Can you post your config file and I'll take a look at it when I get time? Quote Link to comment
johnodon Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 That is actually the process you have to follow per WPG+ instructions. That will generate a channels.xml that you can then copy/paste into the wgp config xml. See below... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SchedulesDirect.com revised October 2014 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Before you can use this siteini, you must: A. Get a membership and register at schedulesdirect.org/account , get a login name, a password and create one or more lineups B. add your login and password C. generate your own SchedulesDirect.channels.xml file (because this is different for every unique login) A. Follow the instructions at schedulesdirect.org !! Important when chosing a lineup: Keep the number of channels low !! Only add channels that you are really going to use! Keep in mind that also for the channels you do not use to get an epg from, the data is downloaded. That takes time and slows down the process. B. Open the SchedulesDirect.com.ini file and look for the next line and change the credentials to yours. url_index.headers {credentials=ENTER_USERNAME,ENTER_PASSWORD} C. To generate the your own .channels.xml file (extra info can be found on http://webgrabplus.com/node/289) 1. in your siteini: for all the lines between @auto_xml_channel_start & @auto_xml_channel_end, remove the FIRST * at the beginning of the line (= uncomment) Save schedulesdirect.org.ini 2. in your .config.xml: Add only one dummy channel in the WebGrab++.config.xml file <channel update="f" site="schedulesdirect.org" site_id="" xmltv_id="dummy">dummy</channel> Only grab for 1 day <timespan>0</timespan> Save WebGrab++.config.xml 3. Now just run WG++ and your .channels.xml file should be generated, if all goes well. 4. You have now your .channels.xml file. The channel lines inside it, can be used to configure the WebGrab++.config.xml file. 5. Revert the changes made in C.1. Quote Link to comment

John Do you have a desktop computer to test it on to see if it's the container or the configuration that is the problem. I guess channels direct have no free accounts so I can test it?

johnodon Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Honestly, the more I play with TVH (for about the umpteenth time), it just makes me realized how much more of a polished product MythTV (Mythbuntu) is. MythWeb is particularly awesome. I think I'll just stick with using that in a VM until some brave soul finds a way to make it run in a docker container. John Quote Link to comment

I've used Argus, MediaPortal and TVHeadEnd, tried Myth a couple of times but never managed to get it working, we don't watch a great deal of OTA TV so can't justify putting the work in to get Myth working myself.

saarg Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 I made a plugin that checks if you have the media tree available and that your DVB Adapter was recognized. It also changes the owner:group to nobody:users on your DVB Adapter so people don't have to set anything in their go file to get their adapter running in the tvheadend docker. I used WW & Mettbrots Tvheadend plugin as the base and removed everything that didn't have to do with the above. You can install it by adding this line in the install plugin screen: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tobbenb/unraid6-plugins/master/MediaTreeCheck/MediaTreeCheck.plg Please use this thread for support on the plugin: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=40295.0 Quote Link to comment

DVB plugin to check for media build and drivers 2. New templates that remove the need to add the extra info for the end user. Will make it a lot easier for new people to see how to go about things.

johnodon Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 After all of our discussion in the Myth thread, I decided to revisit TVH btu I am still having the issue with WGP+ and SD. I posted on their forum a week ago but have yet to see a response. So, in the meantime I used mc2xml to generate the XML since it has built-in SD support. I now at least have guide data to start to map and play with. I really want to see if it as easy as everyone says to schedule series recordings. Myth has a LOT of extra advanced settings in this space that I have used. BTW...when did Kodi PVR clients start to play nicely with using backend channel #s and not lose subchannels (i.e. 2.1, 2.2, 2.3). Of course I think this only ever effected OTA users so you cable/SAT guys may have no idea what I am talking about. John Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 I didn't know subchannels existed until now So I do not know the status in kodi. What is the advanced settings that are not available in tvheadend? Sorry, I'm too lazy to compare them I'll see if I can get some time to play with SD one day Quote Link to comment

saarg Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 This is the recording settings in tvheadend. There is no filters and no duplicate check at the moment. They removed it for some reason in some build not too long ago. But there is a script floating around for this. Skip commercial only works on one Swedish channel. What do you use when recording? Quote Link to comment
johnodon Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 That is the profile settings, right (for all recordings)? Can you do the same per individual or series recording basis? Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 That is the profile settings, right (for all recordings)? Can you do the same per individual or series recording basis? You can make multiple profiles and choose which profile to use when you schedule a recording. As you can see below, you choose the profile and click on either Record Program or Auto-rec (series). After you have scheduled a series recording, you can go to the specific program and tweak it. Quote Link to comment
johnodon Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'll say one thing...channel switching certainly faster with TVH than Myth. Oh...and there is a TVH plugin for Emby Server. I may need to make TVH my new default PVR. Still no love from the WGP+ guys yet regarding my SchedulesDirect issue. Quote Link to comment
