EPG for Poland

beyo77 · April 11, 2020, 7:03pm

I remember being a tester for Channels app on Apple TV in Poland. I think it was over 2 years ago. Then EPG existed although just for one day. Devs used my help to correct epg data and name channels correctly.

I found old antenna in the closet and try now HD Home Run Connect but even when I choose Poland as country I cannot search for any provider because its blank. I am testing on iPad. Later can test on Apple TV.

Also my HDHomeRun shows currently 23 channels

but on web interface I always see 7

Follow-up. Channels finally get info about 23 channels however only 11 working. Another problem is I used guide.xml file for xmtlv and even when loaded I don't see content in the guide. xml file is correct I loaded it into plex server and data are displayed correctly.

Does your xmltv file have <lcn> tags?

Good point, I don't see anywhere such tags. I grabbed guide.xml from this guide

I tried add LCN by hand to the xml file - same result

Follow-up. I found another epg, unfortunately also without LNC tags. I see program information on EPG on Apple TV client, but I cannot record

You need the beta for xmltv recording functionality.

But i am on beta. I updated server with shift pressed.
Is there any XMLTV rules that Channels enforce to proper working? for example channel id must be without spaces?

You need the beta app on your Apple TV

Where can I apply for beta access in testflight?
That still not explain why on server I see blank rows in guide, tough

getchannels.com/beta is used for TestFlight access

I'm guessing your xmltv file is using some character encoding which is not working. Please email the xmltv file to [email protected] and also click Help > Submit Diagnostics on the DVR web UI.

Ok I sent the logs, and try to test beta version

tmm1 · April 13, 2020, 7:38pm

In the logs its showing no channel mappings, usually this happens because the lcn tags are missing.

Can you click the pencil icon under your HDHR, then click pencil icon on the right side of a channel and screenshot what is shown.

I think I added lcn tag by hand to one channel. the result will be i am afraid the same.

tmm1 · April 13, 2020, 8:10pm

That doesn't look right. Does the HDHR Connect have XMLTV assigned to it?

beyo77 · April 13, 2020, 8:13pm

yes but I cannot make assignment now, I don't see "edit" option wtf
Should I delete xmltv source and try again? or maybe delete HDHomerun and try to re-add it? I put it on my hosting here

tmm1 · April 13, 2020, 8:34pm

I'm not sure what you did. When I add the xmltv here on my HDHR it shows the picker and lets me assign channels.

beyo77 · April 13, 2020, 8:39pm

I had previously something similar. Now I re-added HDHomeRun, re-scan channels. Now I see something like this

Started to associate channels (exept tvp3 which i dont have listing for )

Re-scanned xmltv source

and this is the result,
my mind is blowing up

beyo77 · April 13, 2020, 9:15pm

i have only that... Ok, now we're getting into something. I switch to https://epg-polska.net/guide.xml

and I have the same list of channels. I see this because I have only TVP3 Poznan. So is this possible that this new link is not accepted at all because the old one is still cached somehow?

tmm1 · April 13, 2020, 9:26pm

Neither of the xmltv files you linked has that channel, so I'm not sure where that's coming from. Did you try another different xmltv too?
