Parser for Event Information Tables

eitparser's Issues

UK EITs not parsed correctly?

I have a Vu+ Uno 4kSE running OpenVix and have copied a bunch of recordings with .eit and .meta files across. They don't seem to fully parse correctly.

Have uploaded an example pair of files with .txt appended

When I run the .eit through eitparser I get this as the output :

b'New: Endeavour\xc5New: Endeavour\xc5'
(2023, 3, 12)
b''

I would expect to get something more like I have in the .meta file where the name field is "New: Endeavour" and the description field is "Uniform: Crime drama series. A crime wave..." :

New: Endeavour
Uniform: Crime drama series. A crime wave has taken hold of Oxford - a homeless man is grievously assaulted, a young PC is found dead, and a notable artist reported missing. [AD,S,HD] S9 Ep2
(2023, 3, 12)

I've added an 'eng' language entry to eitparser.py but that doesn't change the result. I wondered if :s or []s were problematic characters? Other files parse with xbd rather than xc5 etc. but most seem to have the b'' ?

It looks as if the UK (or at least the UK DVB-S/S2) EIT format uses the short_event_descriptor format with both the Event_name: and the Text: fields used - and there is an 0x15 character before both Event_name and Text fields start?

20230305 1957 - ITV London HD - New_ Endeavour.ts.meta.txt
20230312 1957 - ITV London HD - New_ Endeavour.eit.txt

migrate to python3

using 2to3

[Feature requests] Read also *.meta files and publish as Kodi Info Addon

Probably it is possible that also the information from *.meta are used?

Great would be when you could publish your software as an addon for Kodi to provide information about the recorded DVB shows. Currently such a feature / addon don't exist.

Refactor to use latest upstream version

see betonme/e2openplugin-EnhancedMovieCenter#274

I have corrected some things in the parser

Dear Mr. Fahl,

I have corrected some things in the eitparser.py.
If you want you can update the changes in your version.

eitparser.zip

Please ignore the line 37:
sys.stdout.reconfigure(encoding='utf-8')

I needed this because I use the program in a pipe within a powershell script.
Before the virtual console characterset was cp1252 and special characters were not shown correctly.

With best regards
