RSage seems to already have covered this, but I'll expand on it (thnx RSage ).
Quote:
- More data is obtained from the xmltv file. - It is configurable. Quote:
Create the following files in the SageTV directory: xmltv.properties Code:
configurations=xmltv1.properties,xmltv2.properties Code:
provider.name=Lineup in 1.xml
provider.id=1
xmltv.files=1.xml
Code:
provider.name=Lineup in 2.xml
provider.id=2
xmltv.files=2.xml
This should give you the same result as Nielm's plugin. However, since you asked this a month ago, you probably will have tripped over the lineup since then, and are now suffering from zombie channels. Quote:
I guess, I could add an option to add the channel number to the title or the episode name. But that also means that you will see that in the Sage interface. Maybe the people from Sage can oblige. |

The episode ID only seems to be used in determining if you have already watched a show. It is not even used for marking a show as don't like. Quote:
Since there is no accurate way to determine that these shows actually are the same this is how it should be. Otherwise all shows with the same title would be marked watched as soon as you have seen one of them even if those shows aren't actually the same. An exception to this would be if both the season and the episode number were available in the xmltv_ns. I haven't however coded that yet. |

You'll need to use the following lines: episode.name.add.episode.number=false episode.name.add.part.number=false Quote:
date.year.decoration={0,date,short} If you do not like the format of the date, try replacing short with something like dd-MM-yyyy. |

<channel id="48"> <display-name>BBC News 24</display-name> </channel> Maybe it is just a matter of the EPG updating again. Try disabling and then re-enabling a channel in the setup. |

Translate?
Ok thanks, I'll try it again - the channel information is as you indicated.
Also I'm trying to set up the category for news, however the category field in the xml file contains 'News and Current Affairs' so, with translate.category.News and Current Affairs=News it doesn't work. I'm assuming the spaces between the words are the issue and have tried News\and\........ and News/and/...... plus quotes around the string and even News and News* all to no avail. Any pointer would be gratefully received, it's not a show stopper but irritating now I've noticed it. Thank you for the plugin, very useful |

Thanks to this plugin and the XMLTV one for MT I can now pull in my listings for all channels off the satellite with ratings, categories, and PPV titles. Great job I did notice though that original air dates or years never seem to get picked up correctly (everything says 2006). I also noticed that episode names never get identified correctly. I am pulling in EPG data from 2 different sats in North America with identical results for both. Should this info be working correctly?

Thanks. I actually had tried thsi before, but my mistake was that I thought the category in SageTV was called 'Sports' and not 'Sports event'. Sorry, my mistake. But I have one more thing that has been there from the beginning that I use xmltv data. Some shows have a second title or a short description that my grabber puts into the episode name field. So I always have show called 'Zapp' with the episode title 'Das Medienmagazin'. Your plugin will always create the same showid for the show, but infact they are different 'episodes'. The same thing is true for 'tagesthemen' on weekends with the episode title 'mit Sport'. Would it be hard to implement something that would check the episode name tag for certain strings and just delete them please This would solve one of my two small problems I am still having. The other has to do with the source of my xmltv data, that they sometimes have overlapping shows in the shedule and sageTV will just display 'no information' instead of one of the entries. But it would be really difficult to always check each show for it overlapping with another show. Thanks again for your great plugin! Marne

Very odd!
I'm working with a clean install. I've installed the xmlvt plugin (Demideus' one) into the xmltv folder created under the sage folder. I've added the line epg/epg_import_plugin=xmltv.XMLTVImportPlugin
into my sage.properties file. I've got the xertes file in the java place. I've got my epgdata.xml file in the sage folder. As I had with my previous install, which worked! When I try to get sage to use the plugin (I'm prompted for the zip code) I enter 00000 (that's five zeros), the screen prompts me to select my cable or satellite provider but there is nothing in the screen to select! Sage 5.0 does not appear to be trying to load the plugin. Has the zip code that you enter to for it to load the plugin changed? Any other ideas what might be going wrong? |

Not so odd!
As usual, whilst writing the post, I come up with my own solution.
I think this should go in as a sticky Sun have rolled out a new runtime (1.5.0.6), which my machine has dutifully installed for me. Guess what's not in the /lib/ext folder of the new version? The xerces.jar file! This is why my plugin was not loading. I have a feeling that this will catch out quite a few people. |

Your translation should be as follows: translate.category.News\ and\ Current\ Affairs=News Quote:
Also I've noticed that these colors are stored in Sage's properties. The next version of my plugin will read that color configuration and make sure that, if one of those categories is present, it is passed to sage as the primary category. Whilst I'm at it, I probably should look in at using the AiringAPI.AddAiringDetailed method. (Maybe I should then stop supporting Sage versions prior to v5...)

date.year.decoration={0,date,short}Maybe I should make that a default? Quote:
However our feeds are not equal. Post the xml of a couple of programmes where the episode name is not carried to the EPG. I can then test this to see where it fails. Quote:
timeslot=0500-0600Let me know how it goes. I've not extensively tested that option. If anything about the plugin can make Sage unstable, then this is it... It shouldn't be a problem, since my own update takes several hours, but this can delay the update up to 23 hours. |

I'm using this plugin to create separate listings for my digital and analog cable boxes. I'm having a problem with 2 of the movie channels that appear only in the digital listing. Shows that do not have a sub-title element are not appearing in Sage - the channel shows "no-data" apart from those few shows where a sub-title element is present.
Here is an extract from the XML file: HTML Code:
<programme start="20060509163000 +0800" stop="20060509183000 +0800" channel="ch65.starhub.com"> <title lang="en">The Password Is Courage</title> <desc>A British soldier plots to escape a World War II prison camp.</desc> <credits> <director>Andrew L. Stone</director> <actor>Dirk Bogarde</actor> <actor>Maria Perschy</actor> </credits> </programme> <programme start="20060509183000 +0800" stop="20060509204000 +0800" channel="ch65.starhub.com"> <title lang="en">Making Of A Legend</title> <sub-title lang="en">Gone With The Wind</sub-title> <desc> Christopher Plummer hosts this documentary tracing David O. Selznick's battle to make the legendary epic. </desc> <credits> <director>David Hinton</director> <actor>Christopher Plummer</actor> <actor>Butterfly McQueen</actor> </credits> </programme> <programme start="20060509204000 +0800" stop="20060510003000 +0800" channel="ch65.starhub.com"> <title lang="en">Gone With The Wind</title> <desc> This film chronicles the trials and tribulations of a spoiled Southern Belle during the American Civil War. </desc> <credits> <director>Victor Fleming</director> <actor>Clark Gable</actor> <actor>Vivien Leigh</actor> </credits> </programme> The two movie channels are the only ones where this is happening but they are the only channels where shows without subtitles exist that are not duplicated in the analog listings. xmltv.properties is simply: Code:
configurations=analog.properties,digital.properties Code:
provider.name=XMLTV Analog
provider.id=3125853096
xmltv.files=epgdata.xml
initcap.title=true
initcap.episode.name=true
initcap.channel.ids=*
initcap.skip.words=the, a, an, at, in, on, and, of, from, to, is, with, not, en, de, ER
Code:
provider.name=XMLTV Digital
provider.id=4282075141
xmltv.files=epgdata.xml
initcap.title=true
initcap.episode.name=true
initcap.channel.ids=*
initcap.skip.words=the, a, an, at, in, on, and, of, from, to, is, with, not, en, de, ER
Thanks Eric |

Our feeds have shows with the same Title and Subtitle but different episodes are identified by different descriptions. It may also help marneb17's problem. Quote:
