    zip file is ok ... either you haven't mapped correctly your usb stick , or you unzipped the file on a windows pc and corrupted the scripts . follow the how to on this page and u will be ok

    AZOpen - Open source tools for the AZBox
    The EPG program is now stable and works rather well, even if I say so myself. There have been a number of comments indicating that some people are confused about how to install and run it, despite the detailed instructions in the README file. This is an attempt at providing simple instructions for technophobes, so here goes ...

    Installation (v1.9.1)
    First, you'll need to get the EPG program from Get AZOpen - AZBox OpenTools at SourceForge.net. Fast, secure and Free Open Source software downloads Click on the big green button, and it'll download a zip file to your machine. If you're using Windows, do not unzip the file on your PC because it will corrupt the scripts.

    Next, you need to copy the zip file to the AZBox: how to do this depends on whether you have a hard disk in the box or you're using a USB memory stick (USB key).

    1. USB Key:

    * Copy the zip file to the key and unmount it from your PC.
    * Plug the key into the box.
    * Telnet to the box and change to the USB directory


    2. Hard disk

    * Connect to your AZBox using FTP and copy the zip file to the hard disk, i.e. to /DATA/hdb1. You can do this using the ftp command-line tool, or using one of the available tools , e.g. MaZ.
    * Telnet to the box, and change to /DATA/hdb1


    Now, the next part is the same for both USB and hard disk - create a new folder to contain the files, unzip the files into this and change to the bin folder:
    HTML Code:
    mkdir myEPG
    cd myEPG
    unzip ../azepgmgr.zip
    cd bin
    chmod +x install.sh
    ./install.sh
    The program has now been installed.

    Running the program
    There are a number of possible settings you can use for the program. However, for the sake of simplicity, this will only explain the most important options. The full description is in the README file that's in the zip. Every few days, you'll need to download the latest XMLTV data, i.e. the information for the EPG. Probably the simplest way to run the program is to use its automatic updating feature:
    HTML Code:
    ./axboxepg -a  # Automatic updates
    This will automatically download the EPG data if required, and will load the EPG events into memory.
    README
    The folder into which you installed this has a README file. This contains late-breaking information, so you should read it carefully.

    No way is this working the line

    chmod 755 azboxepg _azepgmgr getupdates install.sh libxml2.so.2.7.6

    fails as _azepgmgr file is not there.

    also line

    ./_azepgmgr $MY_XMLCHANS $DST $DATA -d $DAYS $NUM $DEBUG $OFFSET $MAXTEXT $WDEBUG $ZDEBUG

    also can't run.

    I have PM'd bpmurray.
    I have always used this in the past so I'm away of how this program works unless it has changed.

    are you sure you have ran this.

    I have seen the page you have copied and insterted on three different boards.
    Not unless I'm missing something.
    and no I have not opened in windows and if I had I would only have to do dos2unix to correct any scripts. my scripts run but fail due to missng file.

    Thanks

    File added to v1.9.1a

    Apologies - there was a file missing from the posted zip, so I've re-posted it as v1.9.1a at h??p://azopen.sourceforge.net/

    yes i tried it on my prepmium plus and it downloaded 2 days novagr epg , although i noticed message about a missing file ??? .
    i must remark that i had it installed at a prior time again at a diffent folder and a different so the script might had found that bin file ??? is it possible ?
    later i tried to install it to an elite , i had many probs unzipping to a mounted usbstick , but finally after formating the usb stick i managed to finally unzip . same message for the missing file and it never worked .

    i can't understand your remark of my copying that post . i never tried to post it as my work , that is why i didn't delete the link to the file ,i just tried to spread it .

    @Nick - have you tried the updated version? Smudger's right that the file is missing, and that has been repaired in v1.9.1a. If you unziip it into an existing dir, it'll probably run OK, but will actually be the old version of the executable.

    And just FYI, this is released under the BSD licence which gives anyone pretty much carte blanche to do what they like with it. I'm not jealous of the code - I just want to have an EPG on the box and I'm happy to share what I've done.

    No bin directory any more - doesn't need it. It should just unzip the lot where you are.

    Found a bug where it wouldn't unzip correctly sometimes - don't know why. I changed it to use tgz instead, and it can be downloaded as v1.9.1b now.

    Quick question, if I want to use my own xmltv data source instead of rytec but want to use this plugin, how do I find the "service reference" in order to map each channel to the correct xml data entry?

    i.e. something like: 1:0:1:1:1:ffff:640b187:0:0:0:

    I know that you can get this information if running E2 but how do I do it using the original firmware or even by using a PC application such as MaZ or DVB application such as tsreader?

    Talk to Morser on AZboxHD.es. Or maybe hperez. Both might be here, too - come to think of it...(???)

    We could all benefit, maybe...

    Only thing is that I don't understand Spanish and there's no English forum on that site. Could someone please nudge him to come over here?

    Thanks.

    There is an English section on that forum.

    Online translators from Spanish to English work more or less fine, if you only care to look...
