Yep, I already have a curl/jq setup to get what's coming up on a channel using an advanced pass as a template. With jq I can select unique shows and movies and just see the titles instead of every time slot.
I wouldn't want to do it using this guide method as it returns so much data.
i paid i believe like less than 30 bucks, for epgbestc.om gives you about 250 with epg for a year still better than cable or cheaper in that case
also iptveditor.com provides a pretty cheap XMLTV format EPG. Irs only like 12 or 13 bucks for the year or something. I tried epg-best and found that I was still missing the data for the same channels I was with my epg from my provider. and it Ultimately made my provider have a small anuerism seeing that their were updates and changes to the m3u link he had given out. In fact, it was announced that their would no longer be any m3u lists handed out. I left that service. apparently he must have had a poor reseller deal, probably 3rd or 4th man type deal and the updates did something. I would not have used it if A.)I had been told not to, or B) nthe Epg i was provided worked worth a damn. I dont know why this seems to be so difficuly for services to get down pat. Take Philo, thats an IPTV service, yet their guide is good. And Channels DCR, Great guide, but apparently not XMLTV? or XMLTV-TOPSCRET?
If I could integrate m3u lists that IO create using my own media I would be a semi happy man. Which is huge for me
DO IT! let me use my quatro! Telly is it? yikes its too much crazies my friends Too Much!
Thank you for the tip! I did not know there was an API url for the guide info. I coded a PHP file to parse the JSON on the fly to a very basic XMLTV output. It seems to be working ok. My only concern with it is that the session cookie expires after 30 days so my XMLTV php file will need to be manually maintained by updating this session string.
I want to use TiviMate also, any ideas?
Is it possible to get 24 hours ?
Yes, change the duration parameter to 86400 (60 secs * 60 mins * 24 hours)
@tmm1 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS! Christmas has come early!!!!
Thanks will try that ... and thanks to the Channels DVR team ... much appreciated.
Do you know if the export is limited to 10K programs? I used duration=259200 (3 days) and 1209600 (14 days) but they both cap out at 10,000.
Could be. I will check.
Increased limit in new build.
May I ask what is the limit now ?
500k
I have been having issues getting consistent results. Haven't had the time to track it down. Changing the limit seems to have solved it for me. Got 7 days of data for all (except pluto of course),
Now it is time to play around!
Thank you!
Would it be possible to add the <previously-shown> tag to the XMLTV feed for episodes that are repeats?
As some background, I'm using Channels as a tuner for NextPVR, and since I have to pay you all annually to do that, I thought I'd use your guide data instead of Schedules Direct (to save me $25 a year). I'm able to import everything into NextPVR using the M3U and XMLTV urls, but old episodes of series are showing as new episodes (and thus being scheduled to record) because the XMLTV feed lacks the information to tell NextPVR whether the episode is new. It's not a huge deal, as eventually everything will be marked as recorded or canceled, but it does mean scheduled recordings I have for only new episodes are just any episode.
The tag can be empty (i.e. <previously-shown />) or include the original air date (<previously-shown start="20101010" />), but it should only be present if the show is actually a repeat.
Thanks.
We use <new /> on all new airings. Is that not supported by NextPVR?
This appears to be a problem with NEXTPVR as Emby does not have that problem. Maybe ask Sub to look at this.
Thanks for that information. The examples I had (and posted in the NextPVR forum) didn't have <new /> (because they weren't new), so we didn't think to check that. NPVR does support the new tag from Schedules Direct feeds, so I think I know what I need to ask him in terms of an XMLTV feed.
Just to get some closure on this, I posted something on the NextPVR forum, and sub said that NextPVR does support the <new> tag, but because of the variations in XMLTV feeds, it was set to only support it for feeds with certain header types. He's added the Channels header to the group that supports the <new> tag for the next version. Thanks again for the info and help on this.
