The thumbnail for morning show is incorrect I have attached the image as you can see it is not Sonia Kruger and David Campbell.

Thank you

I was wondering will you start adding imdb or themoviedb for the movies since you have started it for the series.

Thank you

That is great once it is available I will notify emby developers to see can they take advantage of it.

I have read an article that Australia is looking at fair use so maybe if that law gets passed Ice-tv could revisit the thumbnails.

Thank you once again for detailed explanation it is much appreciated.

I have a question in regards to the number system emby puts info in series but it cannot decipher this episode system as it doesn't change it is not standard xmltv numbering system. Can this be fixed or because there is so many episodes it was just too difficult to do which is understandable.

Thank you

Home and away
<episode-num system="icetv">73-0</episode-num>

Neighbours
<episode-num system="icetv">125-0</episode-num>

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed post it is very insightful. It is very sad situation that you can be sued for everything these days it is very odd the country who you always associate with litigation has no issues with thumbnails as there are many commercial companies offering those services.

Even the hdhomerun software which is a commercial company that make outstanding dvb-t devices now have thumbnails for Australian tv shows I am not sure who do they use for their Australian guide data I have recommended that they have a look at icetv. It is such a shame as having the thumbnails it makes their show more visible.  Why do the graphics if you don't want anyone to associate it with the programme.

It's disappointing but I now fully understand your reasoning for not offering thumbnails.

I would like to know what will it take for icetv to start adding thumbnails for tv shows i know you have released the api but majority of us cant take advantage of that. Is there a certain number of users that you require to request this service before you will reconsider it ? I am willing to test and offer feedback and i am sure others will do the same.

Emby fatches all the movie metada and it is awesome we just need it for the other items in the tv guide.

Emby is geting better and better since last time i requested this so you should give it at least a test.

WMC has no future which is a great shame but there is an alternative and out of all of the ones available emby looks like it is going to be a replacement not yet but in a year it will probable surpass wmc in capabilities but thumbnails are needed to make it really stand out. 

Thank you

Hi Dave,

It is xmltv file that i am using to test emby and it is working very well with series recording what is interesting when i looked in wmc it didnt have a repeat but still wmc didnt record it.

I had a look at tomorrow's tv guide and episode showing in afternoon is episode 28 and it is not showing a repeat sign and emby is going to record it but wmc is not going to record it for some reason even though the wmc guide is not showing a repeat indicator.

It is me I will check but i pretty sure it is since emby is using xmltv file it certainly is icetv.

I will attach tomorrow picture of wmc guide so you can see.


Thanks

Good Afternoon,

Just letting you know that the episodes during the afternoons are not being market as repeats. 

For example Episode 27 - Mid Week Mayhem will be showing at 3pm today WA time but it is a repeat of last night episode. I noticed that nearly every afternoon it doesn't have repeat flag just was hopping it will be fixed.

Thank you

Thanks Dave your second post works.

I had no luck with your first reply when I enter it I still get a pop up box and when I type my username and password this comes up Error - unknown op: xmlguide -u -p

Have a great day

Emby has now implemented xmltv import which is awesome little issue is that I have to set up webget to download xml file because I don't know how to pass the user id and password in this url "http://iceguide.icetv.com.au/cgi-bin/epg/iceguide.cgi?op=xmlguide"

Emby can import it straight from a url but because there is a password and user id it needs to be added so emby can download it.

Thank you

On WMC and the same thing with Emby if you set series to record new episodes only for Masterchef it is recording a repeat. The repeat is the following day during the afternoon and the reason why it thinks it is new is because there is no previously shown tag in the xml file.

Thank you

I hope that you still consider supporting emby because there are now number of us who use it. WMC has no future anymore that is clear so it is one of those things if you don't stay current you will forgotten.

If schedules direct offers support for Australia you will lose a number of current customers and lose potential future customers. Emby is getting more advanced by the week it is not ready to replace WMC but it is not far off. It can now do so many advanced things that are far better than wmc can. There is a wonderful community and luke the main developer would be very happy to assist you to get up and running. 

I know there is a disadvantage that it supports only silicon dust tuners but they are best out there I have had them for years and they haven't missed the bear.

I hope you do support it as it is another avenue for growth.

I will let developers of emby know about this.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the detailed reply. Emby provides screenshots and the rest of metadata for movies and it is excellent it didn't do it in the start until I removed the prefix Movies in icetv settings.

I found out a product called MCImportXMLTV  from http://mcefun.nrossen.dk/. I was able to set it up it uses webget to download icetv xmltv file and then it downloads metadata from thetvdb.com and themoviedb.org it worked very well it picked up some Australian shows but one issue is I had is that when it downloaded the guide data again the next day it stopped my recording and wasn't able to press record. Pressing record doesn't do anything.  I recalled that I had a similar error long time ago with wmc. As that pc is used for live tv I don't have much time to tinker. I will try again.

From reading it is an extra code in xmltv <icon src="http://complet_url"/>  and in the mxf it is imageUrl="http://www.fakeurl.com/images/image1.jpg" />
      <GuideImage id="i2" uid="!Image!XYZNetworkLogo"  source https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd776338.aspx

The only issue is that you are providing a commercial product so there could be a charge to access it or that you have to contribute I don't know it has to be asked. It is one of those things whether it will bring in new customers so far I have recommended 4 people ICETV just it would be awesome to have that facility I will ask emby can they get the thumbnails for tv guide in USA all that is provided through schedules direct. I am sure mediaportal and other opensource software could make use of it not just emby.

You should try emby for your self and see that it is a awesome product and it is getting better and better the best is if you have an issue the community is really helpful and the main developer always replies. The issue and suggestions I had are nearly all taken on board and issues fixed.

Thank again
