EPG Importer Down ?

**dsayers** · 15-09-18, 13:49

I have added the changes but I cant test yet https://github.com/davesayers2014/XM...b0f2883eaa5a63

If anyone tests this don't forget to add nocheck="1" to the sources .xml files.

**dsayers** · 15-09-18, 14:43

Just tested and works fine pr added https://github.com/oe-alliance/XMLTV-Import/pull/29

Hi,

Here are a few explanation about the latest changes in EPGImport:

For IPTV:

You now need to match the service reference between the userbouquet and the channels.xml file.
So if your IPTV channel are properly added using the #SERVICE 4097:.... now in the channels.xml this MUST also be 4097!

https://github.com/OpenPLi/enigma2-p...bcd2582852cbaa

LastUpdate.log:

We have faced several times the following problem, Doglover/Rytec can no longer upload newest file to EPG mirror servers but servers still distribute obsolete EPG data files to client. Result was no EPG even if data was downloaded because data where obsolete.

To prevent this it was decide in accordance with Rytec/Doglover to add a control file: LastUpdate.log, this file must only be set with the last update date when all the files are properly uploaded to it. (date format is YYYY-mm-dd)
So if we have again a server in this bad state it will be rejected by the checkValidServer.

https://github.com/OpenPLi/enigma2-p...6b4525883a8f36

But people that define there own sources.xml file that point to there own server can decide not to use this check (LastUpdate.log) by adding the attribute nocheck="1"

https://github.com/OpenPLi/enigma2-p...3fe790490c01ab

IPTV or custom sources.xml: file custom.channels.xml

When defining sources.xml file it was mandatory to define again all the servers URL.

So for people that use IPTV and create there own sources.xml file and also channels.xml file this create a double donwload from EPG data mirror.

To avoid this an ease the creation of personal .channels.xml files it is now possible to just create one file:

custom.channels.xml

You include in this file all you self created service reference (the same as in your bouquets files).
Just place this file into /etc/epgimport/ folder, it will be readed and processed for every downloaded EPG data file.

No more case sensitive for channel id into channels.xml file:

To ease maintainer life Doglove/Rytec it has been decided to have the channel id=" " no more case sensitive.

So TF1.fr tf1.fr Tf1.fr will now be considered as the same channel for EPG data sources.

In the new version, a file called LastUpdate.log is being used. It is a prerequisite that this file can be downloaded from the server.
However the OpenVIX site seems to be blocking this file.

root@sh1:/etc/epgimport# wget http://rytecepg.dyndns.tv/~rytecepg/...a/rytecIPTV.xz
Connecting to rytecepg.dyndns.tv (91.121.106.172:80)

Connecting to rytecepg.dyndns.tv (91.121.106.172:80)
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
root@sh1:/etc/epgimport#

Any .xz file can be downloaded, but the .log file is blocked.
I am 1000 % sure the file exist on the server, and contains the correct values.

Can Sicilian make sure this file is allowed to be downloaded, pls....

When that file was uploaded was it given 644 permissions?

Can this be changed to use a file called LastUpdate.txt please. Due the recent issues last time I setup the server I added more security and a filewall. It looks like the security is blocking the download of .log files. At this time I cannot find a solution other that the importer to use a .txt file instead.

It's not permissions, I've just also tried 755, 644, 777, just cant get the server to allow download of a .log file.

**dsayers** · 16-09-18, 11:28

Is the above specific for openvix? I tried that in web browser and get permission denied but this works

Code:

wget http://www.xmltvepg.nl/LastUpdate.log

Can someone explain in layman's terms what the issue is and whether a solution will be forthcoming, as I don't understand all the talk about github etc. so am struggling to figure out what to do.

There have been changes to Epgimport to satisfy some file validity requirements and this has impacted some IPTV generated xml source files ..... everything is being updated as fast as possible following tests to get to a final resolution that meets all requirements.
So patience.
