[ET9x00] Often no EPG data after startup.

[Maxwell]

I'll give it a try this evening, if that could be the cause.

Also I'd like it if propper credit could be given to the picon sets from http://picons.zoka.cc/

zoka.cc is not the creator, that's just the hosting company, I am the creator.

Thanks for informing us of this

andy I think [STRIKE]you forgot to change the "include" from the SD versions[/STRIKE] and there's a typo in the SD transparant version "Scram"



thanks

OK back on topic, just changed the epg.dat location to hdd, but this didn't fix it, the problem still remains.

Ok, so I found the problem and I found the solution in the name of the Debug logs.

I was using NTP time instead of transponder time, after a reboot of the box the time was still 01-01-1970_01-00-24 while importing the EPG, so nothing got imported. After changing back to transponder time, the time after a reboot was updated faster/before the EPG import, and the EPG imported correct.

i will code it so NTP update is run before e2 starts,

It seems that the bug is still not solved...

 

[punisher]

I used to experience it a lot but of late last few updates i have done and reboots the epg has been loaded perfectly fine so Andy has fixed something. This is on ET5K and Uno

Did you have NTP as time setting?

 

[punisher]

Yeh Sync Time using NTP

Strange... I did a quick test yesterday, right after image update, changed setting to NTP, rebooted and no EPG, changed back to TRANSPONDER, rebooted and EPG was there.

Perhaps I'll need to reboot some more, will test later.

I can assure you the problem is still there.
I've spent a lot of (Andy's) time trying to resolve this problem, and we really thought we did.
Please report if this is the case after a cold-reboot. And I mean really cold: it looks like that RTC will continue working for some time when power is cut off. So I would say: make sure time is set to NTP, power down, cut power for some 10 minutes, reboot and see if EPG is there. If so: the problem is solved. If not: it's still there.
For some background info see http://openpli.org/forums/topic/23953-epg-is-iedere-keer-leeg/page__view__findpost__p__294219

Just done this test (using ViX 3.0-245) and seems to be fine now.

Did some more reboots with latest vix from today and in my case the problem is still there
