TV Guide description? - x-cimo - 2012-10-20
I configured the TV guide on the Media portal TV server with the xmltv plugin. The xml looks like this:
Code:
<programme start="20121022183000 -0400" stop="20121022190000 -0400" channel="I64990.labs.zap2it.com">
<title lang="en">How I Met Your Mother</title>
<episode-num system="dd_progid">SH00753796.0000</episode-num>
<video>
<aspect>16:9</aspect>
<quality>HDTV</quality>
</video>
<previously-shown />
</programme>Is there anyway the TV guide could fetch more details about what episode, descriptions etc? Right now it only display the Title.
Thanks!

Not possible. I can forward only numbers (not text) to XBMC with the current PVR API, so I have no way of storing "SH00753796.0000" into XBMC's episode number field...

Any idea for a work around? Is it possible to import a EPG directly in XBMC, not sure how XBMC would be able to tell a TVServer to schedule a recording if they both use different EPG (not sure which information they share), maybe it wouldn't be a problem?
This is kinda a big limitation of the PVR TV Guide.
Thanks!
