[ViX_Misc] EPG Standby

[Centre100]

I have set auto update EPG at 0400 every 24 hrs. The box is in standby when this occurs. After the updated EPG is loaded I notice the box is left on and showing channel 0 (my panic setting).
I have disabled the auto update EPG and the box doesn't get left on, so I guess this problem is related to the auto EPG setting (!)
This appears to have happened after I flashed with 2.3 build 204.
I do remember there was the same problem some time ago and a way round it but I can't remember what it was. Can't find it 'fix' on the forum.
Anyone know how to fix this please.
Thanks

Which box are you using?
You seem to be loading an enormous amount of EPG-data. This can easily be to much for the amount of memory available, especially if you have a DUO or Solo. If the box runs indeed out of memory, the system will restart, resulting in the box to be 'On'.
A debug log might reveal what is actually happening, but I'm pretty sure that you are asking too much.

The box is VU+Duo and the epg is located on the hard disk.
I'll do some tests by reducing the amount anyway.
Thanks for your interest.

 

[Rob van der Does]

EPG is always in RAM. The file (on HDD or so) is only a storage for when the box is down.
Testing with a lesser amount of imports make only sense if you remove the epg.dat file first (because that still contains the complete EPG).
Before removing it, you should stop Enigma (telnet 'init 4'), after the removal you can start Enigma again (telnet 'init 3').

I have a Vu+ duo with the latest Vix and I have exactly the same problem.

Anyone for help?

Tia.

OOps, sorry.
I ment I have the same problem with that after an EPG update the machine doesn't go back to standby.

LoL..... If it's indeed the same problem, you could try the same (possible) solution??

Folks - thanks for your help with this issue.
I have done as 'Rob van der Does' suggested and also reduced the number of epg download requests. I have now successfully had a timed epg download from standby and the box remained in standby.
So, thanks again

Hi, been away for a few days and I notice that my VU+Duo box EPG problem has returned (maybe it never really went away). I have only Sky UK OpenTV (Astra2 28.2E) now enabled for an auto update every 24 hours. From standby after an update the box is left working on its default 'panic' channel zero.
Would it help if I sent any logs to the software team? If so to whom should I send it.
Thanks

 

[Rob van der Does]

Yes please, do sent the debug logs. Best way is to let the box send them (see logmanager).

 

[Centre100]

OK will do

Thanks
