Hi, epgdata2xmltv is not going to help the original poster very much, because it only contains few french channels and the fact, that he is interested in kazer.org indicates that he is mainly looking for EPG of french channels. It would be great if xmltv2vdr could also provide a grabber for kazer.org... @Chris In the meantime, you might try to create it by yourself: You need a control file, that tells the xmltv2vdr plugin what channels to import. Then you need an executable in /usr/bin with the same name as the control file that downloads the data. In fact, xmltv2vdr calls that excutable to download the data when it wants to import it. (The executable should also transform the names in the kazer.org file to a standard, but you can skip that step and work with the channel id in the kazer.org file.) Once xmltv2vdr imports the data, you have to do another step: by using the OSD of VDR, you have to tell the xmltv2vdr plugin in its settings which channel-id from the kazer.org file corresponds to what channel on the VDR.
