[VU+ Duo2] Cross EPG

[Rob van der Does]

Yes.
As I have stated many times before: Cross is good for Open-TV (i.e. Sky-UK/IT), not for imports.
If you want to import, use the XMLTV-importer instead. That does a good and thorough job.

So my setup is:
1- Cross set to use Open-TV (UK/IT 28.2E/13E); daily automated import at 03.00
2- XMLTV-importer for my other packages; daily automated import at 07.00 (must not be too early as the packages are only ready after approx 06.00).

Just checked on Zeus 005: all working fine.

Ok, same config exactly for me but till 808 build crossepg imports worked fine now there are problems. Using opentv and xml import is redundant, they can do the same thing almost for italy. I know that it is a library problem of crossepg but do you think we can hope for a fix?

Thanks again

We can always hope (and sometimes pray) for a fix.
Cross is regularly being worked on, even last Saturday. So make sure you update your box.

And using redundant EPG sources is not a good idea: that can and will lead to double and conflicting entries. If Open-TV 13E works for you, that would be your best choice.

Shouldn't make a difference & it's set to no by default anyway

we are a where of opentv issues, it's been looked into,

 

[thecaretaker]

I have the same issue on my Ultimo. If I delete all the saved crossepg files and epg.dat file (as described in various posts) from the USB, it works perfectly first time round. But do a second or subsequent download, it fails at the point of passing summaries as bobsilvio.

As a test (temp fix), I saved the crossepg files from Zues 001 and replaced the files (/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/EPGSearch and /usr/crossepg) in both 005 and 006 with them and opentv works perfectly every time.

So I'm sure its fixable. Thanks andyblac :thumbsup:
