The easiest way around this would be for me to use EPG123, and then purchase an additional SD account and use a.n.other SD to XMLTV software to grab the additional lineups, and then import both of those resultant XMLTV files in to xteve.
However I noticed that SD allow the addition of 6 lineup changes per 24 hours, so wondered if it would be possible for EPG123 to do the heavy lifting and automate the processing of this.
i.e. using the preview ability of SD, pick the lineups required, and split them in to batches.
Batch 1 contains 4 lineups
Batch 2 contains 4 different lineups.
As the lineups for batch 1 are already registered on SD, process those and output result to XML1.
Automatically remove the 4 lineups in batch 1 and add the 4 lineups in batch 2.
Then process the lineups again and save the output to XML2.
Then the next run (the next day), the lineups saved in SD are for batch 2, so process those and output those to XML2, then remove those 4 and add in the lineups from batch 1, and process those to XML1
That way, there are only 4 changes per 24 hours, keeping within the SD allowed amount.
I know there are people from SD on the forum, so a confirmation from them that this isn't/wouldn't violate their TOS would be good, or at least make me aware that my suggestion isn't allowed!
Or as an alternative solution, going back to having 2 SD accounts. Give the user the ability to save the config to a file and launch EPG123 with a command line of -config <config.file>
This would let users create 2 (or more) configs for EPG123 and then they could each be run from a batch file/scheduled task to create 2 XML files which I could then import in to xteve and allow full channel coverage.
Just a thought... is this something that may be possible? if not, I can always use my original idea of 2 SD accounts and 2 different software solutions, but if it's possible to keep it all in 1, so much the better
Cheers.
