Multi Bouquet

[DaMacFunkin]

Is it possible to create or edit a xml that will just import epg data from downloaded rytec providers for a multi sat populated bouquet, ie just my listed HD movie channels, rather than every channel in rytec germany, france, spain etc.
Thanks.

When you have local an own webserver, like a NAS, yes you can.
Make your own rytec.channels.xml.gz with the channels you only want to have EPG, place it in your own webserver and change in /usr/crossepg/providers/rytec_xxxxxx_xmltv.conf (the one you want to use) line 3 channels_url_0=http://.......... pointing to the local rytec.channels.xml.gz on your webserver.

How will the xml instruct the download of specific channels only from multiple epg xml files?
The reason i want to be able to do this is i have a multi HD Movie bouquet, to get full epg for these channels i have to enable xml import for about 9 countries, the parsing of events can take over two hours which just isn't viable.
Thanks for any help

Download the original rytec.channels.xml.gz and modify it as you wish to have.
Here an example I made for my provider, who isn't supported by Rytec.
This way I have 7 days EPG and it fills in the channels where my provider has no EPG for.

Hello, i have finally got round to trying this, i have created my xml.gz and loaded it to my web server, i have edited a conf file to point at and download this file, which it does, but what do i enter for the epg source? This is what my conf looks like:
description=Rytec UK XMLTV
protocol=xmltv
channels_url_0=http://192.xxx.x.xxx/public/rytec.channels.xml.gz
epg_url_0=http://www.vuplus-community.net/rytec/rytecxmltvuk.gz
epg_url_1=http://www.ebook-directory.net/rytecxmlepg/rytecxmltvuk.gz
epg_url_2=http://xmltvepg.wanwizard.eu/rytecxmltvuk.gz
epg_url_3=http://rytec.sifteam.eu/rytecxmltvuk.gz
epg_url_4=http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.com/epg_data/rytecxmltvuk.gzpreferred_language=eng

Like i said my list is from many different country's, is there just one universal epg_url i can add which will pull in all my channels, or will i have to enter a epg url for all the different country's, and if so won't that sort of defeat the object?
Thanks.

I guess you must do the trick for each country.
e.g. rytecxmltvuk.gz has only EPG data for the UK channels.

so i would put:

epg_url_0=http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.com/epg_data/rytecxmltvbenl.gz
epg_url_1=http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.com/epg_data/rytecxmltvnordic.gz
epg_url_2=http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.com/epg_data/rytecxmltvcsat.gz
epg_url_3=http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.com/epg_data/rytecxmltvskyde.gz
epg_url_4=http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.com/epg_data/rytecxmltvmagyar.gz
epg_url_5=http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.com/epg_data/rytecxmltvskyit.gz
epg_url_6=http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.com/epg_data/rytecxmltvpoland.gz
epg_url_7=http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.com/epg_data/rytecxmltvportugal.gz
epg_url_8=http://enigma2.world-of-satellite.com/epg_data/rytecxmltvdplus.gz
preferred_language=eng

?

I don't think that's gonna work.
The urls in the file looks like 'backup' urls. When no result on url_0, try url_1 etc.
Mod multiple conf files like the one you did for UK.

[DaMacFunkin]

Yeah i had already worked that out, so basically if any one is going to try this you need to add (overwrite):
channels_url_0=http://192.xxx.x.xxx/public/rytec.channels.xml.gz
to all the different rytec files, france, spain, germany, nordic etc, painful but it does now work, takes a while downloading all the files but it parses the info pretty quicky, less than 10 mins in all which is a lot better than the near 2 hours it was taking before.
