Tvheadend

XMLTV has no concept of series (not in the truest sense, the best it will
do is given the season/episode number and some software will then match
that and title). At the moment TVH doesn't have anyway within autorec to
match by season number etc.. It's been on the list since I rewrote the EPG
code, but just never had time to do the DVR rewrite yet.

The config is not flexible enough to allow you to say this channel
shouldn't use OpenTV (though I've found myself wishing for that option, so
again one day it'll happen).

Unfortunately I cannot offer you any quick solutions at the moment. Mixing
EPG systems is definitely something that is known to cause problems, and
while I've tried to allow things to co-habit, it will always result in some
sub-standard performance (because the matching relies on certain levels of
accuracy in the data).

Tvheadend - XMLTV: Mix of XMLTV and OpenTV Grabbers
Pluto P

Hi All, hi Adam,
I have two problems with my system wich now use two kind of grabbers.

XMLTV gets much more information, it gets subtitle and description too.

But i need to use OpenTV because if i use tv_grab_it Tvheadend doesn't
recognize tvseries, even if there are serie and episode number in subtitle
i get the "autorec" option instead of the "recording series" option.
When using OpenTV i can get the series option even if the episode info is
only in the description (subtitle is always empty).

That could be a solution, but i have if OpenTV solve that problem, it
cause onother one:
th opentv epg is dummy for some channels, there is only the name of the
channel in the description, but it overwrite the full description already
populatedt by the xmltv grabber.

So my questions are:
is there a way i can get xmltv recognize the series (so i will use only
that)?
is there a way i can avoid tha OpenTV update some channels (so i don't
loose some info)?

Thank you for respone, and for your great effort in this project!

Bye!

Thank you for the quickly answers!
I understand what you said, i take it.

Why don't you think it is a good compromise maching title and season/episode number given by xmltv to identify a series? Maybe it could be an option of the schedule.

Bye!
