Hi,
now that my VDR works fine with 2 satellites thanks to the help of some kind folks here and the SourceCaps patch (did I mention it should be in the mainstream VDR?) I have now a couple of FTA programmes in russian language for my better half :-) The only problem is, none of these programmes carry any EPG information. The schedules are available on the web sites, mostly. Has somebody written a plugin that retrieves the schedules and creates proper EPG data from them? I might but not too soon... I understand this task can be a pain in <pick your favourite body part> because people use no SOA interfaces. TBNRussia provides an Excel file (yuck).
TIA!

EPG for some russian channels you can find in XMLTV. For plain VDR in ISO8859-5 http://www.free-x.de/vdr/vsetv.xml Or for UTF-8 patched VDR http://www.free-x.de/vdr/vsetv-utf.xml or http://www.free-x.de/vdr/tvgrabru.xml. PLUGIN don't exists, but I generate an EPG with xmltv2vdr script.

That works just fine now, thank you.
Just one thing is wrong - time zones. The XML files contain everything encoded in the Moscow time zone (although CEST is written there). The OSD display everything accoording to Europe/Berlin (in my case) so everything is 2 hours off, which also makes recording from the "Schedule" menu difficult if not impossible.
Any idea if we can adjust all the timestamps in a simple way?
Or am I missing something?
TIA!

Use a parameter "-a" My BIOS is GMT. TZ is also Europe/Berlin. I don't need to adjust for tvgrabru.xml.

You can also use this scrpit:

to automate the process via e.g. crontab, or generate the listings via latex in PS or PDF.

Hi,
2 years after my last question about russian EPGs I need to ask again. The tvgrabru set on free-x.de is out of date, and there seems to be no other source of information. Has anybody been working on this topic lately?
TIA, and have a nice Xmas (in case you dou celebrate it) and a happy new year.
