Handling TVG-Shift for EPG shifting in m3u files

[wearysky 1]

Is it possible to get support for a "tvg-shift" in m3u files, to shift EPG data by a certain number of hours for a given channel?

 

I'm using iptv-epg for my guide data, and they've got the ability to shift individual channels if the data is off for those channels only... But instead of updating the guide itself (which would require shifting the time for every single show on that channel), they just add it to the m3u file in the form of a new element. Example:

 

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="RTEOne.ie" tvg-name="RTE One IE" tvg-logo="http://static.iptv-epg.com/ie/RTEOne.ie.png"tvg-chno="112" tvg-shift="-1" group-title="Ireland",RTE One

 

Seems like it would be a *fairly* easy change to make, I would think?

 

(Apologies if this has been asked before. Tried searching, but couldn't find anything)

Hi, yes it's something we can look at adding. Thanks.

Great, thanks!

Thanks @@Luke! Need this for 1 lousy channel, lol.

 

EDIT: I am happy to report that this works or my Guide data was off...either way the channel is fixed!

#EXTINF:0,channel-id="68.0" US: WE TV tvg-shift="+5"

Thanks for the feedback.

Has this actually been implemented?   tvg-shift now works?

[EODCrafter 181]

@@mlcarson AFAIK It has not been implemented. I just refreshed the guide data after I put that in and it seemed like it fixed it to me when actually it just required a guide refresh. @@Luke was just being nice or putting me off with that comment to avoid future interaction.

It has not been implemented yet.

tvg-shift has been supported for a few years now.
