Webgrab+Plus used with Kodi

I have used a couple of sources. But i do have the latest revision of Dirtect tv, it simply adds "Movie" or "TV Show" if its a movie or tv show. I was hoping the MDB processer could simply insert the genre when it compared it to imdb or tvdb. But when it does it simply adds it in the description. So it reads like "episode info:blah blah genre: action, drama" instead of adding it to the actual genre information.

Actually i know why people flock to TV.com. Because zap2it and directtv are in networks and not "USA" see when i first got Webgrab i saw all the countries, saw TV.com was the only one in USA (i am in america)  that offered more than like 10 channels. And started using it. And it took me HOURS to map all the channels i need, like 200 channels. So when i finally discovered that directtv and zap2it existed as possible sources the idea of remapping 200 channels made me cringe lol.

But TV.com has timeout problems with a lot of channels and like you mentioned no genre or episode information. I will try to use Zap2it for a couple of channels and see if i get better results than TV.com. Thank you a lot for your feedback

oh wow your right i do have them written that way. I just didn't want them in the description but i had them that way. Oh wow thank you, i greatly appreciate that .ini file

I have run it with your updated .ini file and the genres show up now. But the episode information. the

it shows the "<episode-num system="onscreen">S5 E4</episode-num>" in the .xml file but Kodi does not display it.

yeah thank you so much for all your help. I will update if it presents itself when i run it next.

well i just tried running it again. And unforutanely it does change it to the new format but Kodi still doesn'ty display it

 i found out why it doesnt display the episode information after alot of reading on the kodi forums.

iptv simple client doesnt import it when it loads the guide.xml

it gets title,description and genre.i had a look at the source code on git and look to be correct.

GetNodeValue(pChannelNode, "title", entry.strTitle);

GetNodeValue(pChannelNode, "desc", entry.strPlot);

GetNodeValue(pChannelNode, "category", entry.strGenreString);

i dont see any other elements.(beside the start and stop time).

Well that explains it. Because i did the alterations and i found it did nothing. So Simple Client simply not loading it would make a lot of sense.

yeah, more searching i figured out how to add it,this involves compiling th addon which i can do for linux but not windows.

well maybe someone smarter than me can compile it for windows but i never compiled anything ever for windows on linux.

it a vey easy edit,just 3 lines to add in 2 files.

i couldnt compile it on Jarvis(kept getting errors) so i tried Ktypton and it compiled fine.

titan skin is beta for it so i think thats why you see other/unknown/ect for the category

Update:

i tried a few different skins for Krypton and the "other/unknown" isnt there just the category from the guide.xml

so its is a bug that hasnt been fixed yet in the beta titan skin.

 

 

 

I have been trying to complie a custom pvr simple client for windows for ages with no success. i simply can't get cmake to work right. But if you wouldn't mind sharing your compiled version of your edited pvr client that would be neat. And maybe i can drop a line on the Titan forum letting them know about hte "other/Unknown" bug that the beta skin has.

here is is but it wont work on windows.

linux uses .so files not .dll like windows.

also regarding the patch i used i got it from the titan git(one of the branches) so i think the author knows about it.

I have a secondary Libreelec box. And was thinking of making my primary Libreelec as well. Except i have a baytrail processer and it doesn't fully work with LIbreelec yet. But i can at least use the patched PVR client you provided on my secondary device. Thank you
