Cooltvguide doesn`t provide EPG data. You need a different plugin for that, like CrossEPG or EPG-Importer.
-
Yes I already got CorssEPG installed but how can I configure it to read the IPTV channel bouqet that
was created?
-
Update rytec providers on the CrossEPG configuration menu > XMLTV providers > Select Rytec IPTV > Download EPG and save.
-
I dont see that option. I can select Rytec providers as a seperate option from the main menu. There is no
Rytec under XMLTV providers to select. The Rytec providers option has no selections. I have version 0.82
and also crossepg downloader installed.

I have version 0.82
and also crossepg downloader installed
The version of CrossEPG i`m using is 0.8.5. Maybe You need to update the plugin to get the rytec provider option.
-
Where can I find this version that works with my DM8000
Enigma2 box?
-
Which image are you using? Name and version/date please.
-
I use OpenPLi 4
-
I presume that you are using an official PLI image. Can you install EPG importer?
Note:
Rytec EPG data will come from the same website, whether you download it using EPG importer or Cross EPG downloader (XMLTV provider)
-
Yes its the official image and I might upgrade again to OpenPLi 6.1 but they no longer have
the plug in files for Crossepg or epg importer available. Only in OpenPli4 do they still have
crossepg but non of the other needed files. I did find crossepg v 0.83 through another source
but I dont have the epg importer.
-
Why do you need CrossEPG?
What EPG data do you want to get? (Get and show are two different things)
EPG importer is and will be available to OpenPLI for a very long time. They make most of the changes to it.
-
I am currently use it in conjunction with CoolTV guide to get the FTA channel epg data through the epg downloader.
Now I got an IPTV service and I like to get EPG data for those channels and then I dont need the FreeTV sat channels anymore
-
CoolTV guide does not get any EPG data.
It just shows the EPG data in a particular way. OpenPLI have their own built in EPG screens. You don't actually need CoolTV guide if you want to use a Graphical EPG. You can use button setup to change which screen opens when you press the EPG button.
As mentioned earlier, the XMLTV EPG data is hosted on websites. It does not matter whether you download using CrossEPG downloader or EPG importer. OpenPLI hate CrossEPG downloader. So you might as well as forget it and use the plugin they like and maintain (EPG Importer).
-
Thanks for your help, how can I get the EPG data for my IPTV channels ? I like the graphics of the cooltv guide
and only used crossepg because of the sat channels. What do I need to get a IPTV guide working? Where can
I find the epg importer?
-
Where can
I find the epg importer?
Give this a try.
-
you wont get ant epg unless the service ref of the stream match any data from either cross epg or epg importer, the epg has to from who ever you got the iptv from,
if you use say suls plugin that will make the bouquets and give you the xml needed to use epgimporter
you can also use echanneliser to manually match up any epg thats been downloaded from epgimporter
with out using any of these chances of getting any guide is zero
next question would be how did you create the iptv bouquets??
-
Thank you so much, I created the bouquet with the script from the IPTV provider that I run on
the DM8000. It has thousands of channels and I used echannelizer to delete most of it that I dont
use. The IPTV provider does not offer any EPG service.
-
Can you post a sample of your bouquet file? Edit out any sensitive data.
-
Where is that file located?
