You need to create new file with command

touch /usr/share/tvheadend/data/conf/epggrab/eit/scrape/it

Vorrei il successo

@siviero
There is a patch here to also search the title (case 1):
[[https://tvheadend.org/issues/4287#note-12]]
The patch is not yet submitted.

@Ludi K.
The opentv grabber is different to the dvb grabber. You are probably using the configuration files in data/conf/epggrab/opentv/prov/skyit. I don't know much about it, but it looks to me like epg1 and epg2 have the same "Stagione Ep." format. Perhaps it has slightly different spacing and not matching the regex in that file?

That was strange: the column with the season and episode information was blank on the timer page, but the recorded file had the season and episode information in the filename.

Some channels on Skyit have a new format for the season and episode information in the description field:

S5 Ep18 Le scarpette di Ruby - Un flashback ci mostra Cappuccetto Rosso e Mulan ad Oz. Qui incontrano Dorothy con cui cercano un modo per sconfiggere la Strega una volta per tutte.

So I added a line for it to the season and episode sections of the share/tvheadend/data/conf/epggrab/opentv/prov/skyit file; please have a look at the third line of each section; I added that line and restarted tvheadend:

  "season_num": [
    "([0-9]+)'?a? Stagione +Ep\\. ?[0-9]+[a-z]?",
    "([0-9]+)'?a? Stagione -? ?Puntata ?[0-9]+",
    "S([0-9]+) Ep[0-9]+ ",
    "([0-9]+)'?a? Stagione" 
  ],
  "episode_num": [
    "[0-9]+'?a? Stagione +Ep\\. ?([0-9]+)[a-z]?",
    "[0-9]+'?a? Stagione -? ?Puntata ?([0-9]+)",
    "S[0-9]+ Ep([0-9]+) ",
    "^ *Ep\\. ?([0-9]+)[a-z]?",
    "^ *Puntata ?([0-9]+)",
    " Ep\\. ?([0-9]+) -" 

Thanks in advance for any help.

PS: I am using tvheadend 4.4.20170707 on a synology NAS; in fact, I installed the package provided by dierkse.nl

I can't see anything wrong with them. However, I noticed that a patch for Italy OpenTV has just gone in.

[[https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/pull/1007/commits/07ae54b96d3f2c0ac39d7b91cb1efc115f53e444]]

Your change looks identical to me except yours has a space at the end before the double quotation mark.
Could you double-check your regex against the one on that page? Perhaps what looks like a space isn't actually a space in the description. So, try removing the space and see if it works.

If it works, let me know if you can submit the change, otherwise I'll create a submit request in a few days.

It does not work without the trailing space either.

So, I did a copy paste of the content (not only the diff, but the whole content) of the file corresponding to the link you provided and it does not work either.

Thus, I am currently wondering whether for some reason, the changes to the skyit file get ignored or whether I need a more recent version of Tvheadend, considering that meanwhile (due to the version number of the syno package , I suppose that I am running a git version from 20170707) there have also been other commits concerning the epg.

I will add a comment here, if I make some progress.

The version 20170707 sounds too old, maybe it has an incorrect date since presumably you have the configuration options in EPG Grabber where you can enter "it" for config to use and you have been getting season/episodes.

If you click on "about" tab then it will probably give you the exact version (so 4.3~abcdef) where the "abcdef" is the git commit number (exact last commit). You're right there are other commits, the last one affecting this bug is eight days ago.

In the log (I don't know where it is on your box, maybe /var/log/syslog) there should be a log saying it has loaded the config ok. Something like:

tbl-eit: scraper uk_freesat attempt to load config "uk_freesat" 
tbl-eit: scraper uk_freesat loaded config "uk" 

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. I did not find the revision information on the previously installed tvheadend and if the information that I read on Internet are correct, tvheadend does not write logs on the Synology, yet. (This might now change with DSM6, the current synology system.)

I finally managed to cross compile current tvheadend git (revision 5be1a5a8) for my Synology NAS. (For those interested, I used the spksrc framework, but not the original, but this fork by editing the toolchain version and the version and revision of tvheadend: https://github.com/m4tt075/spksrc/tree/tvh-4.3 ).

The bad news is that tvheadend still does not recognize the new season and episode format in the OpenTV Skyit description.

Does the changes linked in message #7 of this thread, that are also present on my installation work for anybody?

Cheers

Today, the season and episode information have appeared on the timer list, without me changing anything in the meantime.

Now I wonder whether yesterday, they were not sending the information or whether tvheadend needs time to process the data.

But anyway, it is working now, which is the most important.

You should also check in configuration > Channel/EPG > EPG Grabber the Cron lines for the OTA grabbers.

OTA is set to run at 1:15 PM in cron. So, tvheadend tuned again to the channel with the epg data before I checked today. But I still don't know why I did not see the season and episode information already yesterday. However, it is not really relevant, as it seems to work now.

Hello,

could you add the following season regexp for the italian EIT scraping?

1) for season information like "S2 Ep7 Milano" (Italian DVB-T channels: TV8, Cielo)

"\\[?S([0-9]+)\\]?" 

and

2) for season information like "Stagione 4, Ep. 13 - Una scelta difficile." (Italian DVB-T channels: Spike, POP, Cine Sony, Paramount Channel, VH1)

"Stagione ([0-9]+)" 

Thanks.
