The last statement was me wrangling with XMLTV getting EPG data to import for japanese ~~pirated~~ rebroadcasted IPTV.
It was actually painful to configure the XML statements to scrape the data as I had to both understand how the values were derived and how I need to change them as they were regional stations.
In the end it was this syntax:
Example from their page:
site_id="23##10##101040" xmltv_id="ๆฅใใฌ">ๆฅใใฌ</channel>Actually needed was the info inside the site_id:
10140which incremented by one or two without any understandable reason)I had to get the region from the URL/source code out of the dropdown menu and find out that the type of broadcast is somewhere hidden in the html table and that there is is a small number besides each channel name dependant on the region)
Edit: This whole endavour took me 3 weekends to implement into my setup
