Sometimes server doesn’t work, such as uk/es, if you find working epg sources, you can also use with script. Open Rytec Greece XMLTV.bat file with notepad and add your server.
wget http://server/xml.gz
Updated, working now.
how can i add this bat files to the single iptv pvr for the epg? i need xmltv file to add at the settings
Bat file is a executable tool for download to epg data, if you downloaded to epg you have to show file path over network.
Brazil?

Grabber works great for uk epg, is there any chance of extending the epg longer than 2 weeks?

Only ‘openvix.co.uk’ and ‘xmltvepg.nl’ are working .
Cheers .
Script already getting data from openvix.co.uk as default. Thank you for your detailed review.
Hi ,
Thanks for your reply .
Does I have to only consider ‘openvix.co.uk’ and ‘xmltvepg.nl’ are the only available links ?
Or will you give us other ( more ) links .
Cheers .
Hi Admin ,
I have found an other link working :
http://www.vuplus-community.net/rytec/rytecxmltvFrance.gzIt’s enough for me at the moment .
Many thanks .
Regards .
Hi Admin
today do not download anything. Do you agree?
Thank you
Hi, it’s fixed download again.
Stop this.
These grabbers create an enormous amount of traffic on our servers.
Use the Jin plug-in which is properly configured for downloading the files.
Willy
We do not develop that graber and orginal project is four years old it has many users found on
http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/crossepg-rytec-graber-epg-for-mediaportal.113561/. We examined tiny.cc stats it’s not show unusual traffic from us and Kodi not getting to EPG with any plugin or addon. Please send log files to[email protected]let’s look at what we can do.Crossepg as downloader for the EPG should be fine.
But we see a tremendous amount of downloads from Kodi.
if you have an m3u playlist of 50 channels, it will/should request the epg file max 50 times.
the more channels people have in their playlist the more requests you get. a playlist with 60-70 channels could do this:
50 requests from each user. If you have 1000 users (not unlikely)
50 000 requests/day
German file is 5.12 MB. Or 256 GB /day
7.78 TB/month
Willy
Still i don’t think it’s about us but now deactivated on KODI. It’ s unbelievable traffic, please accept our apologies if it from us.
I host one of the servers for this epg data, if this happens again I’ll be pulling the hosting. Caused us a lot of headache yesterday and it’s not the 1st time we been forced to move the EPG hosting. This is the last time I’ll move it, if happens again, I’m done with it.
Why don’t whoever created this script put their hand in their pockets and buy their own server to host this data for this script!
You i**** are *** killing this service for everyone with your badly written script!
I just found your great grabber.. Thank a lot, I really missed this tool.
However I ran into a problem.
I downloaded your software on my laptop (win7) and when I run the “Rytec UK XMLTV” I got a new file called tvguide.xml
This doesn’t happen on stationary computer with Windows 10.
I get no xml-file.. What can I do?
/Lunapark
Hi, change to name of that file to Rytec-UK-XMLTV and try to run again,
if it doesn’t work, open to command prompt as administrator and go to directory where is bat files located.
cd C:\Users\CHANGE THIS\Downloads\xmltv_epg_graber\xmltv_epg_graber\epg graberTry to run:
Rytec-UK-XMLTV.batIt should work, also you can convert to bat files to exe.
IS it stopped working?
I cant connect with Sky UK anymore
No problem, it’s working.
Hi Guys,
Sorry to say that the xml obtained not work on my TV DVBLink Server.
Only shows the schedule for four or six channels.
What a shame….
I am new here , every time I run manual Download it give me this : could not download sources list
any idea what i am doing wrong ?
it seems XMLTV EPG Graber Batch Script do not work anymore.
i tried all the bat file in epg garber, however, no epg was downloaded.
Yes, unfortunately it doesn’t work because of rytec servers are offline. We will update the tool when we find working sources.
It’s now updated, you have to download new tool or you can build your own epg with that tutorial.
