How to update Rytec sources

[WOIIFTM]

I noticed Rytec regulary provides updates to EPG sources. These updates should be installed in /etc/epgimport. I also learned that since some time a random server is used. I have some problems with epg and just want to make sure I use the latest setup provided by Rytec.

In the latest VIX image two files are present in the /etc/epgimport location: sourcelist.xml and vix.sources.xml

The sourcelist file contains data in this format:

http://_site address_/epg_data/rytec.sources.xml
...

The vix.sources.xml contains data in this format:

<source type="epg.dat" channels="http://_site address_/rytec.channels.xml.gz">
<description>Satmate Sky UK</description>
<url>[url]http://_site address_/satmate/skyuk_epg.dat.gz</url>
</source>

The updates Rytec provides contains data in this format:

<channel name="http://_site address_/rytec.channels.xml.gz">
<url>http://_site address_/rytec.channels.xml.gz</url>
...
</channel>

<channel name="http://_site address_/rytec.channels-denmark.xml.gz">
<url>http://_site address_/rytec.channels-denmark.xml.gz</url>
...
</channel>>

The Rytec update clearly doesn't match the format of the xml files in the /etc/epgimport/ location. So can I add the updated Rytec rytec.sources.xml to this location or do I need to edit the sourcelist.xml or vix.sources.xml file?

Hm, not much enthusiasm on this, so either I'm the only one trying to improve the efficiency of the Rytec EPG.

So this comes from an source update from Rytec on the OpenPli forum:

2011-05-19: Added URL for the random download option (thanks to Vuplus Community) and changed URL for random download (VIX Team)

Not a single post I can find on this on the VIX forum. Surely I don't need to go to the OpenPli forum to find VIX support

Solved, updates of the VIX specific Rytec sources file can be found on Rytec's homepage. Google is your friend.

hello guys,

sourcelist file on rytec.be page is obsolete. Can somebody provide a new one, which is up-to-date? I tried to manually replace links in old sourcelist file, but afterwards it was not detected by ViX image anymore. I dont know why??!

You need to use the defualt file in the ViX image as it choose's random download servers so its always online
