I have installed the EEPG plugin from the experimental branch; http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/plg-eepg/repository/show?rev=expe... (last revision was 26/08/2011), but I am getting gibberish in the EPG for the FreeviewHD channels.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Thanks

That's exactly what I was getting when I tried it a couple of weeks back: it didn't seem to touch the EPG for the HD channels (which are encoded) but I also saw it trying to decode the EPG for other channels so I was seeing gibberish creeping in at random for other channels.
I gave up for now because I can only currently play back HD stuff "off line" on a beefier machine!
As I understand it, it's all just meant to work.

I uncommented #define DEBUG, recompiled and enabled full verbosity for logging in the Eepg plugin osd menu. The system log shows that the Eepg plugin is ignoring the Freeview/FreeviewHD extended epg:

Looking at the source code for Eepg it's not looking for the Freeview private data descriptor tag 0x0000233a. Does anyone know where I could find information on Freeview descriptors? Would they be the same as Freesat?

I doubt they would be the same, but perhaps http://deadpenguin.org/svn/dp/trunk/src/core_si.c is a start for you to investigate from?

You probably need to get hold of a copy of the DTG D-Book to get actual documentation of the private data descriptors.

The Freeview private data descriptor I referred to above came from the Deadpenguin developer website. Unfortunately Deadpenguin does not appear to use the Freeview private data descriptor.
The D-Book is THE reference, but £10000 is rather steep for access to technical data.
Are there any applications or libraries that can analyse DVB streams and list the descriptors?
Thanks Stuart

Dvbsnoop shows the compressed epg data is in the event descriptor of the transport stream EIT. I should have realised earlier if I had run VDR without the Eepg plugin and seen the gibberish epg for Freeview HD channels was still there.
I'll try creating an issue on the Eepg plugin page of the VDR Projects website.
