User reviews

You can also save a bookmark to a local or online XMLTV file – e.g., chrome-extension://lnhfllpjnichiepbkgnfhpaakhicbelh/src/app.html#<XMLTV-URL>. Doesn't work with gzipped XMLs, though. Nice app, but looks like a proof of concept: needs a ton of work.

An und für sich genau das, was ich gesucht habe, jedoch funktioniert das irgendwie nur alle Jubeljahre mal. Ich möchte mir die Programmvorschauen der nächsten 6 Wochen anschauen, diese werden aber nur als XML TV dateien veröffentlicht, klick ich auf den Link um es mir anzusehen steht ständig nur Loading... da und nix passiert.

I figured out how to work this EPG viewer. You have to go into the extension options and turn on "Allow access to file URLs". Then you can just drag and drop a local XMLTV file into Chrome and can view the EPG with the data from the XMLTV file.
