Two things to check. First, is the xmltv.xml file in the userdata/addon_data/script.module.sd4tvh folder look like it is complete and up to date?

Then in tvheadend, take a look at the epg grabbers and make sure that if you have both enabled - that the sd4tvh has a higher priority.

[Yousty]

Is it possible to use this addon without having tvheadend? The reason I ask is because I have a Schedules Direct subscription and am trying to create an xmltv file that contains both cable and antenna channels for importing into TV Guide Fullscreen. I installed the app and followed the setup directions but whenever I try to modify channel lineup I get an error.

Here is I think the appropriate section of the log file:

The base schedules direct to xmltv file functions of my addon are built off of this:

https://github.com/astrilchuk/sd2xmltv

That should be able to work for you - just follow the instructions on the readme page of the repo.

 Thanks I'll give it a try! Unfortunately I don't have a linux machine to be able to compile the Kodi addon, is this zip already created and able to download somewhere?

[edit4ever]

You don't need to compile the addon - you just want to download the repo extract it to your system and the run the sd2xmltv.py script.
 To manage your Schedules Direct lineup(s):

Code:

./sd2xmltv.py --username sdusername --password sdpassword --manage

 To create an xmltv.xml file with your current Schedules Direct lineup:

Code:

./sd2xmltv.py --username sdusername --password sdpassword [--output ./xmltv.xml] [--days 14] [--hdhomerun discover|ip]

[edit4ever]

If you wanted to try as an addon - here is the built version: 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3prwffcphdupn3...3.zip?dl=0

[Yousty]

Thanks I'll give it a try tonight! I actually got your zap2epg addon working well last night but unfortunately as far as I could tell there was no way to select more than one channel source so I couldn't select both Antenna and Cable/Satellite as channel sources.

[edit4ever]

Yeah - it looks like a lot of people are looking for multiple lineups...I'm going to look into a workaround for that in my zap2epg addon.

[Yousty]

You don't need to compile the addon - you just want to download the repo extract it to your system and the run the sd2xmltv.py script.
 To manage your Schedules Direct lineup(s):

Code:

./sd2xmltv.py --username sdusername --password sdpassword --manage

 To create an xmltv.xml file with your current Schedules Direct lineup:

Code:

./sd2xmltv.py --username sdusername --password sdpassword [--output ./xmltv.xml] [--days 14][--hdhomerun discover|ip]

 

When running the first command I'm getting the following error:

Code:

c:\Torrents\xmltv>python ./sd2xmltv.py --username **** --password **** --manage
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./sd2xmltv.py", line 7, in <module>
from xmltv import XmltvChannel, XmltvProgramme, XmltvWriter
File "c:\Torrents\xmltv\xmltv\__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
from xmltvdocument import XmltvDocument
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xmltvdocument'

Not sure why because xmltvdocument.py is in the "c:\Torrents\xmltv\xmltv" folder

[edit4ever]

strange - not sure why that error would pop up.  Did you try the kodi addon version?

Maybe try not naming your top level xmltv folder the same...but that shouldn't make a difference.

[Yousty]

No luck with either option :-(

I tried renaming the folder and still get the same error:

Code:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.192]

C:\Users\Anthony>cd c:\xml

    from xmltvdocument import XmltvDocument
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xmltvdocument'

c:\xml>

I'm not sure if it matters but I have Python 3.6.4 installed.

And when I try to run the Kodi addon I get the error "This is a console-only addon"

[edit4ever]

Couple of things...the add-on isn't meant to be run...just configured through its settings in Kodi...then run the sd2xmltv.py script.

However, I was just glancing at the code (albeit I'm on my mobile) and I think the XmltvDocument import is missing in the sd2xmltv.py file.

In that file, try changing the following line:

Code:

from xmltv import XmltvChannel, XmltvProgramme, XmltvWriter

to:

Code:

from xmltv import XmltvChannel, XmltvProgramme, XmltvWriter, XmltvDocument

I'm not near a system to test...but let me know if that gives an error.

[Yousty]

Still the same error:

Code:

    from xmltvdocument import XmltvDocument

[edit4ever]

OK - I'm back at my test system and can take a deeper look.

BTW - remove you username and password from the post above!!

[edit4ever]

Strange - this runs for me.  Remove the ./ from your command line so it looks like this:

python sd2xmltv.py --username **** --password **** --manage

./ means run in linux - not needed in windows.


--- let me know if that still fails for you and I'll zip up my sd2xmltv folder and post it for you.
