TVHeadend EPG in LibreElec

Added by Sean Adams almost 8 years ago

Hi all,

I am having issues getting the EPG in TVHeadend to populate, so I thought I would try XMLTV, but I am struggling to find a good step by step guide on how to install XMLTV from beginning to end.

I am a novice, just starting to use LibreElec, I have installed TVHeadend 4.2, I enable my TV Card which is a DVB-S USB stick. I am in the UK so setup my card with 28.2 Astra. I can get all the channels setup, but the EPG will not populate more than 50 channels with the Over the Air channels. I have also used Bouquets.

I have cancelled Sky as do not want to pay their prices, so really need some help with setting this up. I would really appreciate a walkthrough to install XMLTV. I use a Windows 7 laptop to link to the LibreElec box when using SMB and to configure TVHeadend.

Cheers

Hi all,

Hi all,

I managed to get Webgrabplus addon working in TVHeadend and the EPG is populating. I uploaded guide.xml into the XMLTV setting in TVHeadend config in the addon. The only issue I am having is with the TVHeadend guide timeline, this is not populating?

Any ideas?

Cheers

You can alwys have a look at https://freetoairamerica.wordpress.com/2014/12/03/some-hints-for-getting-free-to-air-satellite-channels-into-the-electronic-program-guide-in-kodi-or-xbmc-or-another-frontend/ but since the "Elec" type software won't let you access a Linux command line, and because you are not in North America, it won't be fully applicable, though parts of it still may be.

Hello Sean

How's it going with the guide?
I really would like some (or much) help to setup a working EPG on my TVheadend.
