    Yes i have done this before many years ago. The alias file should work, i still have the old file on github.... see HERE

  • I never did manage to ever get the alias file to work on Sat. I only managed to get it to work on Virgin following your instructions jenseneverest back when we still had Virgin.


    It would be very handy if you could post something similar for Sat channels.


    For example most of Total TV EPG is in English and it would be nice to apply this EPG to other packages that carry the same channels.

  • Thanks jenseneverest


    i have done this: (in different format as you can see)


    # EUROSPORT INTERNATIONAL

    Eurosport 1=Eurosport 1 International HD

    MY memory bank is not what it once was lol, but if you look at the file on github there is examples

    Like ian1095 says i only ever did this for satellite to cable

    When i get time later on tonight i will have a go at satellite to satellite

    in the mean time see the help files:



    And from when we did it all them years ago:


    Code
    4seven-bskyb=4Seven,4SevenHD,4seven HD
    
    Where this is:
    channel name-provider=channel name,channel name,channel name


    So dacorsa in you examples below you are missing the provider (i have not checked the others - will do so when i have time tonight)


    Code
    Eurosport 1=Eurosport 1 International HD
    Eurosport 2=Eurosport 2 International HD
  • jenseneverest Hi


    maybe the file to edit is not:

    nano /usr/crossepg/scripts/alias/alias.conf

    but this:

    nano /usr/crossepg/aliases/aliases.conf


    that has another sintax:

    #NID|TSID|SID,NID|TSID|SID

    # RADIO CAPITAL TIVU

    #64511|800|1420,8572|31002|26


    do you know if works?


    best regards

  • if you look in the log:


    less /media/usb/crossepg/crossepg.log


    search for :


    22/04/2025 11:07:34 Clearing old aliases...

    22/04/2025 11:07:34 Loading 'aliases.conf'...

    22/04/2025 11:07:34 Loaded 1 aliases

    22/04/2025 11:07:34 Adding new aliases...

    22/04/2025 11:07:34 Completed

  • Like I said above I spent many hours on this editing both files and renaming folders ect and I never succeeded in getting it to work from Sat to Sat.


    It only ever worked from Sat to Cable.


    It really would be a handy thing though if it can be made to work.

    Hi dacorsa


    I have not had a chance to look at this yet (as always i have been working over Easter :face with rolling eyes: )

    Anyways i now seem to remember there was indeed an issue getting this to work for satellite, (even when we had it working years for sat to cable)

    IMO something must have changed with crossepg over the years with all of it modifications to keep it working -

    support from the original author ended many many years ago.

    It may be an idea to put your STB in debug mode and track whats happening in an effort to see where it is failing in the process, either in reading the data or after that.

    You may find we will need to modify the script it runs on either here: https://github.com/E2OpenPlugi…er/scripts/alias/alias.py

    or https://github.com/E2OpenPlugi…nigma2/crossepg_epgcopy.c



    There is another plugin that may be easier, and should work as a solution for you..... at least for data based on openTV (like sky UK and sky IT)

    GitHub - LraiZer/RadiotimesXmltvEmulator: generate radtiotimes xmltv feed compatible data files directly from dvb stream data.
    generate radtiotimes xmltv feed compatible data files directly from dvb stream data. - LraiZer/RadiotimesXmltvEmulator
    github.com

    see its help documents:

    RadiotimesXmltvEmulator/Radio-Times-EPG-Emulator.pdf at gui-plugin · LraiZer/RadiotimesXmltvEmulator
    generate radtiotimes xmltv feed compatible data files directly from dvb stream data. - LraiZer/RadiotimesXmltvEmulator
    github.com


    once you download the epg data with the emulator it then populates the channels with epgimporter plugin

    If you modify the xmltv files that epgimporter uses to include your other channels (based on there service reference's)

    You will have the same data on all of the channels you also add.


    Have a look at what i am talking about, see if you can do it, otherwise let me know if you need help and will have a look when home.

  • I try to follows the pdf and i have this error:
