So, in the example my provider (digiguide) sets all movies to the 'film' genre, now using the listing in the XML I map this to the main guide type, and then the sub type (excerpt from XML file below) ĪRTSCULTURE 0x70 //without music <- This is the 'main type' valueįILM_CINEMA 0x06 <- Movies should map into this category, so the sub type I use is this one You have to make an entry for each of your providers genre strings and map them to XBMC's genres (there is a list of the available genres in the XML file - I assume these are built into XBMC?) Next you have to edit the genre_translations.xml file that is located in the resources folder of the mediaportal addon for XBMC. You have to make a list of all the genre strings for your EPG data (this will vary depending on where you get it from) - You can also look at the program information within XBMC's guide data / Mediaportal EPG to see which genre is displayed. Well I had a little unexpected time to look at this in the evening, and it's actually pretty straight forward.
