Just wondering why paramount comedy +1 is not available to select from your gabber?

thanks for all your work

its beacuse radio times dont supply the data, if you go to the post processors tab and enable the plus 1 generator script then it can generate paramount +1 for you[/code]

I will give the post processor a try thanks

I tried enabling the post processor as you suggested. The log test item shows that the post processor is being called - however when I look in sagetv the channel does not appear in the line up.

What have I missed?

thanks
paul

check whether the channel is appearing in the xml file (you can do this with a text editor)
also you must have selected paramount as one of your channels to generate the +1 channel

Here is an excerpt from the xml file generated

<channel id="UK_RT_1061">
<display-name lang="en">Paramount Comedy</display-name>
</channel>
<channel id="UK_RT_1061+1">
<display-name lang="en">Paramount Comedy+1</display-name>
</channel>

maybe sage doesn't like the channel id with +1 concatenated to it?

perhaps, you can change it in scripts\uk_rt\ukrt_plus1_gen.lua
change

Code: Select all

		ch.ID=channels[i].id.."+"..channels[i].offset
to

Code: Select all

		ch.ID=channels[i].id.."_"..channels[i].offset

I tried to that but I also had to change

Code: Select all

p2.Channel=p2.Channel.."_"..channels[i].offset
to match or no programs existed for the generated +1 channel. Either way still no joy in sage

yes - i can see the channel with id 1061_1 and programs linked to that channel id

I have posted on the sagetv forum to see if its something to do with the xmltv importer I'm using. Or something that sage doesn't like.

Do you use sagetv and this postprocessor?

i see in your sage forums post that you are only getting 3 days listings, are you sure that you are importing the correct file not an old one that is hanging around somewhere? Is there a log created by the importer, may there is an error in there

I upgraded my java and forgot to copy the xerces.jar into the new java install. :oops: It is needed by the xmltv importer that I use.

I now have my full compliment of EPG listings and paramount+1

thanks for your help
