If you're on an RPi - theres a folder called Logfiles. Just PM me the zip file.

I've pushed a small update for the zap2epg addon - it includes the following:

• adds generic timezone lineups (usefule for IPTV networks)
• adds station/channel icons
• removes old episode data from cache

You can find the release here: Release zap2epg · edit4ever/script.module.zap2epg · GitHub

After feedback on this version - I will likely post as a new addon release for wider testing and get ready to submit for the Kodi repo. Please let me know if you have issues with this.

Thanks!

Can you see if it generated the xmltv.xml file? Could you share the logs? (kodi and sd4tvh)

alimac01 one other thing - if you want to use the channel filter (to speed up downloads) just make sure your set it up for each lineup you add. When you go into the add/remove channels function of the addon - it will ask you which lineup you want to edit. You will need to run it for all lineups in order for it to work. Ii may have defaulted to excluding all channels in one of your lineups when you added the other.

OK - the fix is in. Here is the latest test release:

Dropbox - script.module.zap2epg-0.2.1-2017-11-02.zip

It contains fixes for the location labels, JSON file errors and for handling a setup without a channels list.

Please let me know how it goes for you. Thanks!

Thanks Jay76 - glad to hear it was a smooth process!

Yes - it's in the addon settings. Just turn off channel filter or hdhomerun filter.

Possibly an issue with the channel filter - I don't think I had checked if that works with multiple lineups. Any chance you can turn off the channel filter option and see if it that solves it?

PaJoe if you want for Ubuntu, you wouldn't need the tv_grab_zap2epg file. You can just run zap2epg.py and it will generate the xmltv.xml file in the folder it is run from. You can setup a cron to just run that script whenever you want to update the guide info. Then just point your tvheadend system to the xmltv.xml file from within the tvh add settings and use their built in grabber.

This actually works as a method for all systems, but I included the generic zap2epg grabber to make install simpler for some people.

That looks like an issue with your addon database as there are a lot of errors with addons that aren't part of my setup. Perhaps someone here knows how you can reset that. Double check that you can add an addon from the LibreELEC and Kodi repos.

A copy of the kodi.log would help. I'll need to know what dependency is not working.

I assume you have tried a reboot?

oops...I was too quick to clean out the dependencies I wasn't using and accidentally took out one I needed!

here you go: Dropbox - script.module.zap2epg-0.2.0-2017-10-27.zip

As promised - for those of you willing to jump back into testing - here is the updated zap2epg addon!

Dropbox - script.module.zap2epg-0.2.0-2017-10-27.zip

This works with the new zap2it guide data - which if you've noticed on their site, they're transitioning/testing right now.

This does not require you to create an account. Just install the addon, run it and then set your zipcode and lineup. You can then set the custom channel list in order to speed up the download process.

There is an option for xtra details, which add the original air date, cast for movies, series/show artwork (which you can select either series or episode thumbnails) and of course, my xtra details option for appending the info to the description(plot) field. (Which works great with a default skin like Estuary!) BTW - if you enable xtra details, your first download of data will take some time. You can always set the number of days option for a day or two to make it works - then go for the full 14.

I would suggest if you had downlaoded my previous zap2epg test - uninstall it, delete the userdata folder, and install this one clean.

As a reminder - zap2it currently has the channel numbers messed up (missing minor number) for OTA channels, so make sure you don't have the "update channel number" option enabled in the tvheadend epg grabber tab. Otherwise you'll have multiple channels with the same number!!

As usual - post any issues or questions and we'll see if we can get a new great grabber up and running and finally submitted to the repo!

Enjoy.

---- HOLD THE PRESSES ----

As of this morning it seems that zap2it has redesigned their website. As a result - my newly reworked addon (and the old addon) are now borked!

I will take a look at the new layout and see if I can update later today.

--------------------------------

good news is the site is providing a json data feed...bad news - it means completely reworking my addon! Back to the drawing board....stay tuned.

if you run the zap2epg addon from a Kodi setup - you can configure your lineup and channels list which will create the settings.xml file - you can then run the program as a test from within the addon and generate the xmltv.xml file.

With both of those in hand, you can determine if you want to take the zap2epg.py script and configure it on your file server.

I'm getting ready to release a new/different version of the zap2xml addon. The original version was pieced together from the zap2xml pearl project, converted to python and then modified by me. There have been too many issues with this method - especially with cross platform functioning/other OS uses. Therefore I decided to start over.

I built the zap2epg addon from scratch and intentionally did not use the mechanize plugin. It is built using python and beautiful soup. It should be cross platform and cross OS compatible for use on most Kodi setups. (actually it could even be modified to be used on an NAS as the core zap2epg.py file will run on its own if you feed it a settings.xml file)

Anyway - since many of you have been great with using and testing updated to the zap2xml addon - I thought I'd ask you to take a look at zap2epg before I create a new post and release it. Please keep in mind that this only works for USA / Canada TV lineups. Fortunately there are a lot of other options for other countries!

Please post issues/questions here or on the github site. Thanks!

There is a new 0.7.5 release of the zap2xml addon in order to deal with login issues as well as errors from non-standard channel numbers.

Please report if you have any issues with this release. Thank you!

Thanks for that. I'll just move over to 8.2 and give it a go from there.
