EPG
Sorry for the delay folks, I'm almost ready to go....shouldn't be more
than a couple more days at most...I've been very busy lately, websites
to manage, work to do, conferences to organise!

Anyhow the unencumbered epg service is nearly here and it will need
_YOU_ to make it work....details soon...I pwomise...

This release will be the YFTVNZ release.

You can only get two days (or so) from EIT. BUT:

1. the data is essentially the same as for the satellite feeds (bar a
couple of channels) so use your exiting data source; or

2. There is a method (present status unknown to me, search the
archives) to get the info from MHEG, which is the method Freeview
DVB-T distrbutes its EPG info.

Not exactly.

One of the nice things about MythTV is the ability to separate the
listings source from the actual viewing source. You can still get your
listings from where you normally do but use these for the DVB-T
channels.

Long(ish) range DVB-T listings data in NZ is not transmitted via EIT
like on DVB-S, but rather in a proprietary MHEG5 container. There have
been projects discussed on this list before on how to extract the data
from this, so it is possible if you wanted to go that route.

Personally I use epgnsoop to grab the listings data off the satellite
and then use this data on all my sources including DVB-T.

There are a number of options for listings but several ways are (in no
particular order):

* Downloading listings off the web (eg nzepg.org)
* Grabbing data from DVB-S using epgsnoop and friends
* Extracted MHEG5 data from DVB-T

On DVB-T the EIT data is very limited, as far as I know it only shows
the current programme and the next programme. The full data is in MHEG5.

I'm guessing that most people just use the XMLTV data from nzepg.org.
For me, feeding and watering an MHEG5 scraper would be an exercise in
WAF reduction.

Certainly the tv_grab_nz-py script that downloads from nzepg.org is
(IMHO) the easiest way to go, but either should be fully automated
once set up. The W shouldn't even know or care how the data gets
there.

I would tend to agree. The only issues would arise if the box in
question did not have access to the Internet, although even when you
grab the listings yourself having an Internet connection greatly
improves the quality of the data (with the numerous processors
available.)

I do grab the data using epgsnoop but I use that data to feed a number
of MythTV systems, and I also grab data from other satellites where
available. I also grab data for a certain pay TV operator which is not
available from nzepg.org (for obvious reasons.)

If you have a DVB-T only system and an Internet connection nzepg.org
for your listings source would seem to be the way to go.

Right, but mythtv is currently not automatically extracting MGEG5
data, and the person I'm enquiring for has no dish.
so we need a permanent internet connection. Given the traffic that
discussing nzepg.org and
tv_grab_nz-py generate, is it safe to say its a reliable long term
script or will it as Jonathan puts it need "feeding and watering"
or is that minimal, eg once or twice a year?

That will be the least maintenance option.

Any form of direct grabbing is going to require considerably more
maintenance over the course of a year than tv_grab_nz-py.

The only time any maintenance is going to be required with
tv_grab_nz-py is if the site with the listings changes, which only tends
to happen when a certain pay TV operator goes on a legal rampage. If
past experiences are anything to go by, this should be _less_ than once
or twice a year.

The volunteer running nzepg.org appears to keep it reasonably well
maintained so usually any issues that arise are sorted before they
become an issue (eg missing guide data is sorted before most people will
have run out of it - assuming a once per day grab.)

I agree, using tv_grab_nz has been super reliable for me. My gardening
references were aimed at implementing an MHEG5 scraper, which while
I'm sure some list members are quite happy doing it, has more moving
parts involved.

If you don't want to use a scraping site, you can use the MHEG-5 converter
that I wrote. This is NOT a scraper or service, it converts MHEG-5 data
dumped from the DVB-T stream. The trade-off is that it doesn't have as
much detail such as show category.

However, it provides 7 days worth of listings, HD/Surround
sound/captions/freeview rating flags, descriptions, title and a unique
episode + series reference numbers. It does not need a internet
connection as it works completely offline. It has limited support for
matching categories that is provided in a local file. It matches based on
series ID or title, then sets the categories listed in the file. This
means you need to update the file with the new series name/ID and what
categories you want manually.

And this is from the status page in mythweb:

Last mythfilldatabase run started on 2011-03-31 08:01 and ended on
2011-03-31 08:01. mythfilldatabase ran, but did not insert any new
data into the Guide for 1 of 1 sources. This can indicate a potential
grabber failure.
There's guide data until 2011-04-04 06:00 (4 days).

I get my data from there and have 7 days worth at the moment.

From what somebody told me a week or two ago the Telstra or Telecom
proxy has been quite aggressive so it's possible it may be caching an
old file.

I am on telstra.

How do I get around that?

Maybe try setting a couple of extra headers on the HTTP request, around line 56 in the Python script:

'Pragma': 'no-cache'
'Cache-Control': 'no-cache'

Might override the dodgy Telstra cache.

FYI - I'm on Telecom and I am getting an up-to-date version every time.

I'm on XNET, checked my listings from work a little while ago and they
were also cutting off on Sunday. Manually ran a mythfilldatabase and
it's downloaded them so I presume there was a problem that was recently
fixed.

I cheated and pointed my download script at work's squid proxy.
Telstraclear is not very receptive to requests to bypass caching, but
you can try emailing webmaster@paradise.net.nz

Or vote with your feet and change ISP. I'm hanging out for VDSL.

Another option is to use epgsnoop off a DVB card and get your data from
the air rather than a download. Decrease your dependence on the network.

I added those lines, with a comma after each, and then ran
mythfilldatabase and now have 7 days data. Whether it is a
co-incidence, or whether the extra headers made a difference, I cannot
say.
