Senna 368 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Sweden is probably a small market but I have no problem to pay for the listings, as I do now. How many Swedish channels are there you need EPG for ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I guess my only concern would be that 3.6 is released and working properly before SD cuts the API off. I've got a whole year before my SD sub runs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikeSwe 65 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) How many Swedish channels are there you need EPG for ?About 60 I think. The market has over 100 available Edit: not only Swedish channels but foreign channels mostly in english too. With Swedish epg and for the Swedish (and Nordic) market. Like all Discovery channels, Fox, MTV and so on. The free to view channels are not many and iptv is not easily available without special solutions and quite limiting so the market is smaller that way Edited December 2, 2018 by NikeSwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikeSwe 65 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Browse this topic : https://forum.tv-mosaic.com/viewtopic.php?t=228Thanks for the suggestion.Have seen most of the stuff for my market there. xmltv.se has been around for many many years under different names. Used it several years ago in MythTV that had (has?) very good support for it. Limited data but free. You just need to grab it with the right tools (tv_grab tools) and process it in some way before emby can read it as standard xmltv. No graphics or other nice to have data. I used honeybee as xmltv-provider in emby at first but that data had big problems with mixed languages (like German or Finnish titles, Swedish description or the other way around) even if selecting Swedish (btw honeybee and xmltv.se, same author, Swedish guy, talked to him a couple of times over the years). Switched to SD and that data is great. Good graphics and no language problems with the data. Edited December 2, 2018 by NikeSwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't really have one since the election (september 9). Just the provisional/transitional government.

Bert 49 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Really? Sorry as an American I am only expected to understand basic concepts of government. I have no idea exactly how yours works. This has lead to an excellent two party system where we are constantly given the choice to only vote against our self-interests. This is often referred to as "the lesser of two evils". I was only trying to make light of the situation as your country is often the example of the horrors that can happen if you let socialism get out of control. Personally, I am not for socialism but find endless humor in the assumption then that our system is without it's warts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revengineer 125 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 It is our hope to expand this to more countries in the future, yes. So just to clarify: Those who need German guide data and have an SD subscription that runs out within the next four weeks will be screwed at least for while but possibly forever? If so what is the workaround or alternative to emby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so what is the workaround or alternative to emby? What you can do is extend SD a little longer which will give us time to explore more options for more countries. Obviously we'd like to do it with Gracenote if the cost is reasonable. But there are other options in Europe that we need time to explore. Thanks.

dcol 165 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Exciting news on the long awaited update. So right now I use Schedules Direct in epg123, then that output goes to Emby and the M3U playlist comes from iptv-epg. So I assume, I am never going to be affected by any Emby/SD changes. But also, I am using NPVR and that is what delivers most of the content to my liveTV. I may have to rethink my whole process once this is all running smoothy for Emby. I have so many programs doing things, it is way too confusing now. My main question is will there be a subscription fee for this service from Emby, or is it just included in Premiere which is a one time payment. By the way, I already have Premiere.

dcol 165 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 For all those concerned about losing SD, just use epg123 and use the output xml in Emby. Easy solution for those with SD and want to stay there. I do it now and it works great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this will not break your bank and render the emby lifetime license nonviable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37064 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 We have not looked into every country yet so please feel free to suggest guide data providers that you know of for your country, either here or you can PM us. Then we can look into whether or not integration would be possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikeSwe 65 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Not all users running Emby on Windows. Users like me. Noticed that mc2xml does have a Linux version but time will tell if I need to do some special solution, I rather not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at epg123 right now but need to know where to pipe the resulting XML data. EDIT: I think I get it. I just use the "XML TV" guide option and then point to the XML file created by epg123. Right? Edited December 2, 2018 by revengineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The format for the graphics from honeybee will not fit Emby current layout. Also, when I used honeybee (that could be used directly as xmltv-source) there was big problems with mixed languages and other stuff in the data but you could speak to him. I really hope for data from the same source as SD use, good graphics and information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
