Parse, filter and change (by regex) an EPG xml file

Hello world!

I discovered this world in the late 90s. I started as a self-taught developer (forum, newsgroups, e-zines) and quickly became a computer enthusiast (and geek) who loved the profession and the way of thinking. I still feel that way today.

A little more about me...

duplicated channel id

Hi,

I have some sources with some duplicated "channel ids" (I know this is not right, but thats the best i've managed to get).

Is there any chance to grab just the first found "channel id"? Right now tv_grab_xml is grabbing every channel id no matter if it is duplicated.

Hoping your doing well

Help with duplicated channels

Hi Elbowz,

I have some duplicate channels in my list (same channel but different quality), and I'd like to get epg for all of them, but your script right now is only keeping the ultimate channel of those duplicated in the .config.

Can you help me?
Thanks and regards
