EPG

EPG/XMLTV import

EPG data is collected into the EPG Database from various sources:

  • EIT from received streams (SPTS and MPTS). Enabled by setting Stream: Extract EIT to EPG Database.

  • Import in XMLTV format from various external sources. Sources are configured in Configuration/EPG/EPG Sources. EPG sources in the form of a link to a web resource and locally from a file with the full path specified are supported.

EPG event storage period is set by the EPG storage period (days) parameter.

Auto-clean database — Deletes programs for which there are no events.

The EPG section displays EPG sources and related data. For each channel (EPG Channels List), you can set:

  • Channel Name — the name that will be used in the export on the XMLTV server.

  • Time Zone — you can adjust the time zone if it was not tied to UTC when importing.

  • EPG Channel Sets — bind the channel to the Channel Set (see below).

  • Icon — channel icon URL (http://example.com/mychannel/myicon.png).

EIT generator

EIT data from the EPG Database can be generated in an SPTS Stream. To do this, in the Stream setup you need to set EPG Source ID and select EPG Channel ID. In this case SDT will necessarily be generated, even if it is not present in the source. Set SDT Data correctly.

If this Stream is used in a multiplexer, then Service Name can be overridden individually in the output/muxer settings.
