EPG format for Plex #6

Closed philipbutts closed 4 weeks ago

philipbutts commented 1 month ago

The EPG provided, when used in plex, displays all programs as "new", and is not relaying the proper episode metadata, resulting in things like recordings being marked as "Episode: Current date". I've learned a bit about why this is happening, and even found a format converter, but I've had no success making it work. Is there a chance of getting a second EPG format, or a simple conversion program? Besides that, I've had a great deal of success implementing this in plex, thank you for your hard work.

The EPG source used for this playlist comes from m3u4u.com, and after looking into it, it seems they don't support the use of <episode-num>. To get episode numbers, you'll need to use another EPG service that supports these tags. You can give WebGrab+Plus a try.

WebGrab+Plus

WebGrab+Plus allows you to scrape EPG data from various websites. Depending on the source, it can support <episode-num>. If the source website includes episode numbers, WebGrab+Plus can include them in the XMLTV output. WebGrab+Plus website.

Thank you very much, I will look into it right away. I'll also keep an eye out for any fixes on your end.

The new EPG should now include the data you were requesting.
