[Zgemma H7] Refresh from IEPG data 1 not working?

[BrianTheTechieSnail]

I started with OpenVIX 5.3.028 on my H7S.
The EPG seemed slightly corrupt so I did Menu / Setup / EPG / Load-save-delete / Delete EPG
and then manually started EPG Refresh with is set up to do Fake Recordings for 3 minutes each on IEPG data 1 on Sky and then BBC 1 on Freeview.
The satellite part of the EPG would not reappear.
I tried several times.

In the end what worked was to restore an image backup I made of OpenVIX 5.3.027 and then restore my settings from 5.3.028
only then did manually initiating an EPG Refresh seem to be able to restore a usable EPG.

Does 5.3.028 have a problem with reading IEPG data 1 ?

Or is something else wrong?

No 5.2.028 does not have any issue updating EPG from IEPG data channel. Set EPGRefresh to 300 seconds on Zgemma.

OpenTV EPG reader is working for me. As is CrossEPG.

I did upgrade to 5.3.028 again and tried same delete EPG followed by manual EPG Refresh and it does seem to refresh the EPG after upgrade to 5.3.028.

Did I make a mistake before by restoring a backup from 5.3.027 after upgrading?

Anyhow looks like it's working now.

Thanks.

There is no need to restore settings after upgrading. You will only need to do this if doing a full flash with either image manager or usb. The online update is usually sufficient unless there is a major image upgrade.

 

[BrianTheTechieSnail]

I tried again just now and EPG Refresh is not reading Sky EPG again!

Does Sky only transmit it at night or something?

Later: No that's not it.
I appeared to need to reboot before it would work.

Now is that just what you have to do after deleting the EPG data or what?

 

[abu baniaz]

The data is there all the time.

Are you using "EPG refresh now" or just setting "EPG refresh"?

 

[BrianTheTechieSnail]

I'm using EPG Refresh Now.
Also I should add I changed the time to 310 seconds.

 

[abu baniaz]

If you select the IEPG channel and leave it on there for two minutes, do you get EPG?

 

[BrianTheTechieSnail]

Not immediately after deleting the EPG with Menu / Setup / EPG / Load-save-delete / Delete EPG.

But if I reboot after deleting the EPG then tuning to IEPG data 1 does populate the EPG quite quickly.

 

[abu baniaz]

I didn't mention anything about deleting EPG.

What is the relevance/need/reason for doing it?

And it what mode are you viewing the your services/channels.

There is no way to tell if the EPG is refreshing unless you erase it first.

What mode ???

 

[abu baniaz]

Are you viewing from the bouquets or service list?

 

[BrianTheTechieSnail]

I was zapping to IEPG data 1 from the EPG, or keying 994 OK to go to IEPG data 1.

 

[abu baniaz]

You have mentioned two separate methods. What do you do after method 1. What do you do after method 2.

I waited 2 - 3 minutes and then pressed EPG to see if the EPG was filling.

 

[abu baniaz]

Obtaining EPG and displaying EPG are two separate processes.

The EPG screens (they display EPG) are cached. Change bouquet and then check again.

 

[BrianTheTechieSnail]

Yes. If I flick through the bouquets with <PREV and NEXT> the EPG does start to appear.

How would one ever see it if you only had one bouquet?

 

[dsayers]

I press TV button that seems to refresh listings

That don't happen to me when trying to populate freeview channels I thought that was the whole point of EPG Refresh have it setup to start automatically with false recordings for BBC ONE Scot on freeview entertainment bouquet and BBC 1 Scot HD on Freeview High Definition bouquet.

If I press file list button then EPG refresh now it populates quickly.
Just notice in file list buttons they now have changed to EPG-Refresh _Pending Services and EBG-Refresh_Stop Refresh.
Running OpenVIX 5.3.028. I also have the same problem on OpenATV 6.4
