grabbing from a different Timezone

the epg is correct i assume?

try this,change..

urldate.format{datenumber|UNIX|0}

to

urldate.format{datenumber|UNIX|-.5.0}

this will backup the start time

its in the format of hours,either a decimal(5.0,5.5,ect) or as a time 5:00,5:30.

plus(+) or minus(-) at the beginning determines which way it shifts it.

Thanks I'll do that now, will take about 90 mins before I see the results ,

Yes the epg when grabbed and assigned is correct but just missing the 1st couple of hours.

thanks for the quick response and all your posts in this forum which have helped me getting up and running with this.

Thanks I have just finished rerunning and importing it and it now works perfectly, I do though have a similar issue for some of the BEIN channels missing epg data for the imported time..

I was looking at the ini file rev 11 and see the below line, I guess I need to set the timezone to a different value but i'm not sure what values are valid here

site {url=bein.net|timezone=America/Moncton|maxdays=7|cultureinfo=en-US|charset=UTF-8|titlematchfactor=90}

any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks once again

I have tried the following and it seems to at least execute without throwing an error for the moment

site {url=bein.net|timezone=Europe/London|maxdays=7|cultureinfo=en-GB|charset=UTF-8|titlematchfactor=90}

bein.net dont work the same as tvguide.com

try this..

set timezone=UTC

and on the url_index{url|...} line remove the -4(so its blank) from offset= so its like this..

url_index{url|http://epg.beinsports.com/utctime##country##.php?cdate=|urldate|&offset=&category=##genre##&id=123}

Hi again

I have tried the above and my ini looks like

site {url=bein.net|timezone=UTC|maxdays=7|cultureinfo=en-GB|charset=UTF-8|titlematchfactor=90}
url_index{url|http://epg.beinsports.com/utctime##country##.php?cdate=|urldate|&offset=&category=##genre##&id=123}

However when I check the guide.xml for a specific channel and program I get the below

<programme start="20161208073000 +0000" stop="20161208093000 +0000" channel="bein mena_sports 5hd">
   <title lang="en">Werder Bremen vs Ingolstadt</title>
   <category lang="en">German League - Bundesliga</category>
</programme>

 The epg website (http://www.beinsports.com/en/tv-guide) shows that match is starting at 2016/12/08 07:30 however when I check the time and date it is actually starting at 2016/12/07 15:45

When I look at the epg on the website for 2016/12/08 07:30 I get the below

Any help would be greatly appreciated

i found another issue with there sometimes being a duplicate show which messed up the whole guide.xml

now it should work and use UTC.hopefully that the end of this,i getting tired of this ini.

download it again as i didnt do a revision change.

Thanks a million for your help, I just tested it and it works perfectly,

I just wish I knew more about these ini files so I could make these changes myself.

Hi again

It looks like the BEIN.net site has been changed once again, can you please advise me how I can update the ini file to reflect these changes?
