ABCKids guide missing

[cantenna]

Any reason why their is no guide information available for ABCKids?

[markcs]

Are you building your own xml file or getting it from xmltv.net? Which region?

[Cookester81]

Getting it from xmltv.net, Newcastle.

Going to try Sydney next.

odd, their is programing data avail 284791auepg.com.au (ABCKids)

Yet, it does not come across vi Xteve > Jellyfin, at first no data was shown then, ABC news programing data was displaying in ABCKids channel.

Seems like a bad mapping. I'm using HDHomeRun, xteve connects to it by IP

[Cookester81]

Update: Sydney an issue as well

[Cookester81]

Update 2: I reckon the formatting of the 284791auepg.com.au (ABCKids) may be the issue, in Jellyfin, I can bypass use of Xteve altogether and again, ABC Kids, no data shown despite correct mapping, All other channels, guides comes through just fine

This appears to be an issue on your side rather than the XML file.

I checked the xml using the Chrome Extension EPG Viewer (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lnhfllpjnichiepbkgnfhpaakhicbelh) and when downloading the Newcastle xml file from xmltv.net, the ABCKids channels are there.

I've been at this all night, lol

Okay, see this log;

You can see the ABC News channels come across just fine where the ABC Kids channel does not

[Cookester81]

I suspect there is something wrong with the data for this particular channel, perhaps an incompatible formatting issue in one of the shows?

[Cookester81]

Update; No I have programing guide data coming through for ABC Kids, but no data on all other channels!?

[markcs]

Could this be a Jellyfin issue? I don't use Jellyfin or xteve.

jellyfin/jellyfin#8253

I saw your comment on reddit. Can you try to edit the xml file and only include the programs for ABC Kids and see if you can see them in Jellyfin?

If you can't, can you add a category for those programs where the category is empty and try again? see below.

                <title>Peppa Pig</title>
                <sub-title>Teddy Playgroup</sub-title>
                <category>Put Something Here</category>

[cantenna]

Can confirm, the issue is indeed as you have discovered, all it takes is for one program to omit a category and the channel in its entirety will be omitted from Jellyfin.

Thank you for helping me sort this out.
