XMLTV guide data
Re: XMLTV guide data
Okay, so his DVR Service is with the SERVIO purchase. It appears his HDHR3-CC is not currently attached to the service though. Question, can he attach his tuner to the DVR Service? (I would assume so) Also, would the Servio deviceauth need to be included?

Re: XMLTV guide data
you should be able to concatenate all deviceauths (including that of the servio)... the servio/scibe doesn't get a subscription as they currently don't subscribe as they include a year of service that follows device not account (i.e if he sold the servio the rest of the year follows it)... the only way to add the prime would be to actually subscribe.
Re: XMLTV guide data
So even though the Servio has no tuners, because its' DvrActive response is true, then all other devices in the deviceAuth string will have access to the XMLTV data? We only need a single device active to gain access to XMLTV?
Re: XMLTV guide data
The SERVIO provides guide access as long as it is included in the DeviceAuth.
If you sell the SERVIO you lose the guide access it was providing and the new owner gets the remaining part of the year of guide included with the SERVIO.

Re: XMLTV guide data
So that was the root of my problem... I didn't include the deviceAuth from the Servio in the request.
Thank you very much, everyone.

Re: XMLTV guide data
From the first post...
If you have more than one HDHomeRun unit pull the DeviceAuth from each and concatenate them together.
Re: XMLTV guide data
Kinda unnecessary, but sure. I did that, but I limited it to tuner devices... not realizing that a Servio will give a blanket authorization to all other devices in the request.signcarver wrote: ↑Fri Dec 27, 2019 11:28 am From the first post...If you have more than one HDHomeRun unit pull the DeviceAuth from each and concatenate them together.

Re: XMLTV guide data
sorry, since only one tuner was involved I couldn't tell and didn't know if you were trying to access on a per device basis for other reasons, I just knew the results showed two devices but only one was used. It just seems like déjà vu since djp952 made the same assumptions prior to september.
Re: XMLTV guide data
I'm getting some results back from some CC users and there's some interesting stuff in the XMLTV file.
Other than finding I need to do something special for New Zealand, why is HGTV getting a NZ StationID and a dd_progid that does not follow any numbering convention I am familiar with? There are other channels that get EU station IDs as well, but from I've seen the dd_progid follows the TMS program id convention.
Code: Select all
<channel id="NZ431677.hdhomerun.com">

<display-name>30 HGTV</display-name>

Re: XMLTV guide data
@nickk: I need to understand if I should expect non-Gracenote IDs in the dd_progid even for US stations like I exampled above. Also, Is this what the NZ programmes look like? Are they from a source other than Gracenote? If so, is there a way you could send me a larger sample so I can support them properly? Is this the same for AU programmes?
My HDHR2MXF program looks to be working great, but for stations like above, I have to completely ignore it. Any guidance on this would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Re: XMLTV guide data
You should not be seeing NZ stations in US data. What device ID? I will look into it.garyan2 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 30, 2019 10:25 am @nickk: I need to understand if I should expect non-Gracenote IDs in the dd_progid even for US stations like I exampled above.

AU and NZ come from Gracenote but from a different system. Everything US/CA/EU/UK should use the Gracenote IDs you are familiar with.

Re: XMLTV guide data
It looks like the device is 131125B5.
Thanks for the info on NZ and AU. I'll update my website that they are not supported yet. Also, I didn't mention it, but all the NZ programmes in the xmltv file were flagged as NEW... just found that interesting.
Thank you,
Gary
Re: XMLTV guide data
@nickk : were you able to capture the NZ and EU channels in the XMLTV file for the device? Has this been resolved?
Re: XMLTV guide data
so for those wonder "How the heck do I get this into a xml file on my NAS/Linux server?!"
Replace Your25digitkeyinstead with your key of course, and tvlist.xml can be whatever file you want to name the output file.
You can make this an easy script and run it via a crontab to periodically run and update the file:
nano myxmltvlistpuller.sh
(or use vi or whatever....it's myscriptname.sh so name it what you want)
in the file put in:
exit and save (in nano ctrl +x and say yes to save)
then give the file execute permissions:
chmod +x myxmltvlistpuller.sh
and run it
./myxmltvlistpuller.sh
you'll have a tvlist.xml file in that same folder
Use Case - I run this in my Jellyfin docker container's config folder directly on my Linux Server (my custom NAS/server/media/etc). I point my xmltv guide path to it and voila
Code: Select all
curl --compressed http://api.hdhomerun.com/api/xmltv?DeviceAuth=Your25digitkeyinstead > tvlist.xml

Re: XMLTV guide data
Ok...so I got it running, but I realized the key is not static...it seems to change after a while (I don't know how long but at least every day if not sooner you will have a newer key). So I had to modify the script to be able to obtain the key first, and then pass it as a variable to the script each time to successfully download the TVGuide data
Well - that appears to be easy enough. You need to have an app called jq (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) installed though. You should be able to apt install jq or yum install jq for an easy install. With that...here we have:
Now of course you have to replace 192.168.10.143 with the IP of YOUR HDHomeRun...but that's about it
