DVB-S/S2 EPG grabber ........ ( is this the 1000th topic )

[orioni]

so the idea is  to have a script/program etc to grab the EPG/EIT table  from the DVB stream ( multicast stream )  that is reachable from the stalker sever 

because not every channel has programs(xmltv) on the internet 

is it possible ?

[orioni]

in order to be more clear about my request

I tried exactly the same program even though the more updated version (from github) but the problem is that it need to have a tuned frontend by some other means ( tv_grab_dvb cant tune the frontend itself )

Actually i have both types of sources , thats why i mentioned both.... I have a profesional satellite headend that does the streaming of the dvb-s to SPTS (multicast) and also have some TBS cards on a server that does the same via dvblast/mumudvb etc

What i was thinking/looking was a script that does automatic transponders on a given satellite epg grab via tv_grab_dvb and maybe the rotation of the satelite itself too to different satellites (so it grabs all the epg on hotbird then it rotates the satelite to astra 19.2 and does the same )

And the final part would be a single xmltv file that we can use on stalker or other middlewares

Since that solution would probably make a big file and maybe conflicting channel SID (since the same SID number maybe is used on another satellite for another channel ) i was looking as a better option to have kinda a tv-grab_dvb from the EIT table that my streamers is outputing muxed on eqch spts multicast ip:port

In this case I/we wouldnt need to import epg from transponders that we dont stream ....having a more precise xmltv file (since it would have only the epg for the channels that are currenty being streamed to multicast )

Long email :). Thanks for reading

Please answer if you have a solution to lock tv_grab_dvb on certain SID on each tuner.

We have 3 servers with 8 tuners on each, and a separate channelidents on each server, this works, but it would be way better if tv_grab_dvb ONLY downloaded epgs for selected channels.

Is that something you want to share? :)

its a modified version of http://sourceforge.net/projects/epgstuff/ since i needed to place the data to a  database and also send to a FTP

I solved the problem with epg grabbing from satellite. It works fine in 98%. The software which I used is tv_grab_dvb. 

Also I write my own scripts which start EPG grabbing and create xmltv file. Now I don't need such services as http://www.teleguide.info/.

If you have any questions please mail me kononov...@gmail.com 

My services - paid

Я решил проблему с граббингом EPG со спутника. Граббинг отрабатывает отлично в 98% случаев. Софт который я использовал tv_grab_dvb.

Так же я написал скрипты для запуска граббинга и создания xmltv файла. Теперь мне не нужны такие сервисы как http://www.teleguide.info/.
