for RS manually and then doing the grab/import i often have to stop service and restart it to make the new EPG.dat to stick. Avoid deleting it manually if you can. RS will give you trouble when doing that.

 

C:\Programmi\Xepg\Xepg.exe" -xGrabThenImport

For the RS EPG update task:

Try C:\Programmi\Xepg\Xepg.exe without the " in Filename box.

In Parameters box use -xGrabThenImport

 

maybe a bug in XMLTV RAI4 Script ? and the XML created is not compatible ?

No, i don't think so! The format of the grabbings you have showed me so far is correct. You can always try using WebGrab++ instead (this software automatically runs in hidden mode if executed from an RS task), but it is more likely this issue is settings related in either RS or XEPG.

Yes, it can be! I don't know how it works in detail for RS EPG.dat and the exact format it requires, but maybe it can't handle when starttime for the next show is the stoptime for the previous show. Good spotting...i didn't see it :blush:

Try WebGrab++ just to see what happens :)

Link to comment

ok, using WEBGRAB++ i can add RAI4 EPG without any problem..

 

Thank you Majstang :)

 

Now i'll study how to set this new grabber :)
