Star-Rating

[Klaus F]

Hi,

I have just upgrade to DVBLink 5.1.0 incl. TV Adviser. Your product is advertised to provide star-ratings with the EPG data which is important for me. I receive star-ratings on my clients when using the MC Guide Services but not when using TV Adviser. This is on all my W7 clients the same.

Can you help?

DVBLink TV Adviser 5.1.0 10887
DVBLink TV Source 5.1.0 10856

Is star-rating available for programs when looking at the DVBLink web interface (TV and Media Library tab)?

[Klaus F]

No, not at all.

[Klaus F]

Is there anybody who can confirm that star-rating is available on W7 clients when using TV Adviser (DE, AT, CH) ?

[Oberon]

We are checking it and let you know the outcome.

[Oberon]

We have updated epg converter on our download server and that should provide star ratings for (some of) TV Adviser (DE, AT, CH) programs. The changes will be visible at your side after the next synchronization period (up to 12 hours).

Thanks for your effort. In the meanwhile I have reverted to 4.6.0. What do you mean by ...(some of) ?

[Oberon]

I mean that not all programs have rating. Our EPG provider sets it for about 15-20 percent of all programs.

Hi,

I use DVBLInk 5.5.0 including DBVLink TV Adviser. For the last couple of weeks (could be since the last TV Adviser upgrade) I don't see any star-ratings with my TV channels anymore. Has your EPG provider discontinued this service? That would be a shame because it's the primary reason for my using the TV Adviser.

What exactly TVAdviser do you use? and on what channels you have seen the star-ratings?

Hi,

I use DVBLink TV Adviser (DE, AT, CH) version 5.5.0. Star-rating was available for most movies shown on various TV channels, including ORF1, ORF2, ARTE, 3sat, ATV, kabel eins, Tele5, Pro7, SRF1, SRF2, and so forth. Now the rating is missing in the DVBLink web interface (TV and Media Library tab) and, consequently, in the Windows Media Center. I'm not sure but the problem may be connected to the TV Adviser maintenance (Sept 13-14, 2016). By the end of September I had the feeling that there were less ratings than before and when I returned from vacation by the middle of October all ratings were gone after the EPG upload. Is there any setting that needs to be turned on or is there any logfile that shows whether star-ratings have been included in the EPG upload?

Thanks for your support,
Wolf

There is currently no star rating available as part of epg data from a new epg provider.
We have submitted a request for it, but it is not clear yet when the star rating will become available.
