Hello,

I don't know if this is the normal behavior but my vdr's install is presenting strange fields in epg. Like in this picture:

EventId, UniqueEventId, TV ratings ... is it normal?

It seems like vnsi/vdr isn't parsing all fields into kodi epg database.

What is the source of those EPG items. This is only a single field. Maybe some other plugin writes additional data to it.

The source is vdr, I don't have any plugin installed on vdr, just vnsi+dvbapi.

You asked the same question some time ago on a different forum? http://www.vdr-portal.de/board79-interna...-epg-data/

For VDR is this a single field "description". At least this is what vnsi queries from VDR. If this field has this additional data, that must happen before VDR. I searched the source and did not find those strings.

Yes, but no one seemed to care much about it there Tongue

I have tvheadend installed on this same box and it process the ETI epg data without these "fields"

what version of vdr do you use?

Currently I'm using the 2.3.1 but this also happened in older versions.

My network provider may use those extra data in their own STBs, tvheadend seems to discard these extra data and show only the program description.

If this is the case there must be a specification. Without one you can't write a parser. Do you know if there is such a spec and if its available?

Unfortunately no. I was suggesting it might be used by STBs but I really not sure.

EDIT: My c skill sucks but seems like TVH do parse these extra data: https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/b...dule/eit.c
