Re: [vdr] Which epg for Sky UK

2013-04-16 Thread VDR User
Here's another thought for anyone using eepg current git (which you
_should_ try before declaring there are bugs and so on)... Are you patching
VDR with a bunch of other crap, possibly something that is the true cause
of your problems? If eepg git works perfect for some users, but not for
others then there's likely some difference(s) between these setups
involved. A problem with eepg can easily be a symptom of some other issue.

I would like to second what Tony states here. When I used the EEPG plugin 
(quite a long time ago), it failed to decode Freeview HD EPG because it did not 
support the encoded EPG delivered on the standard PID. So this is why I use the 
patch instead of the EEPG plugin.

I spent some time trying to figure out how to modify the plugin to suit my 
needs but it was beyond my understanding and I gave up.
