Hi,
as you know xmltv2vdr is made for complete EPG replacement for VDR.
I want to add xmltv-data to EPG for some channels. For example discovery-channel has just now/next info, and I want to import full EPG for just this channel, and use DVB supplied EPG for others.
This is because tv_grab_fi with all channels takes a lot of time, and I don't get satellite info from there (I've DVB-C & DVB-S -system).
I modified xmltv2vdr.pl just by dropping "CLRE"-command and its response, so other channels would not clear. It ran ok, but after tuning to discovery still no extended EPG.
I am guessing that to fix this I need to make EPG-scan to 0, but I don't want to do that. Any ideas?
Possible ideas: - EPG scan to 0 - doesn't update other channels - modify xmltv2vdr to make "scan" -command? - change PCR pid (or what is the data pid) to false value - VDR 'auto-pid' will detect this and change it? - other problems on channel - and will not turn off 'auto-pid' because satellite entries constantly changes - change VDR EPG handling and configuration, with 'no_auto_epg'-flag on channels.conf. For example to same flag-field like polarity etc. - add SVDRP CLRE-command a parameter: channel to be cleared.
Or is there more simple solutions?
Best regards, Jori

Are you using Canal Digital Nordic for the Discovery Channel?
If yes, maybe this helps you:

Canal Digital Nordic (on Thor) send their 'extended' EPG data on 12456 (same transponder as Discovery Travel). It's sent fairly slowly but after tuning to this transponder and leaving a scan running for 15 minutes or so, I get a few days of program data for all channels.
This is a regular EPG stream, so VDR will pick up the data natively. It doesnt need (or use) mhwepg.
