Features

Posters for all programmes

NZXMLTV obtains images for all programmes. These are either sourced from the data provider, The Movies DB, IMDB, or are generated by NZXMLTV. We also prioritise portrait images as these have the best compatability with most DVR software.

New to NZXMLTV 4.0, episode and background images are also included, following the updates to the XMLTV specification.

NZ-specific data sources

NZXMLTV has a range of NZ-specific data sources to obtain both the underlying schedules and the programme metadata. Our current primary data sources are:

  • Freeview
  • Sky / Sky Go
  • TVNZ+
  • ThreeNow
  • MĀORI+
  • Rova
  • Trackside

Plex compatability

NZXMLTV was originally designed for Plex and as such has all the optimisations needed for a good Plex experience.

For example, NZXMLTV correctly differentiates new and repeated episodes, which shows are movies or not and will tag sports and teams to sporting events.

Additionally, TMDB series or movie IDs are supplied where available to enhance library integration.

Data Normalisation

NZXMLTV has a series of rules built up over the last 8 years to normalise and correct common errors in the EPG data

For example, it will extract season and episode numbers from descriptions and remove unnecessary prefixes from titles (e.g. 'All New' or 'Movie:')
