EPG strangeness #90

Closed joeczucha closed 7 years ago

joeczucha commented 7 years ago

Firstly, I just wanted to thank you for your work on this plugin.

I'm experiencing some strangeness with an EPG generated by WebGrab++.

With master (v2.0.0) I can't get the EPG data to display at all. Under each channel it just says "No description available". Has the EPG functionality changed with this version?

I then checked out v1.2.9 (as I was experiencing some different issues with 1.2.10) and it kind of works:

If I match the channel attribute to stream title then it displays the listing correctly under the channel. 

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-ID="UK: alibi" tvg-name="UK : ALIBI" tvg-logo="http://mytv.com/logos/alibi.png" group-title="SKY UK ENTERTAINMENT",UK : ALIBI
http://mytv.com/123.m3u8

<tv generator-info-name="WebGrab+Plus/w MDB &amp; REX Postprocess -- version  V2.0 -- Jan van Straaten" generator-info-url="http://www.webgrabplus.com">
  <channel id="UK : ALIBI">
    <display-name lang="en">Alibi</display-name>
    <icon src="http://my.tvguide.co.uk/channel_logos/520.png" />
    <url>http://www.tvguide.co.uk</url>
  </channel>
  <programme start="20170301040000 +0000" stop="20170301070000 +0000" channel="UK : ALIBI">
    ...
  </programme>
</tv>

But if I match the channel attribute to the tvg-id (as per the instructions) then it doesn't display.

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-ID="UK: alibi" tvg-name="UK : ALIBI" tvg-logo="http://mytv.com/logos/alibi.png" group-title="SKY UK ENTERTAINMENT",UK : ALIBI
http://mytv.com/123.m3u8

<tv generator-info-name="WebGrab+Plus/w MDB &amp; REX Postprocess -- version  V2.0 -- Jan van Straaten" generator-info-url="http://www.webgrabplus.com">
  <channel id="UK: alibi">
    <display-name lang="en">Alibi</display-name>
    <icon src="http://my.tvguide.co.uk/channel_logos/520.png" />
    <url>http://www.tvguide.co.uk</url>
  </channel>
  <programme start="20170301040000 +0000" stop="20170301070000 +0000" channel="UK: alibi">
    ...
  </programme>
</tv>

Using the tvg-id would be preferable as there are several channels (SD, HD, etc) which use the same tvg-id - but have different stream titles - so I'd like them to share the same channel data.

Thanks in advance.

Attributes in playlist were case sensitive, You have tvg-ID, should be tvg-id.

Fixed in latest version.

Great spot! That's fixed it on 1.2.9 but on the latest version I still get "No description available" under every channel

(I'm not changing anything else, the only difference is switching between the Git branches)

Thanks for your help with this.

You need to reaload the playlist for changes to take effect, if You have automatic playlist update set to never in preferences just restart the PMS, otherwise delete file ...\Plex Media Server\Plug-in Support\Data\com.plexapp.plugins.iptv\Dict while PMS is shut down, or just wait for it to reload by itself.

Yep, that did the trick 👍 Thanks again
