Updates to starhubgo.com.ini

Thanks for the help.

I will take a look tomorrow as I am in APAC timezone (obviously) and evenings are family time for me.

In plex no progtams show as "series" everything shows as "movie". I imported a good feed for BBC1 UK TV (and just overlayed it on a channel it wasnt for) and that displayed correctly as a series.

Other channels I am interested in (and also display incorrectly) are Mediacorp Channel 5, Channel News Asia and Okto.

Thanks again for the suggestions. I will reply tomorrow.

So I attempted the changes that you suggested above to no avail.

Everything is still identified as a "Movie" in Plex.

An example snip from my guide.xml is...

  <programme start="20170822163000 +0000" stop="20170822173000 +0000" channel="Ch 5">
    <title lang="en">The Flash 2 (HD)</title>
    <sub-title lang="en">(PG-Action Violence)Family of Rogues</sub-title>
    <desc lang="en">When Barry and the team find out Captain Cold has been kidnapped, they form an uneasy alliance with his sister, Lisa. However, Barry feels double-crossed when he finds out Snart is working with his father, Lewis Snart on a heist. Meanwhile, Joe is faced with a difficult decision(n)</desc>
    <category lang="en">Drama</category>
    <category lang="en">Series</category>
    <category lang="en">General</category>
    <episode-num system="onscreen">E3</episode-num>
  </programme>

 With a bit of trial and error I have worked out that if I use episode-num system="xmltv_ns"

<episode-num system="xmltv_ns">2.3.</episode-num>

Then the series is correctly identified as a show however, as I dont have series numbers the shows are not correctly identified...

There is no such show as...

America's Got Talent 12 (HD)

It should be America's Got Talent

Series 12

I managed to build a URL that will give a JSON response...

https://www.starhubgo.com/live/getLiveChannelPrograms?pCode=V4bmQyOqnbswtz9daXLyKFGCO8Zp&channelIds=["8735373","8413941","9528553"]&startTime=2017-08-18T04:00:00.000Z&endTime=2017-08-19T04:00:00.000Z&pageSize=8000&localDate=2017-08-18&requestQuery=multiasset

As predicted they dont include the series number in the JSON however they do generally include it on the end of the program name, in various formats depending on the channel...

Series Numbers (on end of titles) examples

name: "America's Got Talent 12 (HD)",
name: "Arts 21 (HD)",

Using Roman Numerals to indicate Season number (for no apparent reason)

name: "The Ellen DeGeneres Show XIV (HD)",
name: "Wheel Of Fortune XXXIV (HD)",

Awesome sauce.

I will trst tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

Thanks again for all of the help

So, looking in my guide it looks like the " (HD)" is being stripped correctly however it doesnt look like anything is being moved into the "Season Number" field, examples are below.
