Hi, I started to create a nativ kaa.epg module for epgdata.com. It seems not to be that difficult, but I encountered the following problems:
1.) Which channels should be filled to the database? At the moment I fill every channel to the database. As epgdata.com provides all epg for all channels in one zip archive, the question is just if we should put all channels to the database, or just the ones, that are interesting for the user? How can we decide which channels are interesting for the user? (This question is closly related to all the epg mapping questions, that have been discussed on this list.) 2.) For filling in the data in the database, I seem to need a db_id for the channel, which is an int? How this db_id is created? 3.) It seems that start and stop time should be in UTC? I guess that the epgdata.com dates are in german localtime, which is CET at the moment. They might change that silently to CEST in the summer. Does anyone know, how one can decide, if we should have DST at the moment, or not? Or should I rely on the users localtime been set to either CET or CEST? 4.) The date element, which contains the year of creation of a programm, can contain dates of the format 1999-04 (from 1999 to 2004) or 1995/96 (1995 and 1996) for series. How should I put this in the database, which needs to get an int? (This is also a problem with my xmltv-parser for epgdata.com.)
