Gracenote ID

Feature suggestion.......

Don't know if it's possible but can you also pull the Gracenote ID's from Schedules Direct into the xml generated by EPG123? Plex uses Gracenote ID's to pull additional info on TV programmes to allow for programme categorisations from what I can tell. Just thinking if these were included in the xml guide generated that Plex would be able to allow the use of categories in Live TV/DVR feature.

The Gracenote IDs are already in the xmltv files (*). They are in the episode-num element with system="dd_progid".

Code: Select all

<episode-num system="dd_progid">EP03083898.1385</episode-num>
* The format of the value follows what SD historically uses by adding a period prior to the last 4 digits; separating the series id with the program number.
As presented: EP03083898.1385
Actual id: EP030838981385
