AZBox TV API

**digihoe** · 06-02-2010, 10:18 PM

Glad to see that the API has also be been updated to 0.2, maybe soon we can have better EPG...

I found that if you add:

Code:

	struct memory_status_st eit_mem;
	TVSDK_InitEITMemory();
	TVSDK_GetEITMemoryStatus(&eit_mem);

before TVSDK_AddEPGInfo
then you can write every thing to EPG memory (some kind of initialization of Epg stuff)

limak,

DO you have code for the xml parser. I wrote some but i have difficulties to get const char* to the unsigned char array provided by opensat.

Cheers,

Tommy

Thanks,

Will test it. didn't get mine compiled :(. Worked without including the azbox files but only compiled with g++ --> azbox files gave loads of errors on g++ :(.

Will write a nice shell script around it to make use of xmltv files with multiple channels.

Regards,

Tommy

Do You share the sources too?

However thanks!!!

I'm not very proud of this code, I don't remember when I code ANSI C last time

but if you want it send me pm

@limak:

Can you have a look at what Rytec creates? http://www.rytec.be

He provides gzipped xmltv files online, which can be downloaded and processed, for several packages.

A lot of details can be found in a convenient way on the website.

I think he has built one of the most useful EPG parsers so far.

I am just creating a sh script for this ;-)

need some help though with creating a channel.txt file -> map all the freqs en stuff to the xml channels. Like rytecs channels.xml file

**limak** · 12-02-2010, 08:22 PM

Soory but I dont have spare time to create lookup table with channels id from xmltv and freq, sid, tid, nid, etc. But now it sould be easy to make some decent epg downloader now. I just share my code with some people.
Have a nice weekend

Thanks Sattommy, let me know if I can help you out in any way.

@Limak: Thanks for your work so far

**hfmls** · 12-02-2010, 08:42 PM

sorry the noobish guys.

is this an EPG plugin?

if so, can i use it in hispasat?

if not, what is it?

**Smudger** · 12-02-2010, 08:46 PM

It's the start of a epg populator with data from internet could be called a plugin when setup. I've tried to use it without success at the moment.

**hfmls** · 12-02-2010, 08:51 PM

it crashed my box, hehe

i dunno if i did it right. gonna wait for something more user friendly for me

**tapper** · 12-02-2010, 09:00 PM

I just get a black screen when accessing the plugin via the remote, but after entering anoter line for it to download the bbc1 xml , I ran ./epgdownload and it downloaded the data and created the xml files successfully

manually running ./epgwriter I get this

Code:

MMP[EpgWriter]$ ./epgwriter

EpgWriter ver 0.1 by limak
Usage:
epgwriter XMLTVFileName Azbox_network_id NID TID frequency SID polarisation

Example: epgwriter tvn24.xmltv 6 318 1000 11393000 4312 1

( polarisation: horizontal=0, vertical=1, Azbox_netword_id=6 for HotBird 13E )

I take it that Ive got to put in all the right params from here

**Smudger** · 12-02-2010, 09:01 PM

can someone explain the parameters 6 318 12800 11075000 6 1
used when calling the program.

I see its 14 for 28.2

152 for Hispasat.

think I've got it using Maz channel editor for details.

sat number NID ??? Channel Frequency sat number H/V 0 or 1

can't work out the 12800

got it working for bbc1 on 28.2

./epgwriter bbc1.bbc.xmltv 14 2 2048 10817500 10355 1 > bbc1.bbc.xmltv.log

just noticed the previous post.

**tapper** · 12-02-2010, 09:45 PM

ok I think i sussed the params

I ran

Code:

 ./epgwriter bbc1.sat.xmltv 14 2 2048 1081800 10355 1

is it missing the fact that this file exists bbc1.sat.xmltv do I need to set a path.?

Also it couldnt open the Dat files which where I presume the epg is stored

Code:

MMP[EpgWriter]$ ./epgwriter bbc1.sat.xmltv 14 2 2048 1081800 10355 1

wget -O bbc1.bbc.xmltv hxxp://tvprofil.net/xmltv/data/bbc1.sat/weekly_bbc1.sat_tvprofil.net.xml
