Some channels have disappeared since the recent changes to the channel id's, etc.

Remote_Central.xml
Missing 7 Central South (was previously 7yourtv.com.au)

NT_Regional.xml
Missing all commercial channels

I'm able to receive it, so it appears to be an omission.

I am using the http://xmltv.net/xml_files/Adelaide.xml in Plex, Synology version 1.19.1.2645.
Tried removing DVR config from Plex and starting from scratch, still seeing same error.

These are in Plex logs when refresh guide is requested.

Thanks.

Web site is down

Firstly - Thanks for this program guide.
Australia (Canberra) - The TV series Home and Away, the programme guide thinks it's a movie so it can't be recorded with plex.

For example:

<icon src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/nine-tvmg-images-prod/39/57/16/395716_366216_Million DOllar Minute_L_T2_t1_.jpg" />

should be:

<icon src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/nine-tvmg-images-prod/39/57/16/395716_366216_Million%20DOllar%20Minute_L_T2_t1_.jpg" />

no data for thursday 15/12 onwards

i am receiving the following error

(main::getepg) Try 3: Unable to connect to https://www.yourtv.com.au/api/guide/?day=sun&timezone=Australia%2FMelbourne&format=json&region=94 (404)

todays file only has data till sat 17/9

First up, I'd love to send all my love and appreciation for this project. I've been using it from the beginning after Plex switched data providers and it's been perfect!

I've noticed some issues lately with occasional icons not showing up in the guide (usually the HD channels). Currently I have channel 15, 30 and 74 missing. In addition channel 12 is also showing as 10HD but should be 10Bold.

Am I the only one having this issue? If so, is there something I can do to fix it?
Otherwise is this an XML issue that can be resolved or a yourtv problem that is out of our control?

Hey markcs, firstly I've seen great reports of this working so I am very excited to get this working on my synology nas, however I am a bit confused on how to do so, as I am not super fluent in coding languages. I have a ds718+ running plex on a docker (all latest versions). I have enough knowledge to create a bash shell inside the plex docker and I cloned you git repository and tried configuring for free_epg.pl. It says I'm missing a at least the JSON module. Just wondering if you have a set of instructions for installation through the plex bash window, or perhaps even if you have created your own docker to house this code. Thanks in advance :)

10 Bold now occupies channels 1 and 12 in Perth.
Personally I disable channel 1 and just use 12. In any case, the logo for both is still showing 10HD.

This is not a cache issue on my end; I can see it's like that in the xml source file:

http://img-store-prod.switch.tv/images/a2c71d35-21c2-4d70-a585-bdba26f3d41e/getimage.php%3FsiteID%3D288%26group%3DSTILL%26tag%3DIMAGE%26videoID%3D1466548

This is a generic issue to cover the problem we are facing at the moment. There are issues with scraping data from yourtv due to rate limiting and possibly IP blocking, so we are looking for another solution. We had one from TelstraTV, but they announced that this will not continue and if you look online, you'll see that the epg is not being updated (ie ).

I've got another solution that I'm working on. If you want to test out some early xml, please let me know.

I noticed the guide not populating past Sat 17/9.
The xml for Goldcoast does not open - https://xmltv.net/xml_files/Goldcoast.xml
Throws an 'out of memory' error in the chrome browser.
The Brisbane guide however opens correctly and I can see entries past Sunday.

Region: Melbourne
Channels:

• 301 SBS Radio 1
• 302 SBS Radio 2
• 303 SBS Radio 3
• 304 SBS Arabic24
• 305 SBS PopDesi
• 306 SBS Chill
• 307 PopAsia
• 36 SBS Arabic24
• 37 SBS Radio 1
• 38 SBS Radio 2
• 39 SBS Chill

The icons for these stations result in a 404.

I re-tuned my plex HD-Homerun today and see the new channel 13 from ten as shake. But upon assigned a XML channel it has channel 13 missing.

The service is great,

thank you very much for having this available! 🙂

Is there something I can do about it?

Thanks in advance

The yourTV script is erroring and halting today for Sydney due to malformed JSON.

Would be good if the script could skip the program entry and continue grabbing data instead of halting.

I've used a Perl script with MythTV previously https://github.com/ShephedProject/shepherd and it has a lot of features that I like. It would be good if this project could leverage on the good work done with shepherd.

The guide data that Shepherd collects and reconciles is very good quality but the output format is missing some of the essential features that Plex requires (series and episode data). Adding a Plex output option to Shepherd might be a better way.

I'll have a look at it myself but I am limited for time.

Good work by the way, its a pity that Plex dropped the ball with EPG, your good work is proving invaluable for me.

Would it be possible to add more information to the error or have a way to retry? I want to add the script to crontab.

Please can you add 9Rush to the gold coast guide data. Thanks.

Firstly thank you to all who make this free EPG option available. Hoping that someone might be able to take a look at an update for channel 1 (now 10 HD) for the Melbourne EPG.

Channel 1 is now 10 HD (as is channel 15), where the EPG is wanting to match to 10 Bold
Channel 10 is ok as 10
Channel 11 is ok as 10 PEACH
Channel 12 is ok as 10 BOLD
Channel 13 is ok as 10 SHAKE
Channel 15 is ok as 10 HD

I’m not quite sure why we need the same broadcast of channel 10 HD on channels 1 and 15, but I’m sure a good reason exists. This wiki also confirms - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_digital_television_channels_in_Australia

Screen shots follow to help confirm above:

I couldn't find a way to create a pull request for the wiki, so to get free_epg.pl to work I needed to apt install libdatetime-perl libxml-writer-perl on Ubuntu.

Sorry for the noise, and thanks for these scripts

It was the same yesterday as well.

Maybe the scraper just needs a -1 to start from a day earlier :)
Or, the API's being used are UTC time and the script using AU time

Hi,

I know you are making changes and updating the xml files, but you also keep changing the Channel ID's which does not help when I have mapped the EPG Channel ID to the Channel Number. Hence I keep loosing my EPG in TvH and have to remap.

Hi,

I've noticed GEMHD Channel 85 is missing from the Central Coast listing. Any chance of having this added?

TIA

All shows on Plex DVR guide are showing as NEW.

Not sure why as according to BigWheel of Plex "New airing are ones that have a “premiere” or “new” flag on them in the EPG data." See https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-dvr-new-airings-only/296347
I couldn't see these tags in the xmltv file myself and not sure what they look like anyway.

The YourTV web page for a previously shown episode has the word REPEAT displayed. If this is available during the scan it hopefully can be used. I attach example of YourTV vs Plex:

Hi,

Here is what Sydney.xml looks like for a particular title:

In the Sydney.xml file the start time is 9:30am and in the other it's 8:30pm so its wrong by 12 hours - 1 hour (day lights savings?), also it lacks much of the detail of the other regions. Is this a sourcing issue or something else?

Any clarifications welcome.

Thanks.

Gold Coast – http://xmltv.net/xml_files/Goldcoast.xml

Just a heads up, I’ve just noticed tonight on my Plex server my guide isn’t updating.

When checking the URL in a browser it’s showing displaying this error

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 2 at column 17: Extra content at the end of the document
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

Sydney and others look to be working.

Very much appreciate the service guys 👍

7mate has moved channel and is now called 7mate HD.

But the Wollongong.xml still only includes the old 7 mate and all EPG entries are "Please turn to Channel 74 to continue watching 7mate."

(The Sydney.xml does contain the new 7mate HD)

It seems yourtv.com.au has dropped Tasmania as a region?

If I run yourtv.pl with region 88 I get a 502 error. (region 94, Melbourne works okay).
Running free_epg.pl only retrieves SBS and ABC guide data.

How can I get the commercial channels for Tas from freeview with free_epg.pl?

Hi. Could we get a feature (even one we have to hard code) that allows us to skip certain channels? Either by number or by name. Say I don't want any SBS channels, so might as well not parse them, so somewhere I either write "SBS" or Channels_skip=31,61,9 And it won't parse those channels?

Any reason why their is no guide information available for ABCKids?

Neither (on xmltv.net) are showing channels (54) 10 Shake or (64) 7 Mate HD

no data with a start date for monday 6th march onwards

You closed the issue before I responded. There is no ignore option in the free_epg script.... I tried --ignore=3,32,33
and it says:
Unknown option: ignore

FYI, channel 50+ and 80+ just swapped again in the regions.., channel 10, is now 50 (instead of 80) 50 (9HD) is 80, gem and go are 81 and 82 respectively iirc etc...

There are new errors with yourtv.pl:

Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at ./yourtv.pl line 996.
malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "(end of string)") at ./yourtv.pl line 985.

Using HDHomeRun Quatro in Sydney.

So I've found that using yourtv.pl to generate XML data for Plex results in incorrect detection of episode numbers, and possibly misclassification of movies as TV shows.

Here's an image of tonight's guide in plex - you can see some shows have episode numbers like "E1011" (today's date), and those after midnight switch to "E1012". Others have no issue:

A quick spot check in the XML output shows affected shows have metadata like this:

<programme start="20191012020500 +1100" stop="20191012023300 +1100" channel="22.yourtv.com.au">

While unaffected have this:

<rating><value>M</value></rating>
</programme>

Similarly the same tag in movies seems to result in Plex considering them to be TV shows (as it gives them an episode number), not movies. This means they don't display under "Upcoming Movies" in the "Live TV & DVR" view, and default to the TV Show library. Example:
Displays as TV Show:

It's possible this might be considered a Plex or YourTV issue, but I thought it worth mentioning if it could be correct in code. Cheers!

Thank you for providing a great service. I have been using ICE TV EPG on my Plex Server until I recently found your guide.

From the Plex Live TV & DVR Guide view, when I select HD Channels Only, the Guide is empty. While this is a minor issue, I tend to mostly watch HD channels and it would be great if I could get it to work.

I am in Perth and I use the Perth xml.
