EPG on Canal Digital (DVB-EPG) Norway

Zitat von corvy

If I backspace out of the menu and back in the mapping is gone. What am I doing wrong?

The vdr way of leaving a menu screen with saving changes is pressing ok (which won't work if currently a menu element for free text entry is selected, so in this case you may need to move the cursor to a menu item with predefined values).

Glad to hear.

when you use honeybee do you get images in the GUI of Kodi as-well (or do you only use OSD directly from VDR?

corvy, Kodi get the epg-images from vdr epg database. But the problem is to download the episode images from honeybee to /var/lib/epgsources/imgfolder, transform the xmltv file from https reference to file reference and import this into the xmltv2vdr plugin for each episode.

Xmltv2vdr do not support downloading images from Internet, only serve the filepath for the imagefile to vdr.

You need to use the Kodi Leia build for epg image support.

Example : transform the icon tag in xml file from https reference to file reference

Here is the episode image this https reference:
<icon src="https://old.cdn.actor/episode/image/763373/w780_rUpyCOLgWlaOCsn05T8xIHnSOBO.jpg"/>

We need to have it like this I believe:
<icon src="file:///var/lib/epgsources/imgfolder/old.cdn.actor/episode/image/763373/w780_rUpyCOLgWlaOCsn05T8xIHnSOBO.jpg"/>

We can do this with xslt transform file. Example from tvm2xmltv

<xsl:variable name="PICS">
            <xsl:for-each select="Bild [@Kategorie='ImportBild']|*/Bild [@Kategorie='ImportBild']">
                 <xsl:element name="icon">
                  <xsl:attribute name="src">file:///var/lib/epgsources/tvm2xmltv-img/<xsl:value-of select="BildDatei/BildURL"/></xsl:attribute>
                           </xsl:element>
               <xsl:text>&#x0A;</xsl:text>
            </xsl:for-each>
        </xsl:variable>

Sorry to say it, but if you want epg images in Kodi tvheadend is a better choice. But I going to try to find a way to this also in vdr.

Attached is the official fix for the missing EPG data on Canal Digital Norway.

Apparently this broadcaster sends the future EPG for all channels (even those on other transponders) on one single transponder, instead of sending the data for the channels on the same transpoder as the actual programmes.

The change to eit.c for version 2.4.0, which stopped it from parsing the tables for future EPG data on other transponders (introduced to avoid problems with broadcasters that send faulty EPG data), apparently broke the EPG for Canal Digital Norway.

I love the fact that dvblink/tvmosaic creates images in kodi for recordings, and GUI candy in EPG would be nice

You can try IPTV Simple PVR w/Recording Support (IPTV with recording) which support importing xmltv files and gives you GUI candy. You only need to install the with vdr-plugin-streamdev-server which gives you m3u-playlist which you import into iptv simple pvr client.
