Bein sports issue

Hi,

I made the EPG.xml files I needed, covers UK, USA and BEIN sports and every channels is working except the BEIN sports, I know the data is been created as I can open the created xml file and see all the programs etc just like with the UK and USA but for some reason the data can't/isn't been used and so the EPG sections for Bein sports remain blank.

Am I missing something? Can anyone please offer some advice? I'm at my wits end here as I can't understand why it wont work :( I have attached the ini and xml file I use from the siteini folder

I have also attached the xml file it creates for 1 day for 1 channel, test xml for the bein

A zgemma is a satellite box, th eissue I'm having is that the BEIN XML is been created and I'm using what you said in the link but the box can't read the data and so doesn't display it.

Its odd as the UK and even the USA generated XML's work but the BEIN wont, I'm totally confused

Ok, I've updated to V2.1.5, I had not done it as its still listed as Beta

The EPG XML file is not in the same one as the USA \ UK as I didn't want to keep running the whole config file while I find the reason why the BEIN isn't working.

I add the xml file to my VPS and then link the data to my xtreamcodes panel, it is reading the xml when I reload the data and I link each BEIN channel in the panel to the BEIN channel in the EPG but when the EPG data is pulled to a satbox it wont display anything, its fine for UK and USA and if I load a UK channel into the BEIN channel it will display that UK channel too so its only the BEIN sports it doesn't like and I don't know why, I've attached the new xml I made with 2.1.5,

could it be a time issue? I just don't see whats different between BEIN sports and a UK based one like radiotimes

I think I know why its not working, this is just a guess but all my UK and USA ini files contain as site id with a number

for usa and

for the UK but Bein Sports doesn't use a site id number it uses a name

<channel update="i" site="bein.net" site_id="mena_sports/HD1" xmltv_id="Bein Sports1">Bein Sports1</channel>

as the xmltv name and the channel name have no impact. This is due to the note in the EPG.log from my satbox

Enumerating event information
Unknown channel: Bein Sports1
Unknown channel: Bein Sports2

so I think thats the reason why I have not been able to get it to work, is there away or is it possible to change the site_id="mena_sports/HD1" to a numerical value like site_id="00100" or something like it so the satbox can ID the channel.

Cheers

this file wasnt created by 2.1.5

2.1.5 is needed as the new ini uses language attributes so if your grabbing arabic it will use "ar" or "en" for english.

if you dont use 2.1.5 the attribute is not applied..

<sub-title lang="en">Summer Olympics(lang=en)</sub-title>

(lang=en) is the lang attribute,with 2.1.5 the above would show as..

<sub-title lang="en">Summer Olympics</sub-title>

using 2.1 should make no difference far as the xml being imported as the only difference is the extra text like i showed you above.

somewhere in your xml transfer there has to be a log so start narrowing it down to where the issue is..

start small with 1 channel and one day epg so there no so much data to go over.

xtreamcodes must have some sort of log when its imported and again when the box itself downloads it?

Wow Blackbear im suprised youve never heard of Zgemma??? But off the subject im having problems getting data for bein sports can you help, it started off just being bein 11 and 12 it wasnt giving me listings for but now its all of them, everything is correct in my config file as i was getting data before, ive looked in the log and im seeing this

[ Info ] ( 131/185 ) BEIN.NET -- chan. (xmltv_id=beIN SPORTS 3HD) -- mode Force
[Warning ] no robots data found
[Warning ] skipped robots check
[Error ] no shows in indexpage!

Any ideas my learned friend? Please help

Cheers
