Help with EPG on Colby Skin

Postby Blowfish on Fri Oct 14, 2005 4:34 am

Colby or anyone,
I have some questions about the xml database. Since I can't see it within xlobby I am wondering how it works compared to other databases in xlobby.
1. I need some help in identifying what information needs to be put into the channels database on the epg screen. Is it just station identifiers(Text and/or pictures)?
2. How do I link them to the xmltv information so that they match the row next to each other?
3. How do I sort my channels into the appropriate order(xmltv switch or customize xml before passing to xlobby)?
4. Also, how do I reference the epg details for a particuliar show, so I can have an overlay with more information?
5. Can I set filters on the xml epg to display prime time(6-10pm) main network shows for a given day?

Thanks to all
Blowfish

Check out the threads on xmltv or whatever. There is a plugin, and I think others have it working pretty good now.
