Get Guide Data From Different Source?

#1

Post by Octavean » Fri Jun 09, 2017 6:22 pm

Recently, Plex has released PleX DVR. It uses a complete guide data list which is free for all users of Plex DVR and has recently added Live TV. It requires a Plex Pass however.

My question:

Is it possible to access the guide data from Plex DVR for EPG123,...?

Or rather how feasible would it be without drastic changes to EPG123,...?

I imagine it would require a fairly major rewrite if it is even possible. Even then, the number of people with Plex DVR, paying for Plex Pass and also wanting to record using Media Center is going to be pretty small.

Where does Plex get it's data? AFAIK it is from Gracenote, SchedulesDirect's "upstream provider".
