Re: XMLTV guide data

Added series-id tag (non-standard) and star-rating tag (standard). Nick I was actually grabbing star ratings from the movie description since it is embedded at the end of it. Added my code to get it from the new star-rating element and it fell flat. Star-rating isn't compliant to the dtd... should ...

Re: XMLTV guide data

I was creating schema from the XMLTV DTD, which states: Each channel has one id attribute, which must be unique Which is why I opted to include all channel numbers a station was broadcast on in the <display-name> elements of a single <channel> for EPG123... it was my compromise on file size and com...

Re: XMLTV guide data

There's been a little discussion on this already. I must say, I am fundamentally against creating unique IDs for each channel and instead use the unique ID for the station assigned to the channel.

This way I can properly identify sporting events. 2) related to above is a Live indicator. Though not part of the DTD, it has become somewhat accepted to include <live /> t...

Re: XMLTV guide data

Example (of what you service may need to return, one set of tuner numbers per group): <channel id="US16604.hdhomerun.com"> <display-name>JTV</display-name> <display-name>1037 JTV</display-name> <display-name>1037</display-name> <icon src="https://img.hdhomerun.com/channels/US16604.pn...
