0%
Description
need built-in support for EPGDATA.COM :)
(a commercial epg grabber for europe)
http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/Europe
for openelec we have to install activePerl make some modifications for xmltv to run a Perl script:
http://openelec.tv/forum/71-pvr--live-tv/40321-xmltv-adding-a-new-grabber
could be easier.
two other problem since hts-tvheadend-7630970:
1.)
you have changed "xmltv channel name" to "EPG Grab Source" -> in the xmltv channel-mapping.
Often the value of "EPG Grab Source" is a number or some cryptic stuff for me. (hard to match channels)
2.)
Besides these it is no longer possible for me to map one xmltv-channel-source at two channels.
(for example the HD and SD channel of Pro7 have the same xmltv-source.)
thx

If this is an XMLTV compatible script then its already supported. If it's not a "standard" script found by the grabber scan, then you can enable the external (unix socket) interface and send data directly to that using netcat (from say a cronjob).
I know the above isn't that well documented, but then its beta code so you have to accept a certain level of digging and asking 
With regards to the other issues:
1. This was actually intentional, use of channel names is ambiguous for some people. However I will look at adding the name back in as well as the ID.
2. I thought about this at the time, but from personal experience couldn't think of a reason some one might do this. However its a viable point. Unfortunately the tricky bit is actually handling the configuration for this, but I will take a look.
I recommend that you submit feature requests for 1 and 2 (please submit separately).
