doglover has also created a new set of providers that are gz which are subsets of what you gave me - this is what 0.8.3 fixes.
It's split each country into three separate packages: basic, premium and sports/movies. The URL to grab providers has been updated on GitHub I believe.
new set of providers ?? , Not for CrossEPG but for Epgimport plugin.
You may also use them in CrossEPG
I did not test, but it is not interesting either.
It's interesting to have a plugin that can use XZ files
And this can only be xmltvimport.
As far as I know the problem with CrossEPG is that it is not all open source and python
And then it will be difficult to modify .
You can test xmltvimport with Open Black Hole image
I've put files on the forum.
For Extracting XZ files you need python-lzma
The problem with BH is that he has his own epg system
Which is now not competive with xmltvimport.
xmltvimport working on BH image but after restart You lose epg.
But maybe it will be soon when our coders come back from vacation.
