DM500 RETRIEVE EPG FROM DREAMBOX

[raiden75]

Hi ...
I've been using DM500 for quite sometime now when someone asked me to create a project for them.

If anybody could help me with this, I need to know how to read the epg data from Dreambox and store it in my laptop, this data I will need in creating my project.

Any idea would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

How you would read it off the dreambox may depend on the method you used to capture it on and what your using to display it. There quite a few different methods !

If your using one of the methods that simply downloads an epg via the internet then the simplest way would be to bypass the dreambox enirely and just download straight into a pc.

If your dreambox actually constructs the epg from transmitted streamdata then you'll need to find the resultant file stored somewhere within the dreambox file structure - possibly in either the /var/ or /tmp directory hierarchy.

Either way, once you have the data you'll likely need to know its format. This could vary from simple comma seperated lists right through to some database structure to compressed streamdata. It really depends on whats creating that data (if you can get the source code for the 'creator' then the job becomes relatively trivial)
