fixed.ini not generating dummy channel data for 30 days?

if it works via your iptv player i would go that route.

if could be done via the ini but it would be very difficult to achieve and require a few things like you host the logo's on your own server.

alternately you could use a postprocessor like add_logo.exe but again its needs to be setup.

you can read about add_logo.here..

As much as I would like to learn to add channel logos to my config file or amend my copy of the fixed_variable INI, I think I'll just use the option in my IPTV player and add the file manually or add my SMB server link. FYI, because you were so helpful with this 24/7 EPG project, I went to the donation page and submitted a donation thru PayPal. Per the info on the donations page:

A donation of 6€ (net) a year will allow to run 250 channels, 15 different site.ini, MDB and REX postprocess, full index and details pages and 2 hardware id

So I donated 6 euro plus the requested fee (included my user name and email address in the transaction) and my USD amount was $8.05 So how long does it take to see my account updated? 

Thank you again for your help. My 24/7 channels EPG is looking great!

usually 4-6 hours.

u have the piggy bank loko under your username so your good to go.

if your license log doesnt show donator instead of registered_user do a force license update.

hello, is it possible to change the output location of my guide.xml to a Dropbox folder? If yes, I assume the location would have to be entered in the config file, correct? Thanks

Hello, it's been awhile since I last posted. Recently I have decided to use TiviMate as my primary IPTV player and when I assign these 24/7 channels to TiviMate, in the guide area its says, for example, Game Of Thrones: 24/7... where in a different player, it displays as Game Of Thrones exactly as it should?

I have edited my config file for all my 24/7 channels to look like this (see below) and every channel has NAME: 24/7 I even completely removed ##subtitle: and the : 24/7 still is displayed after the channel name?

  <channel update="f" site="fixed_variable" site_id=
  "24@@@@title:Game Of Thrones 
  ##subtitle:
  ##description:Nine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia"
  xmltv_id="Game Of Thrones">Game Of Thrones</channel>

I'm thinking this may have something to do with TiviMate than the config file.... opinions, is there anything I can do?

Thank you.
 

have you looked at the guide.xml thats created to make sure everything is correct?

the epg viewer shouldnt make any difference.

its renders whatever data you feed it.

it doesnt know if its a different show every hour or the same one.

after you made the changes did your refresh the epg data on tvimate by doing a epg update?

btw if your not using a entry(like subtitle) u can omit it but its still fine to do it the way your have it.

<channel update="f" site="fixed_variable" site_id=
  "24@@@@title:Game Of Thrones 
  ##description:Nine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia"
  xmltv_id="Game Of Thrones">Game Of Thrones</channel>

Hello, I removed the line for Subtitle just like you did, ran the grabber and updated the EPG on TiviMate and it still shows NAME: 24/7

I looked at the guide.xml file and noticed this... should the bold line be gone?

<programme start="20250815000000 -0600" stop="20250815010000 -0600" channel="Game Of Thrones">
    <title lang="en">Game Of Thrones</title>
    <sub-title lang="en">24/7</sub-title>
    <desc lang="en">Nine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.</desc>
  </programme>

you had 27/7 as the subtitle before you made the initial changes?

u have to remember that when you do this to either delete the guide.xml or do a <update>f</update> for the changes to take effect.

when webgrab runs in incrimental mode <update>i</update> it compares the start/stop time and the title of the existing and generated data.

if they match then nothing gets updated,in this case the subtitle value is not removed.

I just now realized that before you responded. So I deleted the guide.xml file in my Dropbox folder, ran the grabber which saved a new file in my Dropbox folder, copied the new link created by Dropbox and entered that into TM, updated the EPG and now it just displays the Name. So it looks like TM includes the Subtitle in the EPG area where the other player did not? Regardless... this set-up works perfectly for 24/7 channels. Thanks again!

correct different epg viewers display various amounts of data.

some are capable of showing alot of different values and some display few values.

to get rid of the one minute gap.

edit the fixed_variable.ini and change this line.

index_temp_1.modify {set("24")|00:00-01:00\|01:00-2:00\|02:00-03:00\|03:00-04:00\|04:00-05:00\|05:00-06:00\|06:00-07:00\|07:00-08:00\|08:00-09:00\|09:00-10:00\|10:00-11:00\|11:00-12:00\|12:00-13:00\|13:00-14:00\|14:00-15:00\|15:00-16:00\|16:00-17:00\|17:00-18:00\|18:00-19:00\|19:00-20:00\|20:00-21:00\|21:00-22:00\|22:00-23:00\|23:00-23:59}

to

index_temp_1.modify {set("24")|00:00-01:00\|01:00-2:00\|02:00-03:00\|03:00-04:00\|04:00-05:00\|05:00-06:00\|06:00-07:00\|07:00-08:00\|08:00-09:00\|09:00-10:00\|10:00-11:00\|11:00-12:00\|12:00-13:00\|13:00-14:00\|14:00-15:00\|15:00-16:00\|16:00-17:00\|17:00-18:00\|18:00-19:00\|19:00-20:00\|20:00-21:00\|21:00-22:00\|22:00-23:00\|23:00-00:00}

the only change is at the very end 23:00-00:00 rather than 23:00-23:59

the reason the text file says to use 23:59 is for a 1 show per day program(00:00-23:59).

if we used 00:00-00:00 webgrab thinks ths is a 0 second show and not a 24 hour show.

we can get away with this with and other setting because there is more than one show and webgrab wont get confused..

updated the files in post #13.

all you need to do is set the timezone to America/Phoenix

 

 

Hello, been using the fixed_variable.ini for my 24/7 channels and now I'm ready to branch out and start doing some US Premium Movie channels and US Sports channels EPG Grabbing. If the WG Config file is what makes the grabber work, how do I add other INI's to my config file to get more channel info? Thanks

add more channels for other sites to your webgrab config file.

not sure where your confused?
