How to fix wrong EPG on some channels?
Posted: 16 Nov 2016, 17:56
Hi everyone, what's the proper way to get the app to grab the epg info for a specific channel? What I mean is that I get the wrong info on several channels, for example because there are several versions of that channel in different countries. I live in Italy and have correctly set the country code to IT, but some channels will fetch the epg of a corresponding foreign version. For instance, DMAX gets the epg of its German counterpart. On the other hand, I would like to have the epg for Eurosport Germany on Astra, but the app grabs the epg of the Italian version of Eurosport.
I followed the playlist instructions on your howto pages and tried a few things so far, but no dice. For instance, I was trying to get the correct EPG for DMAX (Italy) so I added the parameter tvg-name with the required EPG code I found in the table, but that didn't work.
I had this in my playlist
so I edited it like this
but I was still getting the EPG for the German version.
So, I've downloaded my own playlist through the editor and noticed there's also a channelId parameter in play which in fact seems to play a major role in getting the epg info because just for fun I added the channelid of a random channel to DMAX and got the epg of that one on DMAX. So, is there a list somewhere with these channelId codes or how do I fix this? Thanks in advance.
