EPG entry for unknown channel


Recommended Posts

Posted

I experienced strange behavior when trying to use the API.
Background: I reactivated a Windows 10 PC that was in use as a media server until about a year ago to avoid damaging my active media server settings with my API attempts.
This "old" PC has this version:  <version iver="50463232" ires="0">DVBViewer Media Server 3.2.2.0 (WINSERVER)</version>.

In any case, I downloaded the EPG data and channels via

curl http://winserver:8089/api/epg.html?lvl=2 > epg.xml and
curl http://winserver:8089/api/getchannelsxml.html > channels.xml

And in doing so, I received EPG data whose channel ID had no equivalent in channels.xml.
Even when searching in the search window (Web GUI), I couldn't find sample programs that were in the EPG (see screenshot).
Where could this EPG data come from? I don't use any external service or import, I just use the MediaServer for this.
The example data set is here:
<programme start="20250726065500" stop="20250726074000" channel="563521184333847"><eventid>44683</eventid><content>21</content><charset>255</charset><titles><title>Die Rosenheim-Cops</title></titles><events><event>Konkurrenz erlegt das Geschäft</event></events><descriptions><description>15.

You will find the xml data here (too big for the forum) https://onedrive.live.com/?redeem=aHR0cHM6Ly8xZHJ2Lm1zL2YvYy9kZmUzZWYwYjZmMmM3YmQwL0VwczJ3ZXA4WGlGS3NweHJ4aEhMU2VNQl9OcjZCTnIzc2JzMlgzSk5yRnlGbXc_ZT1HNmEwWjE&id=DFE3EF0B6F2C7BD0!seac1369b5e7c4a21b29c6bc611cb49e3&cid=DFE3EF0B6F2C7BD0

FYI wondering why you post in English as your content is German. The main part of this forum is in German Language 😉 if you perhaps missed that 😄

This is the EPGChannelID of Sky Krimi, Astra 19,2° East, 12032 H, BetaDigital. Obviously not in your channel list, but the EPG broadcasted on this transponder is scanned by your Media Server, because there is at least one channel from this transponder in your list, or from another (BetaDigital) transponder that also broadcasts EPG data for 12032 H.

 

563521184333847 =  Hex 0002 0085 0004 0017 -> 

ServiceID = 0x0017 = 23

TransportStreamID = 0x0004 = 4 -> 12032 H

NetworkID=0x0085 = 133 -> BetaDigital

Tuner Type=0x0002 -> Satellite

 

I did a full scan with TransEdit and sorted the results by TSID. That's how I found out... :)
