Have you looked at zap2xml I pulls info from https://tvlistings.zap2it.com, plus with the -J switch you can merge it with another xmltv file. so basically you can create 2 accounts with zap2it and then make a script with zap2xml to download the first channel lineup, then run the next line with the -J option and download the 2nd channel lineup and merge the two. I’m currently using this setup because there were a few channels missing the lineup for my postal code, so i used a different location …

I have been doing this, getting Milwaukee and Madison channels and using the -J to combine them. It works but would rather Plex do this for me. I am running on a Synology NAS and have to use a PC to run the script.

My batch file:

cd C:\XMLTV
#rmdir /S /Q milwaukee
#rmdir /S /Q madison
#TVguide -z switch enabled
zap2xml -z -I -d 14 -u Userid@gmail.com -p mypassword -c milwaukee -o milwaukee.xml
zap2xml -z -I -d 14 -u Userid@gmail.com -p mypassword -c madison -J milwaukee.xml
#Zapit guide no -z switch
#zap2xml -I -d 14 -u Userid@gmail.com -p mypassword -c milwaukee -o milwaukee.xml
#zap2xml -I -d 14 -u Userid@gmail.com -p mypassword -c madison -J milwaukee.xml
del milwaukee.xml
move /Y xmltv.xml Z:\Plex\xmltv.xml
