I also added @pf to the user name and I have a fixed IP via hide.me.

That's all I see on the homepage what would be Todo ... 

 

never used this feature ... so can't tell. 

 

May provide a link where it's described and your docker run command. 

 

Will take some day's to look for as I'm currently on a business trip 

Hi Thanks for your reply

I add this to the containers.

I also tried to change the run file via the CMD. But that has the same effect.

may a source how you came to this ?

 

my docker does not use this parameter ... and yes, it needs to be builded in

 

i see the cli client supports it

 

 -pf
        enable port-forwarding (uPnP and NAT-PMP)

 

i ll look into it and may add a optional flag, will let you know when done so you can test it.

 

and ... you are aware about port forwarding and secuty risks ? making your application accessable ... from anywhere.

hi, just checked my docker and i saw where you had this from (was actually mine )

 

but it should work as you setted it ... at leasz here it does

 

 

hi, thank you again for your help.

I am aware of the security risks.
I don't run the container continuously. I only run the container for a certain period of time.
I found it on the github page of the cli client.

thank you again for your efforts

I need some beginner help with setting up guide2go. I'm a newbie with UNRAID but I've managed to get Jellyfin up and going but would like to use the guide2go app to pull in my local TV guide data.

I've used ChatGPT to get to where I'm at now. But I'm not getting the xmltv.xml generated.

The guide2go Docker container started and configured as follows:

/config <--> /mnt/user/appdata/guide2go

/guide2go <--> /mnt/user/appdata/guide2go/xmltv/

I entered into the guide2go Docker console using this:

guide2go -configure us

From there I was able to configure my Schedules Direct Account login, add a lineup and manage channels from the Menu. While still in the guide2go Docker console, I was thinking I could test it by typing 'guide2go'. Entering this shows the Version 1.1.3 but nothing else. Back in the main UNRAID console I go to the /mnt/user/appdata/guide2go/xmltv but there is nothing there.

Could you please assist me with what I'm missing?

Thank you!

did you setup like described and tested ?

I did not execute the second line there:

docker exec -it "dockername" guide2go -configure /guide2go/"your_epg_name".yaml

Is there anyone that could provide me with step by step instructions?

I'm not sure out to execute that line above.

Thanks

all from unraid terminal

Do I need to run those commands from the system terminal or from the guide2go terminal/console?

Thanks again

like stated, from the Unraid terminal (system), docker exec ...

Thanks! I'm getting somewhere now. Running the docker exec command allowed me to generate the /guide2go/guide.xml file. There are a lot of gzip: invalid header lines but the guide.xml was generated.

In Jellyfin, how do I use the /guide2go/guide.xml for the XML TV file path? Jellyfin appears to only allow me to see file paths within it's own container. If I enter /guide2go/guide.xml Jellyfin doesn't recognize this path.

is the path also mounted in your jellyfin container ?

by design a docker cant access "any" path on your system, may just add your path also in jelly

/guide2go <--> /mnt/user/appdata/guide2go/xmltv/

Ok, one last question about setting up the cron job. I setup the included cron script under "User Scripts" but when I run it I'm getting some CBLguide errors.

It looks like I need to make updates to the included cronjob.sh. If I just want to get my local channels lineup from Schedules Direct each time, which updates would I need to make?

Thanks again!

Edited November 25, 2025Nov 25 by greddin

I think I figured it out. I commented out the previous JsonList line and added just mine (guide.yaml). Seems to be working now.

Thanks.

There are a bunch of channels that I don't want to see in Jellyfin. How do I exclude those? In Schedules Direct, I've edited my lineup to exclude those, but the generated guide.xml still has them. Do I need to edit the guide2go/config file to exclude the unwanted channels?

What's the best way to exclude unwanted channels?

you dont need any cron jobs on the host, read the cron.txt in the /config directory, just edit the time there and comment it properly

you can add / remove channels with guide2go cli tool, i use the manual way and remove the unwanted entries here

I have a sample_cron.txt in the /config directory. Do I just rename this to cron.txt? cron.txt is automatically used for the scheduling?

exactly, like described ;) edit it, rename it, restart docker, thats it.
