Export EPG to XMLTV for use with PLEX's Manual XMLTV Support

[NightHammer1000]

Would it be Possible to create and serve a link to a XMLTV File to use with PLEX`s Manual XMLTV Support? It is a real pain in the ass to find a suiting Provider for SAT Channels and creating a file myself with Webgrab+ takes way to long. And why recreate the EPG with WebGrab+ if I already have it on the Box itself?

[andyblac]

no, as e2 does not have all the required info that plex needs.

[NightHammer1000]

Well. Than this is pretty much useless for SAT users until PLEX add real SAT EPG support. Thanks anyway.

[andyblac]

what is your provider ?, have you asked plex to add epg here https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/288325/no-plex-dvr-in-your-country-request-epg-data-for-your-country-here#latest

[NightHammer1000]

They dont Support DVB-S officially. And I dont have a Provider. I only use the free Channels. This Thread is only for Cable Providers.

[andyblac]

no, I use for FreeSat in UK with no issues. what is your epg your looking for ?, I'll have a word with plex.

[NightHammer1000]

Well we here use Astra 19,2E. If everything works out I plan to use ORF, HD+ and Sky. Everything I watch right now are Channels I can recive without a Provider. The Free German Channels.

But there are only Cable EPG Provider in Plex at the Moment.

Would be really cool ...

You can use these API Call on a Dreambox for getting EPG for a Service Reference :

http://DreamboxIP/web/epgservice?sRef=1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:

(This is for Das Erste HD on Astra 19.2E)

Generating a XMLTV Url from selected Bouquet would be great!

Indeed, it seems there isn't much missing from getting the TV guide info directly from the STB. Some folks already made attempts in solving this using an external Python script (i. e. http://forum.tv-mosaic.com/viewtopic.php?t=318#p1525 ), but getting the needed information straight out of HRTunerProxy running on the same STB anyway appears to be a much smoother approach.

I've developed something around those lines (using the OpenWebif API to generate the XMLTV that you can pass to Plex instead of using the Gracenote's one which misses a bunch of my channels):

Very interesting, thanks for this!

@NightHammer1000 Have you ever found a solution for that?

I also use Astra 19,2E satellite and don't need to have a "provider" for that. Is there any plugin for Enigma2 or any other solution to get the EPG of the Box into XMLTV format?

Nope. Never. Gave up on it and Plex all together and now use Jellyfin. Jellyfin has a native Enigma2 Plugin.

[mensa84]

Thanks. But Jellyfin doesn't have an Apple TV app, right?

Dont know. Dont use Apple Devices because of how restrictive they are. Given that, no. Most likely not.

[mensa84]

Jellyfin has a native Enigma2 Plugin.

Do you have a link for that native E2 plugin please?
