dee1 3 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 What I did was: create two accounts at tvguide.com Set my preferences Downloaded http://zap2xml.awardspace.info/ zap2xml.exe Downloaded https://sourceforge....ts/xmltv/files/ xmltv.exe Extracted everything into one directory as an example C:\epg created a batch file zap2xml -z -u xxxxx@yahoo.com -p password -o bal.xml -c bal -U -I zap2xml -z -u xxxxx2@yahoo.com -p password2 -o phi.xml -c phi -U -I xmltv.exe tv_merge -i phi.xml -m bal.xml -o xmltv.xml What this did was grab the channels from OTA from BAL and PHI and combine them into one file or the EMBY default of xmltv.xml But how do I bring in the channel icons??

Luke 36997 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 The channel icons go in the xmltv as well, or you can just assign them manually in the web interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagle3092 1 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) -i icons, your missing an argument to download and store the channel icons. -i then a directory name, I just use Icons. This is for zap2xml btw. Edited October 15, 2017 by nagle3092 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(well ok) This is still obviously a work in progress I'm onto stability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36997 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I realized that you had to go to the metadata manager and add them.. (well ok) You don't have to do that. This means either you updated the xml but didn't run a guide refresh, or despite your changes the icons are still not in the xml, or perhaps they are in the xml but represented in some kind of non-standard way.

I need to fool with it some more, I have altova and could merge it with that and then do an xslt, what I need to do is do some tests. I'm still new with this setup. I'm seeing the icons in a seperate folder. What I'm seeing is (from the source file) <channel id="I2.1.11251.tvguide.com"> <display-name>2.1 WMARHD</display-name> <display-name>2.1</display-name> <display-name>WMARHD</display-name> <display-name>WMAR HDTV</display-name> </channel> <channel id="I2.2.14874.tvguide.com"> <display-name>2.2 WMARDT</display-name> <display-name>2.2</display-name> <display-name>WMARDT</display-name> <display-name>WMAR Laff TV</display-name> </channel> <programme start="20171018233400 -0400" stop="20171019003700 -0400" channel="I4.1.11295.tvguide.com"> <title lang="en">The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon</title> <sub-title lang="en">Ben Stiller; Fred Armisen; Little Big Town, Kacey Musgraves & Midland</sub-title> <desc lang="en">Ben Stiller; and Fred Armisen.

It's functional and tolerable, I need to just tweak it? Some of the content shows nothing as a default, NFL and news, just not there yet But channels only shows the two icons I added, the .png that tvguid.com had were washed out and small, 30x30 However the 10' menu is working.. I have the content working and a scheduled task sync'd with the refresh late at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
