  • Back to the conversation.

    In fact I don't understand why you don't want to do like epgimport plugin work. With this plugin you have to select some rytec sources and others. And the epgimport plugin load the epg for each xml checked. So you can have as you want a number of different epg for the same playlist.


    If e2m3u2b will stay in this state I will use it only for pluto tv and samsung sources running the plugin each 2 hours. For the rest I will be back to epgimport running once a day.

  • I don't understand

    Because I have explained to you earlier that the logic of one playlist that contains tvg-id for different XMLTVs can lead to significant errors in determining whether the EPG belongs to one channel or another, your case of Pluto and Samsung TV is a special case (exception). But in the general case - the algorithm used in EPGImoprt plugin can and will lead to errors in receiving EPG data

  • It's the case with rytec sources too.

    If we take into account the algorithm of importing events from EPG, then yes, it has this bug.... No one guarantees you that there are no identical channrelID in the channels.xml files (files of correspondence between channelID and serviceRef)... Now imagine that you have a playlist with German channels and you set two EPG sources - German and Austrian ...


    In German channels.xml -> cannel=12345<some_serviceREF>: ARD

    In Austrian channels.xml -> cannel=12345<some_serviceREF>: Das Erste


    All ... this is already enough to guarantee that you have the wrong EPG will be selected.


    if this combination is not there now, it does not mean that “the problem is solved” ... As soon as such a combination appears in any of the several sources you have selected EPG import algorithm in EPGImport plugin will fail... Moreover=) If you notice an incorrect selection of events for any channel in the channel selector GUI, you will immediately start to write in the plugin topic that the EPG is incorrectly picked up :upside down face:

  • All ... this is already enough to guarantee that you have the wrong EPG will be selected.

    I'm wrong, though. In this case, the “workaround” of this bug is solved by using two different channels.xml files... i.e. you have a different channels.xml for each EPG ... And in case you have one m3u file, it is not clear how automatically create TWO different channels.xml for tvg-id of different XMLTVs ... What is the criterion that allows understanding that this channel should be searched in EPG1, and this channel in EPG2?


    Suggest a universal criterion and I will write the code. The condition should be one thing - it should apply to ANY playlist, not just two specific ones you have...

    In rytec sources it's not possible, we have 2 distinct tvg-id, ard.de, dasreste.de

    Yes of course, to any playlist.

    Exactly! You have TWO different correspondence files for channels and channelIDs

    Yes of course, to any playlist.

    That was a question for you =) How do you see the logic of determining in the same playlist the ability to separate some channels for one EPG, and others for another, third, fourth, etc. ? In other words, how can channels from the same playlist be automatically “spread” to different channels.xml?


    I'll explain one last time.

    Here's my playlist suppose it has two EPG sources

    Code
    #EXTM3U url-tvg="http://epg.one/xml.gz,https://epg.two/epg/epg.xml.gz"                                                           
    #EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="10435",Первый (HD ready)                    
    https://some.link/1tvdash.mpd                                                                       
    #EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="10435",360° (HD)                             
    https://some.link/playlist.m3u8 

    How can I determine which of these EPG sources the channels in the playlist belong to when parsing them automatically? In EPGImport plugin you create such dependencies manually by making TWO different match files for each of the EPG sources ... HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO DO IT AUTOMATICALLY ON A CONCRETE EXAMPLE?


    p.s. Just don't tell me that this situation is not possible, because I can give you a real example with real channels and real EPG sources... and more than one example.

  • I think the problem in you example doesn't exist. You are using a tvg-id 10435 for 2 different channels. I never see that anywhere even in not well coded m3u8.

  • I never see that

    This doesn't mean that someone won't make such a playlist and “slip” it into the plugin. Moreover, I have been repeatedly sent such playlists with the question - “Can you make EPG”. There are a lot of such “garbage” playlists on the Internet and a lot of people use them

    You didn't finish reading my post to you..... where it says at the end that I have REAL examples of playlists with these “strings”. I just took an example from an existing playlist and “trimmed” unnecessary lines and data leaving only what is immediately obvious and explaining what the problem is and why it is a stupid idea to make several different XMLTV (EPG) for one playlist

  • Hello,


    i have a problem with import right epg date but only for few channels.

    for example S.Y Cinema Premieren HD, S.Y Action HD and S.Y Cinema FAmily HD, they show wrong EPG.

    My box is octagon 4008, with openATV image 7.5.1 and IPTV bouquets maker ver. 1.9.8.


    In the past it works well but since one or two months there is this problem. Which information do you need?


    Thank you in advance.

  • i have a problem with import right epg date but only for few channels.

    Simply check the data for these channels in the EPG source you are using. The error is there, not in the plugin. Plugin algorithms work the same for any channels in XMLTV ... If there are errors in the description of programs or mismatches in the start time of certain programs on several channels - all questions to the source.EPG, or rather to the one who generates it.

    could you help to find where i can see the mistake?

    EPG source is h..p://epg.g-cdn.app/xmltv.xml.gz



    EDIT BY MODS: NO LIVE LINK PLEASE

  • h..p://epg.g-cdn.app/xmltv.xml.gz

    The EPG source you cited does not contain any data on the channels you listed above

    Code
     S.Y Cinema Premieren HD, S.Y Action HD and S.Y Cinema FAmily HD

    The closest channels that can be correlated with S.Y Action HD is

    Apparently, you have either given me the wrong channel names from the playlist you are using or you are using EPG which does not contain the channels you have listed. In order to understand what's wrong, I need your playlist... without tokens. Then I will be able to tell you more precisely what you are doing wrong, or you expect the impossible, or there is an error in the XMLTV data itself.


    p.s. By the way =) ... which of the channels I have given above from your EPG should be considered similar to SKY Action HD and why?

    Code
    Sky Cinema Action HD Orig
    Sky Cinema Action HD UK
    Sky Sports Action HD


    What is the criterion of similarity?


    In terms of plugin code... More specifically any of the “similarity” search algorithms used in the plugin, would be

    Code
    Sky Sports Action HD

  • hello,

    i mean the german channels:

    Sky Cinema Premieren HD

    Sky Action HD

    Sky Cinema Family HD


    i would like to send you the needful file, but i cannot find :see no evil monkey:

    Could you tell me where i will find the file, i use Open ATV Image 7.5.1

    All other channes works great and EPG Date is correct, only this 3 channels not.


    Thank you in advance.
