This small application converts the JSON guide data from OpenWebIf to XMLTV. It supports reading the guide data directly from a URL, and outputs the XMLTV on stdout. The main usage is to get guide data from Enigma2 into tvheadend for channels that don't have proper EIT data embedded.

- PHP >= 7.0 with the
xmlandcurlextensions enabled
On Debian 9, these can be installed by running:
sudo apt-get install php-cli php-xml php-curlThis example illustrates how you can basically copy the guide data from an Enigma2 set-top box into a tvheadend instance.
Assumptions made in these examples:
- The commands are run as the
htsuser - The Enigma2 set-top box has the IP address 192.168.1.201
- You have enabled external XMLTV support in tvheadend (xmltv.sock)
- You have
socatinstalled
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Jalle19/openwebif-xmltv-converter.git
- Run the following command:
php openwebif-xmltv-converter/openwebif-xmltv-converter.php "http://192.168.1.201/api/epgmultigz?bRef=1:7:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:FROM%20BOUQUET%20%22userbouquet.abm.sat_282_freesat.main.tv%22%20ORDER%20BY%20bouquet" | socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/epggrab/xmltv.sock
This is just an example, you will most likely need to figure out the correct URL to use yourself.
- You should now see something like this in tvheadend if you have debug logging enabled:
