Vous avez bien compris qu'il fallait recharger manuellement ce fichier dans EyeTV tous les 5 jours ou moins ? Je crois bien avoir tout compris; j'avais fait la sottise de glisser/déposer le XML dans l'icône du DOCK ! Maintenant ça marche ! En fait, à chaque fois que l'on va chercher le xmltv_tnt.xml sur le web, il prend les programmes du jour et des 4 suivants (il est mis à jour la nuit précédente) et il suffit de le déposer sur eyetv.app pour avoir les 5 jours par rapport à la date du jour où on le fait. Est-ce que j'ai bon ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EPG can not be subscribed at present. Please contact with our colleague Sabine about the refund. Sabine: sabine@eu-geniatech.com Best Regards, Kelly Geniatech EyeTV Support Team I contacted Sabine and the next day received a refund via PayPal for 6 months of UK EPG subscription. So clearly it's never going to be fixed. But good to know you can request a refund. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that the same with your setup? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuartf 6 Report post Posted March 2, 2023 Sorry I have not used xmltv for BBC Radio stations. It could be that they have been renamed. You may want to rerun the channel config from scratch, but be warned that is quite painful unless you select all ! Stuart Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuartf 6 Report post Posted April 4, 2023 If anyone is using the xmltv refresh script from above you may have noticed that the EPG has defaulted to 5 days recently I think the 14 day listing option has gone away.

dodobis 1 Report post Posted September 5, 2023 Bonjour, Avant de sortir de mon lit, j’ai programmé mon MACPRO (Monterey) et eyetv 4 (8528) pour enregistrer à 7h00 AM les premières nouvelles du matin sur les chaines TV. Quand j’arrive à mon bureau à 9h00, je constate chaque matin que l’enregistrement est en cours mais que le son est ouvert et réveille la famille. Connaissez-vous un réglage pour que les enregistrements se passent en silence ? merci pour vos conseils. Hello, Before I got out of bed, I programmed my MACPRO (Monterey) and eyetv 4 (8528) to record the morning’s first news on TV channels at 7:00 AM. When I arrive at my office at 9:00 am, I notice every morning that the recording is underway but that the sound is open and awakens the family. Do you know a setting so that the recordings will pass silently? thank you for your advice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuartf 6 Report post Posted September 7, 2023 It looks like tvguide have changed their API As a result the UK TV grabber is completely broken at the moment There is at least still an API being exposed so there is hope that this can be fixed The issue has been opened at https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv/issues/214 I tried the suggested $ua workaround but that did not work Stuart Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuartf 6 Report post Posted September 14, 2023 There still seems to be no resolution in sight for the issue with the UK xmltv grabber from TVGuide If you are thinking about trying EyeTV 4 don't. I did that experiment for you The guide is as expected broken there too! The server never responds The DVB option only grabs the next on air program, not the week it should process and add. Plus it does not run automatically making this useless too! If you are on Apple Silicon the program will crash frequently. It seems OK on my old Intel Man mini. So pretty much every problem that has been raised in the topic area is still not fixed I have challenged support on these issues and asked for a refund they cannot or will not be fixed Stuart Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geeji 1 Report post Posted September 14, 2023 You could try to use the ≈100MB XML file at : https://xmltvfr.fr/xmltv.php > https://xmltvfr.fr/xmltv/xmltv.xml, which includes about 899 channels. Some filtering/pruning will be required before pushing the XML onto Eyetv.

stuartf 6 Report post Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) There is still no fix for the xmltv project tv_grab_uk_tvguide grabber Recent attempts by xmltv project members to use the new API seem to have been blocked by the owners of TV Guide. In the interim I have been looking at the pay service provided by Schedules Direct. This supports the xmltv grabber tv_grab_zz_sdjson. Schedules Direct offer a 7 day free trail of the service. You have to sign up to get a login. Then a $35 annual charge (the underlying data is provided by Gracenote) https://www.schedulesdirect.org (I have no affiliation with SD) My experience so far is that it seems to work with a few minor issues (such as no BBC1 HD listing), probably a config issue by me likely to be resolved by running config with a different option It was simple enough to configure by simply switching out the tv_grab_uk_tvguide in my xmltv_refresh.sh script for tv_grab_zz_sdjson and running tv_grab_zz_sdjson —config to set up for the first time The data seems good over a 10 day period and has successfully updated over the past couple of days. Based on this I plan to subscribe once my weeks trial is over next week EyeTV 3 lives on for a bit and possibly this will even work with EyeTV 4. Although I doubt the latter will ever be updated for Apple Silicon Macs Stuart Edit: I forgot to mention that the download time for listings from SD is really quick!

pdog 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2023 This is brilliant Stuartf - works a treat. I considered SD in the past but they say that's it's only for free software (like NextPVR) whereas EyeTV is a paid application. I use an M2 MacBook Air running EyeTV4 on Sonoma with a Netstream4Sat tuner and all is well. BTW BBC1 HD is there. The only thing I can't do is to get the script to import the xml file into EyeTV. I have to save the xml data in the Terminal output to a separate xml file and then drag the file onto the EyeTV icon. I suspect that I'm doing something wrong, however.

pdog 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2023 I adapted your original script as follows but removed the 'no details' command since it wasn't recognised by SD #!/bin/sh /opt/local/bin/tv_grab_zz_sdjson --days 10 /opt/local/bin/tv_sort --by-channel --output ~/.xmltv/uk.xml /usr/bin/open -a /Applications/EyeTV.app ~/.xmltv/uk.xml - same as before - terminal displays the xml data (my it's fast) but EyeTV doesn't open or receive the data. - the command /usr/bin/open -a /Applications/EyeTV.app does work though so my problem is with the exported xml file or lack of one!

stuartf 6 Report post Posted October 14, 2023 The first two lines in your script should be one line with the | (pipe) symbol between them My script: #!/bin/bash cd ~/.xmltv /opt/local/bin/tv_grab_zz_sdjson --days 14 | /opt/local/bin/tv_sort --by-channel --output ~/.xmltv/mytv.xml # load xml EPG in EyeTV /usr/bin/open -a /Applications/EyeTV.app ~/.xmltv/mytv.xml The cd line is not really needed Hope this helps Stuart Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
