Episode data in EPG

John W

Hi everyone,

I am using the LinuxServer.io Tvheadend container on DockerHub. It contains Tvheadend 4.3-1983~gb8710206e. My hardware is a Raspberry Pi 4 with a Realtek RTL2832 DVB-T tuner over USB 2.0.

Everything is set up and working beautifully. My only complaint is that the "Episode" column in the Electronic Program Guide contains no data ie blank. I would like to use the Episode number to identify my recordings (put it in the filename).

Can anyone help me get the episode data? I live in Australia, if that is relevant to broadcast data or such.

Go to epg settings and enable neded options.

Need more info. Which options?

Where are you getting your EPG data from? Some EPG sources don't provide series/episode data.

If you have access to the xmltv files, check to see if it has entries like:


    <episode-num system="SxxExx">S09E03</episode-num>
    <episode-num system="xmltv_ns">8 . 3 . </episode-num>

Note that you can't rely on every program having episode numbering - programs like news & movies won't have it.

I'm just using what is being provided by the DVB-T broadcaster. I have displayed the Episode column in the EPG, and it is empty. Is there some kind of service that can fill it in?

What about
Settings: Channels/EPG > EPG Grabber Modules
and select
Over-the-air: EIT: DVB Grabber > Scrape Episode

Thanks for the advice but I don't see this setting anywhere
