Req TV Guide description?
#1
I configured the TV guide on the Media portal TV server with the xmltv plugin. The xml looks like this:

Code:
<programme start="20121022183000 -0400" stop="20121022190000 -0400" channel="I64990.labs.zap2it.com">
                <title lang="en">How I Met Your Mother</title>
                <episode-num system="dd_progid">SH00753796.0000</episode-num>
                <video>
                        <aspect>16:9</aspect>
                        <quality>HDTV</quality>
                </video>
                <previously-shown />
        </programme>

Is there anyway the TV guide could fetch more details about what episode, descriptions etc? Right now it only display the Title.

Thanks!

Not possible. I can forward only numbers (not text) to XBMC with the current PVR API, so I have no way of storing "SH00753796.0000" into XBMC's episode number field...

Any idea for a work around? Is it possible to import a EPG directly in XBMC, not sure how XBMC would be able to tell a TVServer to schedule a recording if they both use different EPG (not sure which information they share), maybe it wouldn't be a problem?

This is kinda a big limitation of the PVR TV Guide.

Thanks!
