Ignore EIT, use only XMLTV?

Nathan McAullay

Hi there, is there a way to use only XMLTV input to fill the EPG? My EIT providers frequently update the start/end times, and currently tvheadend is adding new entries into the EPG for the same show but with slightly different start/end times. I have a stable XMLTV input, and can inject it using the tv_grab_file script. This works fine. However, after a short period of time the EIT data starts coming in, and injecting its own data into the EPG.

Is there a way to completely disable EIT from getting into the EPG?

Is there a way to do this per channel rather than site wide configuration?

Should I raise a feature request?

Cheers,

Nathan

Same problem:(

Here we have a good XMLTV source and the broadcast data is rubbish.

The broadcast data includes details for now/next but for everything after that the title is just "." which is overwriting the XMLTV EPG data and making it useless.

The code is relatively easy to find your way around, even for someone who doesn't know C. Thanks!

The following hack will let you ignore DVB EIT data and just use XMLTV;


diff --git a/src/dvb/dvb_tables.c b/src/dvb/dvb_tables.c

I would just like to let everybody know that a sollution for this is available within tvheadend.
