Plugin: DVB4Sage EPG Importer
Description:
This plugin works in conjunction of DVB4Sage. It requires to have the EIT/EPG part configured on the DVB4Sage so it will parse and add the corresponded data to lineups / channels. It works by opening a TCP Port on the SageTV server which listens for the events that DVB4Sage sends every day for EPG updates. It has been tested to work on DVBS setups with NA providers (Dish Network and Sky Mexico). It features automatic channel mapping from the data sent from DVB4Sage, so new channels should appear automaticlly on your Program Guide without manually adding the channel ![]() Expect a DVB4Sage beta release soon which supports the use of this plugin (current exe on google code doesnt support it, this additions are on SVN repo). We will try to include a documentation of the syntax we are currently using to send the data, in case some other developers want to try to send other epg events to the same plugin ![]() Big props to CodeMonkey for working on the EPG parsing on DVB4Sage and mpogr for developing DVB4Sage Enjoy ![]() Other links DVB4Sage Thread DVB4Sage Google code Project page

Hello.......Was just wondering if you could please point me in the right direction for this? I love dvbe4sage and definitely like to use its full features. I've seen an eit.ini file in the source code but no where is there a guide on how to set this up. Is it still supported? Any help would be much appreciated.

No problem, I guess you know that the EPG on the DVB transport stream is quite basic and very limited indeed, so I would personally recommend richest data source like the WebGrab+Plus or mc2xml which works very well with SageTV in conjunction with the Stephane's XMLTV importer.

EPG Collector
If you want to use the EPG data from the stream I suggest using EPG Collector, its really simple as long as you have XMLTV Importer.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/epgcollector/ I have just noticed that XMLTV Importer no longer seems to be available as the site has been down for some time http://www.lmgestion.net |

Is it possible to get EPG-Data from different sources for different channels in one lineup ? e.g.: EPG data via mc2xml for channel 1 and EPG data for channel 2 from DVB transport stream ? Last edited by wubdich; 09-13-2014 at 03:45 PM. Reason: additional question added |

However please be aware that depending from the country the DVB-TS EPG could be very limited, with poor or non-existent metadata, sometimes with errors and it doesn't normally contain data for more than 7 days, also it is time zone dependent, that is supposed you are in Germany (GMT+1) and wanted to see some UK channels (GMT) the UK data in your EPG will be shown 1 hour earlier.

IMHO, unless your server doesn't have access to the Internet or only dial-up available, it is better to get your EPG data from other sources. Hope it helps Eddy
