Awesome. Thank you so much for continuing to look into it! :D In the meantime, what do you think about me uninstalling the record engine from the local computer that's currently running everything and installing it on the server across the house? If you're on the right track, maybe that would build...

but let's see what we can find out! Thanks so much for responding! :P I've emailed you copies of the above-referenced Kodi and YYYYMMDD.log files. Thanks for offering to take a look. So just some more information addressing the operating environment and potential issues you raised in your reply... ...

Update on what is now going to be called "v3.0.0" -- the EPG replacement project :) While I was hoping to be far enough along to have a beta out for you by tonight, I missed that target. I'm still a day or two (or three) away from that. It turns out that all the little tweaks and settings added over...

It really didn't turn out to be a problem for me. I just had to add a level of indirection to go through the channels to get to the listings instead of iterating the listings directly. No big deal in the end!

Hello! LOVE this add-on! Thank you so much for the time and effort you've put into this! I've been using it for years, but I have a small problem I was hoping I could get help with --and I've just gotten around to creating a log file if that helps... the file is almost a MB and too big for pastebin...

I agree in principal. It's just a different mindset than before and can be worked with easily enough. Instead of having programming relating back to a single channel it can now relate back to multiple channels. If the data is stored (even if temporarily) and can be referenced it wouldn't be difficul...

First, thank you for adding <series-id> for Movies :) I've run into a problem with the <channel> elements ... There is a duplicate id attribute in the data retrieved for my authorization codes. I see "US86442.hdhomerun.com" twice, which will ultimately associate all listings for the second channel b...

Added series-id tag (non-standard) and star-rating tag (standard). Nick Thank you Nick! It looks like Movies (MV) aren't being assigned a <series-id> tag, is that expected? It appears on the surface this can be generated by simply removing the "." from the dd_progid value for these items, should I ...

I didn't see THAT much difference here but I'm glad - bonus! That has to be the data compression at work, I wish I knew that was an option earlier! Now that I think about it I was comparing the load time of the new method with only 3 days of data to the old method with 14 days. I'll get you back to...

You should see little to no difference other than maybe EPG loads are a smidge faster. A smidge ? I just got the update on my RPi2 and the EPG loads in about two seconds now. It was taking minutes to load before. Thanks for the awesome PVR addon. It just keeps getting better! I didn't see THAT much...

I was expecting to take December "off" since things were slow and generally stable, but ... mitigating circumstances :) Version 2.4.2 (2019.12.05) Add dependency on zlib library v1.2.11 Add "Use Original Air Date timestamp for Recorded TV programs" setting Enable DEFLATE and GZIP encoding support fo...

I've been playing around with Matrix and Comskip the past couple of days. I like how it puts red marks over the commercial breaks on the seek-bar when using EDL files. EDL seems to be hit or miss for me. They work for some recordings but not all of them. It seems to help on some of them if I add "a...

@garyan2 , do you happen to know if there is a reference point available for what I assume are the Gracenote genres coming in via the Category tags? Just scanning my own data I have 97 unique top-level categories, which is quite a lot to deal with, and I'm sure it's a small subset of what's possibl...

Update on the new EPG stuff; I got it hooked up end-to-end and it's looking great! It's FAST compared to the current method. It's fun to watch too since the data doesn't come in by channel order, so if you have the EPG up you can see Kodi fill it in like a puzzle :) The new data set is delivered as ...

Thanks guys! Every little bit helps! I'm pretty much done with the first part of using the new format (parsing it all out), I may be able to have a prototype/alpha type build for people to test by this weekend. I wasn't aware SD had made mention of the XMLTV payload public, but you can also watch th...
