When you tried downloading the file in a browser, with url http://192.168.xxx.xxx/channellist.lua?select=m3u, did you include the "http://" part? And did it stay that way in the address window (i.e. not changed to https:// for example)?

tyler69 · « **Reply #151 on:** March 24, 2017, 10:32:26 am »

Both work (with and without http), but https does not work.

I added some logging in our internet code and hope it will tell something.

Please download this DLL and unzip and copy to MC installation folder. Note that this is a different DLL.

tyler69 · « **Reply #153 on:** March 24, 2017, 01:03:40 pm »

Logs attached.

Yaobing · « **Reply #154 on:** March 24, 2017, 02:15:16 pm »

The server's internet response to our request is not standard.

Please try the updated DLL.

Nice, we get the channels. However, I need to map them manually, as "auto match" does not have any effect.

Hooray!

Channel to EPG entry mapping is a tough one. It probably should be my next task.

tyler69 · « **Reply #157 on:** March 24, 2017, 03:39:44 pm »

It seems that while we get channels, the playback is broken?! Or is this due to bad mapping?

Did you restart MC? If so, did you wait long enough (usually one minute is enough) before attempting to play? If you still are not able to play please provide a log.

tyler69 · « **Reply #159 on:** March 24, 2017, 03:52:01 pm »

It just says "Starting TV..." in the top bar and seems to be unresponsive.

Yaobing · « **Reply #160 on:** March 24, 2017, 06:38:15 pm »

The server supplied channel data do not have all parameters specified (some are optional). My channel handling code did not take that into account.

Please try this new DLL.

tyler69 · « **Reply #161 on:** March 25, 2017, 01:30:11 am »

My MC updated automatically. Could I get exe and DLL's for .88?

Yaobing · « **Reply #162 on:** March 25, 2017, 07:35:43 am »

Here they are:

tyler69 · « **Reply #163 on:** March 25, 2017, 08:12:33 am »

Thanks, log i attached. Won't run a channel, stays black, then gives an error message (similar to last one)

Yaobing · « **Reply #164 on:** March 25, 2017, 09:14:18 am »

Oops, we lost the PIDs during channel manipulation.

JRTelevision

tyler69 · « **Reply #165 on:** March 25, 2017, 09:19:46 am »

That seems to do it.

Yaobing · « **Reply #166 on:** March 25, 2017, 09:30:45 am »

Thanks for testing and feedback.

tyler69 · « **Reply #167 on:** March 25, 2017, 09:41:46 am »

You're welcome.
While I now play a bit with the channels, I experience a strange behaviour. Some channels work, but on some channels I get a message that no tuner is avaiable. Log's attached.

EDIT: Now I see that while on the channels that work under "Preferred tuner" I can select both tuners, the channels that don't run the "Preferred tuner" dropdown is empty. Also: the working channels are the national tv channels, while the non-working are commercial channels.
EDIT2: Also the working channels have dvbs2 modulation, while the non working have dvbs as far as I can see (although that may be a coincidence, since the national hd channels are free).

Yaobing · « **Reply #168 on:** March 25, 2017, 11:27:20 am »

Looks like another bug. I will take a closer look on Monday.

Yaobing · « **Reply #169 on:** March 27, 2017, 01:03:06 pm »

It took me a little longer to figure out something.

Please try this exe.

tyler69 · « **Reply #170 on:** March 27, 2017, 01:07:39 pm »

Looks good. All channels seem to work.

Yaobing · « **Reply #171 on:** March 27, 2017, 01:55:59 pm »

Great. I will now work on EPG to channel auto mapping.

I am trying to run mc2xml with your locality info, but don't know which lineup (which satellite) I should select to get a set EPG data for your Sat>IP channels. See attached screenshot.

tyler69 · « **Reply #174 on:** March 28, 2017, 01:11:59 am »

The fifth one gives me the best results. I need Astra 19.2E and this selection gives me the best results. The other Astra 19E instances have fewer channels..

Yaobing · « **Reply #175 on:** March 28, 2017, 01:31:47 pm »

I made some changes which will be in a newer build.

There seem to be a lot of channels that would not find a match in the xmltv file.

If you feel like testing before the new build is out, you can download this.

tyler69 · « **Reply #176 on:** March 28, 2017, 01:34:47 pm »

What I have seen is that while the channel scan on the OctopusNET results in 680 channels, the mc2xml thingie only has about 400 or so (not that I watch more than 20 or so)..
I can't seem to download from your link?!

Sorry, my mistake. It should work now.

tyler69 · « **Reply #178 on:** March 28, 2017, 05:24:15 pm »

Thanks, it seems like I can't open up MC with the new exe. The server is in the tray, but I don't get the context menu (e.g. "show media center"). Trying to start MC from the desktop shortcut then gives me "MC22 is running, but there is a problem...". Killing the process and restarting leads to similar behaviour.

Sure enough. It is probably not compatible with build 88.
We will have to wait a few days until a newer build is out. It will have to be build 94 or higher.

tyler69 · « **Reply #180 on:** March 28, 2017, 05:36:38 pm »

Ah ok. Will patiently wait then.

JimH · « **Reply #181 on:** March 28, 2017, 06:10:01 pm »

You might be able to do some testing by using zones.

Yaobing · « **Reply #182 on:** March 29, 2017, 08:06:18 am »

tyler69, I sent you a PM.

tyler69 · « **Reply #183 on:** March 29, 2017, 12:24:01 pm »

Yes, thanks. Find the log attached. No changes to the last version for me (auto match does not work).

Yaobing · « **Reply #184 on:** March 29, 2017, 07:32:40 pm »

Try this exe file (copy into the installation folder). There was a bug due to carelessness.

tyler69 · « **Reply #185 on:** March 30, 2017, 01:12:37 am »

Here's the log. some channels get mapped automatically, while others don't. Things to look for if the strings do not match completely (see screenshot):
- string order (e.g. WDR Essen HD vs. WDR HD Essen)
- spaces
- "HD" string
- upper vs. lower case

Yaobing · « **Reply #186 on:** March 30, 2017, 10:59:07 am »

Please try this one.

tyler69 · « **Reply #187 on:** March 30, 2017, 01:37:54 pm »

Hm, doesn't look much different regarding the mapping. Log's attached and I created screenshots of some manually mapped channels.

Yaobing · « **Reply #188 on:** March 30, 2017, 02:05:20 pm »

What are those numbers (such as 751080 in "751080 Phoenix")? I do not see them in the xmltv file that I downloaded.

tyler69 · « **Reply #189 on:** March 30, 2017, 02:10:07 pm »

I don't know. They are present in the channel list that opens up when matching. Most have those numbers in front, but some don't. See screenshot.

Yaobing · « **Reply #190 on:** March 30, 2017, 03:02:48 pm »

I think I know what they are now, but I don't know whether they should appear in front of the channel names.

For example, for channel Phoenix, the xmltv channel ID is "I.751080.microsoft.com", and we use that to identify the channel in the xmltv file. The name of the channel should just be "Phoenix", as in the following three lines in the xmltv file:

<channel id="I.751080.microsoft.com">
<display-name>Phoenix</display-name>
</channel>

You can find the xmltv file after you run EPG setup, in folder C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 22\Temp\. You should do it without restarting MC since the Temp folder is erase upon re-starting. The file name should be something like
"<profile name> - <random number>.xml"

Open the file you should see entries like what I show above.

Yaobing · « **Reply #191 on:** March 30, 2017, 03:21:18 pm »

I don't remember putting the numbers in front of the channel name in my code, but maybe I did. The examples of your non-matching channels probably do not have anything to do with these numbers anyway.

The four examples above fall into two categories. One is upper case vs. lower case. I thought I was doing a case-insensitive comparison, maybe I was not. The other problem is simply one string is different from the other, such as the extra "(CH)" in the channel highlighted in your second screenshot.

Please try this one. It should address the first issue.

Yaobing · « **Reply #192 on:** March 30, 2017, 03:44:37 pm »

I just updated the linked patch in my last post.

OK, i tried the new .exe. While setting up TV again, I checked "reset xml epg.." (not sure about the correct wording). Automatching looks now much better, unfortunately I don't know what did it

I did make the changes that would address both issues that I mentioned - the case issue and the trailing characters.
