Everything except Icons working in XMLTV.xml.

[dee1 3]

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??

The channel icons go in the xmltv as well, or you can just assign them manually in the web interface.

-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.

cd bal 

del *.* /F /Q

cd ..

zap2xml -z -u xxxxx@yahoo.com -p password -o bal.xml -i icons -c bal -U -I

cd phi

del *.* /F /Q

cd ..

zap2xml -z -u xxxxx2@yahoo.com -p password2 -o phi.xml -i icons -c phi -U -I

del xmltv.xml

xmltv.exe tv_merge -i phi.xml -m bal.xml -o xmltv.xml

 

Is working cleaner

 

I realized that you had to go to the metadata manager and add them.. (well ok)

This is still obviously a work in progress

I'm onto stability

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)

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
