In the meantime, I am writing some lyngsat-scripts (starting from some information already in the db) in order to obtain the data necessary (SID, TID, NID, Frequency) to create the classic e2 ServiceReference. Once I can create it for each channel, then each channel in the db can be linked to Rytec for EPG and also to link to logos present in the Picons SOurce project. Probably still need a few days for this. However, once done, we would probably need 2 or 3 more fields in the channel-table to store said data.

Interesting. How will you match any information from lyngsat with the rytec epg's? AFAIK the channels match by the id the xmltv presents (e.g: Channel_2) or am I wrong?

IMO:

This whole endeavour to match channels to channel id's is silly, its going to only apply to one service and one set of channels for one specific region... We should prob change the site name from logodb to rytec_logodb.

I believe once you look outside of the little bubble that is rytec, you will see that pairing id's that have no bearing between regions and services will be fruitless...

After All, regions will have to be abandoned for postal codes first before any attempt is made to add channel id's... then we will have to gather every possible broadcast service and cable company for each area, then we will need to list channel id's and display names for all the possible xmltv grabbers out there... taking in mind that those names and Id's could change overnight...

I figure that even with full time data entry it will be a MAJOR undertaking, let alone the detailed api that will have to query this data for accurate returns...

after all is done, what did we gain from this? this whole project seems personalized to one user group? whats the plan to use this data? I wouldn't trust it... can't see how the output could be accurate? without asking users a ton of questions...
