I am about to roll back. Like I said in the other thread. After this change, it was causing a LOT of repeats showing as new episodes and schedculed to record. So now "Fast N Loud" is scheduled to record 3-4 episodes tomorrow with generic descriptions, New episodes are only on Monday night @ 9. This only started after ths adjustment on the other thread (23 didn't have this issue). It STILL is showing to record the new episode and then record the replay of the same episode like 4 hours later, this...

Added the -j to my command line, and all it did was add repeats that was scheduled to record (10 of them over a week) and they were clearly repeats, I used EPG123's clear guide data feature, wiped out the guide info, Re-downloaded with out the -j and all the repeats that it added were not scheduled any more. So in my case the -j caused more problems....

Ah, interesting about the -N 1 command, I will udpate my script to apply this, and I will do a command to delete all the cache before downloading new data. I only set my download to give 10 days. I head issues going out past 7-10 days with generic data. I DO want it to update data if there is a change on the new import. I don't want to cause a lot of traffic on Zap2it but, I want good data. Thanks for info guys... If you need anything else from me, please let me know. I do know the Discovery channel...

Here is an updated XMLTV if it will help. I see the same issue for next week's episode, I am sure it's affecting other shows... Thanks again for helping getting to the bottom of this...

After checking "Set empty previously shown tags to default date" and re-downloading the guide, I see only 1 Simpson episode scheduled to record in the next 10 days... Thanks ! I found another issue, I have not gone through the logs yet fully today... The show Fast N' Loud, it's set to only record NEW episodes in WMC. On Discovery channel they replay the same episode later for the west coast feeds (I am on the EAST coast). For tonight, in Guide, the 9pm one is scheduled to record(as it should) but,...

Hi, I spent some time today looking through the scheduled shows and the Zap2it file... and here is what I found... NOTE: This is on the simpsons episiodes only. I didn't check any other examples of shows... Only this one because it annoys me too much :) The repeats will all give a generic description of "This long-running animated comedy focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state. ".... When looking in the Zap2xml file, I see the episode num and what it shows......

Downloading and downloading a new guide now...Thanks for the update. What I would love to see, and would spot instantly if it was fixed is Simpson episodes, It gives generic descriptions, no orignal record date but, they are still scheduled to be recorded. I have it set to only record NEW Episodes... I must have 8-10 repeats scheduled to record as of right now in my scheduled shows... EDIT: No change to Simpson episodes, I will compare them on Zap2it to see if they have a flag or anything.... There...

This is not good if he is giving up on the project. He updated it very quickly when there was a change... We'll if he has given up, I hope he passes the torch to someone else that will keep it up.
-
If you have a beta version with these changes, I would love to try it/update to it..
-
I noticed that too, not orginal but images that refer to the show... and I think it looks so much better with an image there. Rovi matched up images maybe 25% of the time correctly...
-
Thanks. The KEY thing with images, is you really should MARK the channels you get for FAVS... So on my cable system (using a cablecard) I get only about 120 channels but out of those, only about 70 are usefull to me (Who watches SD any more ?) and there is over 250+ on the system. When I first checked that box (download all Images), I didn't have any favs marked, it downloaded over 6gb of images from Zap2it(took HOURS)... I went in and marked my channels, It dropped it down to a little less than...
-
Yes, Images for shows/movies, etc. I went on Zap2it... Faved all the channels I get (so it does not download EVERY IMAGE for every channel), then where you set your XML file, Select "Store Images locally" . This IS downloading the XMLTV from Zap2it as shown above here, it is a feature of the program once you mark a channel as a fav, it will only download data for those channels. Keep in mind this dowloads every image for every show/movie in your current guide, if you let it do all, in my case cable,...

After selecting my 70 or so channels (as favs on Zap2it and using Zap2XML to download),...

Steve, One question for you. Does your image downloader check for current images so it does not re-download, or does it automaticly re-download them all again ? Refering to the C:\Users\<user name="">\AppData\Local\Geekzone\EPG Collector\Images</user> This is from the XML import (from Zap2it), as it lists all the images and if it did a check and only downloaded what it neeed to update, it would take less of a hit on Zap2it... Was kind of hoping this would make it go quicker...

Thanks, been playing with this all day and got information and images working...and only 2gb of images for the guide.. I used My Channels XL to import the logos in the guide, they stil will disapear ? I used that on Windows 7 for the longest time, it kept the same logos in the guide for well ove a year. Interesting... I have moved over to 8.1....so it's a new setup. Thanks for your info...
-
Thanks for the post, I hope to see you get a little deeper on it. I am NOT using OTA, I am using Cable... same kind of setup and can be setup the exact way, as you are importing the XMLTV from Zap2it, just like cable users are. I have some questions.... 1. -i "C:\ProgramData\MyChannelLogos\Logos\Custom" - Once you get your guide with the logos working good....Shouldn't you remove this part? Do you need to keep downloading all the guide logos every update ? (never mind like 10 of mine didn't work,...
