Schedules Direct Kodi addon?

Added by edit4ever ! over 8 years ago

Would someone be wiling to compile this addon for Raspberry Pi 2/3 so I could test it as a solution for a source for Tvh?

[[https://github.com/astrilchuk/sd2xmltv/tree/master/kodi]]

Looking for a way to run an xmltv generator on an openelec/libreelec machine without having to get it from another computer.

--- update, I finally got my Linux virtual box up and running and compiled this. It's actually not system dependent, just a normal compile for Kodi. Got it up and running on both an Rpi3 running LibreELEC and an android box (M8S+) running OpenELEC. Now I don't have to use another system to generate the xmltv file. Works great for North America, but requires a Schedules Direct account.

check out https://github.com/edit4ever/script.module.zap2xml for absolute easiest way to get north american EPG. Its free and can use TVGuide to get season episode information, icons and more.
I have tried a bunch of ways using multiple computers and online storage, but this takes the cake.
you will have to follow instructions on zap2xml site for your set up

Agree with Schmell Mafeet that zap2xml is the way to go. This article may assist you in getting it set up; even though it's on a satellite site the instructions and hints are equally valid for over the air channels.

Thanks guys...I'm actually one of the creator of the [[https://github.com/edit4ever/script.module.zap2xml]] addon.

I never updated this post from my original question. And actually, I have compiled Astrilchuk's schedules direct version as well for those folks who want to use SD for a full data set. [[https://www.dropbox.com/s/86kueu0w73v68yb/tools.module.sd2xmltv-0.1.2.zip?dl=0]]

If you have any suggestions for the addon, let me know!

And a big thanks to Schmell Mafeet for the url code issue. :)

The XMLTV utils includes tv_grab_sd_json, which pulls from SchedulesDirect's JSONs servers and outputs XMLTV. I've been using this since July and have great results .... I find it far superior to their DataDirect (tv_grab_na_dd) grabber, and find that I tend to get more data (Season/Episode information, 3 full weeks of guide, &c.), and the descriptions are formatted better ...

Hoping to get a little help. I have TVH running on a RPi 2 with Libreelec as a DVR server only. I installed the sd2xmltv add on following the directions on github and compiling with Libreelec. I have set TVH to use it as the internal grabber and it appears to start but not work. Here is the TVH log file output.

This is from the sd2xmltv.log file.

I searched my system for a xmltv.xml file but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron

Which version are you running? (check the addon number in kodi)

I haven't used astrilchuk's sd2xmltv addon in awhile - but I can take a look.

The error looks like a problem with the logging.cfg file. It references missing the 'formatters' section - but as long as the logging.cfg file is there the formatters section is on line 12.

Maybe do a quick reinstall of the sd2xmltv addon to make sure all the files setup correctly?
