Im wondering if there is any current options for getting an epg for eyetv in NZ.

I used a script to get and epg from nzepg.org for years but then the site disappeared. Then the past few months I've been using gracenote which was great but now are asking for 20 pounds a month to continue it. Would love to know if there are any other options currently.

I've had a look around and there doesn't seem to be any that I could find. 

I found this: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=126&topicid=79270 but it was a few years ago an don't know if it will work.

Any ideas?

The address has moved, here is an automator workflow I use to generate an xml file in dropbox:

Open it in Automator (great site here www.automator.us). Automator is a really simple visual workflow manager, which is super helpful for automating tasks in OSX.

Has a few components:

Delete existing freeview.xml file at specified location [change this if you like].
Download replacement freeview.xml file to same location [change this if you like].
[In here you could add then opening the file with EyeTV]

Save as a workflow then save as an application.

Every time you open Eyetv it follows the routine above so you have a fresh epg. I was running it on a Cron (scheduled) job every night on another mac and was syncing via dropbox.

I have a separate automator which picks up the file everytime I open Eyetv.

Hope this helps.

That has not been my experience, I assume you are referring to the EyeTV EPG Parser plugin which uses Mono with the EPG Collector to create the XMLTV file of about 1.7 Million characters, 210 thousand words, 33 thousand lines in about 20sec every character, word, and line correct, several times a week for over 2 years, not bad, Microsoft would probably not do it much better.


The main problem with this plugin seems to be how it integrates  with Eye TV, when it runs, starts, stops, terminates, etc, which has nothing to do with Mono, which is only used for about 20sec of the 100sec plugin run time. 


I worked around this with the AppleScript below, you could probably use Automator to do the same thing.


tell application "EyeTV"
activate
delay 2
quit
end tell
set UserName to short user name of (get system info)
tell application "Finder"
activate
move folder "Plugins" of folder "Public" of folder UserName of folder "Users" of startup disk to folder "EyeTV" of folder "Application Support" of folder "Library" of startup disk
delay 2
end tell
tell application "EyeTV"
activate
delay 2
show channel "PARLIAMENT"
delay 74
close window "EyeTV - 13 PARLIAMENT"
delay 24
quit
end tell
tell application "Finder"
activate
move folder "Plugins" of folder "EyeTV" of folder "Application Support" of folder "Library" of startup disk to folder "Public" of folder UserName of folder "Users" of startup disk
delay 2
end tell
tell application "EyeTV"
activate
end tell


To use this put the Plugins folder with the  EyeTV EPG Parser plugin in the user Public folder NOT where the  EyeTV EPG Parser plugin read me details
Change PARLIAMENT in the AppleScript to the name you have in the EyeTV programs window and 13 PARLIAMENT to name of the live window, you don’t have to use this channel but dump < 100000 packets vs > 400000 packets TV 1 also a lot less CPU.
Uncheck box “Always open Live TV window at start up” in EyeTV Preferences.
Show EyeTV Programs window at start up.


EyeTVEPGParser - GitHub


Download - Mono Runtime 2.10.11


Using OSX 10.8.4 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo


I also have an  AppleScript that adds Categories and channel numbers to the XMLTV file for a full colour EPG in Eye TV and to work well with the “TV Grid Listings” App on a iPad, this  AppleScript uses  TextWrangler.

Hi Doug3

Did some trimming/timing adjustment of the script you have placed above, and found a more reliable call (or so it appears on my machine) to close the live tv window: "hide player_window"

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1828007/Grab%20EPG.scpt

I found the Mono problem was reproducible if I closed the live tv window too quickly or ran the plugin constantly. The process ramps to about 150% and then needs to be killed manually.

However I can attest that it is now working on my c2d MB running 10.8.4.

I would love to see the other script if you don't mind.

Jon

Well here it is, you can delete the parts you don't need if only using it for EyeTV, about 50sec to run as is.

set UserName to short user name of (get system info)
tell application "Finder"
activate
open document file "TVGuide.xml" of folder "EyeTV" of folder "Application Support" of folder "Library" of folder UserName of folder "Users" of startup disk using application file "TextWrangler.app" of folder "Applications" of startup disk

Hi Guys

This thread is awesome - I have just purchased an EyeTV and have been playing around to get the EPG right. I managed to get the Automator working to get the xml working, and used a LaunchD editor to get the xml file to download on a schedule. However I would much rather parse the MHEG5 file like these scripts do. However, I am lost when it comes to scripting. I have downloaded Jon's edited version of the script, but I am afraid I really don't know how to make it run - or how to use your fantastic categorising acript either Doug.

Any chance either of you could give me a quick "semi-dummies" guide on how to make it all work? I'd be eternally grateful.

1. Download Mono from the website and install. It has a hello world test write it in an app called Text Wrangler.
2. Download the eyetvepg parser from tokyovigilantes GitHub repository.
3. Put the .bundle file into user/[username here]/public/Plugins folder (you will need to create the Plugins folder)
4. Next look in /library/application support/eyetv for a plugins folder, delete it.
5. Open the script with applications/utilities/AppleScript.app
6. Note the name of the parliament channel (mine is "Parliament")
7. Make changes to the script timings (the "Delay" calls), these are in seconds.
8. On the guide window, clear the epg database, then on the channel window where it says epg source right click and choose xmltv. Goto preferences and untick "Open live tv window when eyetv starts"
9. Run the script (compile button and then run). This should move the .bundle file from 3. to the place in 4. It will then open eyetv, with delays, it should open the live tv window, once this opens the parsing begins, based on your timings it will pause a couple of times over the next 74 seconds, then Eyetv will close, move the .bundle back, and then Eyetv opens. again.

Hmm, I'm following that, but it appears no xml file is being generated as I am not getting any of the program listings for any the xmltc channels - just the ones I left alone.

So am rather confused :(

There shouldn't be a xml file, it just updates the eyetvepg.db file.

Does the live channel window open?
Did the hello world program from the mono website run?

Did the .bundle file move?

Am feeling really dumb, but I don't know how to find GCMS to compile the Hello World program...
