Hi Guys,
Can you fix the EPG from https://www.firstmedia.com/product/tv-guide,
because the EPG drawn does not correspond to the selected day, but rather to the film's broadcast description.
I attached some screenshots to make it easier for you to understand what I mean, I hope you can help me.
Thanks
Sorry guys, I want to ask my friend first about the Firstmedia EPG, whether it is in sync with the broadcast or not,
you can ignore my question first
Thanks
read the remarks near the top of the ini.
you have to set the timezone= on the site {xxx} line to the timezone of the pc running webgrab.
then epg is in the users local time.
if you are unsure,use timezone=?
run webgrab
it will crash with a error about the timezone setting.
look in your webgrab log and a list of valid timezones settings will be there.
its best to use a Region/City one like Europe/London for example.
this setting is case sensitive so Spell it exactly as it shows in your log file.
Attached an example of timezone
Hi Guys,
I've tried changing the timezone on site.ini to Asia/Jakarta, but it still doesn't sync with the broadcast.
you can check my screenshots
1. screenshots_4 is the result I got from the script.
2. screenshots_5 is what the HBO channel from firstmedia shows.
3. screenshots_6 is a capture of site.ini where I changed the timezome
Is the problem with the website displaying EPG data incorrectly?
check your webgrab log,it will show the path to the ini being used.
it looks like you may have duplicate copies of the ini because the times are still synced to America/Moncton which is the default timezone that i used as i last updated the ini.
also the timezone needs to set to the timezone of the pc running webgrab.
so if your renting a vps in north america and the server timezone is set to that then thats the timezone that needs to be set.
the epg is correct for me.
also run a force update or delete your guide.xml to download fresh data,old data using the default timezone may still be being used.do the same for your epg viewer,force a epg update.
hi blackbear,
i've check ke webgrab log, there's correct path,
The schedule running on the website firstmedia.com/product/tv-guide may be too fast, because the current film being shown is different from the EPG being shown,
I have the EPG for the HBO channel from an offline source, and it matches what is currently showing,
upload your guide.xml
or check it to see of the time offset is +0700
look at the <programme start="xxxxxxxx" stop="xxxxxxx" lines
i sent the offline source for HBO group,
it could also be that your iptv provider delays the stream.
i have heard of some douing this to reduce buffering.
oke thanks alot for helping me guys
think i figured it out.
if you use the download link and view the epg which i assume is in local time(indonesia) it shows the movie Edge of Tomorrow at 10am today.
viewing the epgonline it shows 3am today.
thats a 7hr time difference.
try setting timezone=UTC
that would both match correctly
3am UTC = 10am indonesia time(UTC+0700)
i've try to change timezone=UTC, and its same result, epgonline have 7hr difference time,
i thinks the problem it's on iptv provider (firstmedia), because the broadcast from their channel is also different from EPGonline on their website
in your epg viewer does it show the edge of tomorrow starting at 10am today vs 3am today with timezone=Asia/Jakarta.
since we both see it starting at 3am regardless of our physical location means the epg timese are either in UTC or indonesian local time but local time isnt correct for you either so it has to be UTC time.
that or as you said...the site is messed up.
hahaha
Maybe I will complain to them first about their online EPG, but I don't know whether they will improve the site or not,
btw thank you very much for helping me,
