Senna 366 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Could Emby also incorporate built in support for XMLTV guide providers in the following format: - *.gz (GZIP) - *.zip Above formats are common for commercial EPG providers (especially gz), because it saves them bandwidth server side with a factor 10.

Luke 30074 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 We should be handling gz already. If you can provide any sample urls the are having trouble I'll take a look. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senna 366 Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) I can send you the gz in PM of my commercial EPG provider, not the URL (because it shows my account info) Edit: PM sent with gz xmltv guide Edited December 1, 2017 by Senna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 30074 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I'm afraid I would need a url because the important aspect here is how exactly they are serving it up. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1071 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Gzip is working for me. @@Luke I PMed you a test link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senna 366 Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) I'm afraid I would need a url because the important aspect here is how exactly they are serving it up. Thanks. Well, in my case, the gz file I have sent you in PM, is exactly the same as the original provided by my provider..... It is just renamed, to protect my private download link, so I can't see why you couldn't use it, because even when I setup Emby to use a downloaded gz stored locally, instead of the URL, Emby fails to scrape EPG data from the gz for the channels in my m3u. Edit: To add to that, the following programs doesn't have any problems with the gz I send you in PM: - DVBLink - Kodi - iPlayTV - GSE Smart IPTV Pro - etc.... They all handle a URL or a locally stored gz file perfectly Edited December 1, 2017 by Senna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 30074 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 because the response headers and how the server reacts to them play a role, however, for file based support i should be able add support for feeding .gz file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senna 366 Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Ok, thanks for the explanation Luke. I will let you know what the results are, when you have incorporated this new feature for gz feeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senna 366 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Improved GZ support confirmed working for local gz files and URL directed gz files with Emby server 3.2.40.7 beta Good job guys !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
