Ivue Cannot get remote custom XLMTV working - PVR Simple Client

[jinjok]

Hi all, can someone please help.....

I have got PVR Simple Client all working and I am generating my XML file for the EPG. I teste don my local PC and is all working fine. I then uploaded the EPG and M3U files to a server and again the PVR is working all OK.

I am now trying to use Ivue to show my custom EPG. When i go to configure and change the XMLTV type to "Custom" I put in the location of my XML file from my local PC and it all works fine. BUT

I have now uploaded the XML file to the server and I want to point the Ivue custom XML file to the online location http://www.kodithailand.com/repo/iptv/KodiThailandTVguide.xml

When I do this it will not work I just get an error message saying the program data cannot be loaded.

I know the xml file is all OK as the remote file works fine on PVR Client it just does not work on Ivue.

For som ereason it just seems that IVue will no accept a remote location for the XML file. (I even tried calling it .XMLTV but no luck)

Any ideas?

Thanks

My first question is .... why? I looked at the xml link (by the way, you are required to 'code' it so it can't be accessed directly from the forum... site rules), and its very limited in channels.

The reason is probably the iVue guide may be expecting the xml encoding info, and that guide doesn't have it on the first line of the xml.

The first line should be


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


Another reason, maybe it just can't handle connecting to an exterior server...

I'll try yours and see if it doesn't work for me either.

Edit - there is no option for an remote site on the iView guide!

AHA...... I found out hot to fix it and add a remote XML file.

You need to add a new Network Location. At first i could not find the right area to add the location so I done it as follows:
1. VIDEOS/FILES/ADDVIDEOS then when the add source box appears click on BROWSE. Go all the way to the bottom and you will see ADD NETWORK LOCATION
2. Scroll through the protocols and select WEB SERVER DIRECTORY.
3. Add the domain name in the SERVER ADDRESS without the HTTP:// for example www.yourdomain.com
4. Add the remote path location where the XML file is located. For example REPOS/IPTV/ (So the final location would be www.yourdomain.com/repos/iptv/)
5. Port = 80
6. As long as the directory is not password protected you wont need to add a username and password.
7. Thats it. You will now have a new Network Location on a remote server.
8. Just click OK and exit back to the Main Screen

Now when you go to Ivue (Or FTV Guide or TV Guide) you can change the XMLTV Type to CUSTOM FILE and then browse. The new network location will show up and you can select the XML file here

Thats It. Load the program and you will have the EPG using the remote XML File.

Phew.....

***DARA yes the line you mentioned can be there or if not it is also OK. I did try with and without and they both seem to work. (Sorry for not coding it properly still new to the forum) and yes I only added a few channels to keep the file small while testing.

Thanks for your answer and time
