revengineer 122 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I noticed that XMLTV guide import for an IPTV service I am testing is limited to 24 hour. There is a note on the XMLTV page that import for longer times requires an emby premier subscription, which I have. On the Live TV -> Settings tab, I have guide download set to 3 days. 3-day import works for Schedules Direct for my HD Homerun, but not for the XMLTV guide for the IPTV provider. First thing to do is to figure out whether this is this a problem with emby or whether the provider not giving the data more than 24 hours in advance. How should i proceed is narrowing this down?

maegibbons 1267 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Speak to the provider to see how many days data should be in the xmltv file. It is probably their restriction. Krs Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revengineer 122 Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 I confirmed with the provider that they offer 7 days of guide data. emby grabs only 24 hours. The problem seems to be with emby then. Any suggestions on how to track this down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37000 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 First of all I would double check the xml file you're feeding into emby and see that it actually contains more than one day. This has happened on more than one occasion where people report the same problem only to later look inside the xml file and realize the data was never there to begin with. Let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revengineer 122 Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Yes, that got me further. The XML file contains no stop date past tomorrow demonstrating that indeed only 24 hours of guide data are provided rather than the 7 days they told me. Maybe I need another switch in the URL to enable multi-day EPG download. Is this standardized for XMLTV? Or are the URLs provider specific?

Luke 37000 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 urls are provider specific, and yes it is possible you will need to customize the query string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revengineer 122 Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 ok will check with them. Their support is not as great as yours. I started a chat and it was interrupted without resolution when the end of European' support hours was reached. 20 minutes wasted, nobody cared. Nice... Which reminded me to thank the emby team for their great support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdiguy 96 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I use tvguide.com myself. You can sign up with them for free and you can specify your area ( i know usa is supported not sure about other countries ) Some good information on this at: http://zap2xml.awardspace.info/ Not sure if you have it but i had to install xmltv on my pi. Its somewhat easy to use. I have a script set up to pull 7 days of programming from tvguide and its stored in a xml file. I then set up a cron job to run that script nightly because running a pi with the number of internet connections it makes and such its best to do when nobody is using the server. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emartinez 1 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 hello, I'm having the same issue with my tv guide, most of channels only diplay the information for the programs that start the current day (before 0:00). I have check the guide and 7 days is included on it. Aditional info, some channels like MTV show 7 days... I have checked the xml file and it is similar in both channels. Attached is the xml and a photo of the error. Any ideas how to fix it? XML: http://iptv-epg.com/2c78-mntnav.xml 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be anything in there. To parse episode numbers from xmltv data, we support the episode-num system="xmltv_ns" convention.

Senna 368 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hello Please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong in the .xmltv list for which the season and chapter appear. Becoming correct when recording. Getting right when checking the programs. I'm putting some tags, but they're wrong, I need help to know which one. See the pictures below. Thanks again. Have you looked in the post above your post ? To answer the question here, your xml data has episode-num onscreen values, which are intended for textual on-screen display and are just free-form text. It could be anything in there. To parse episode numbers from xmltv data, we support the episode-num system="xmltv_ns" convention. Thanks. So for Emby to show your episode and season data, your xml must contain this: <episode-num system="xmltv_ns">0.23.</episode-num> This number is indexed starting from 0. So Season 1 episode 24 is transformed into the xmltv_ns format to 0 and 23, like in the example code above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
