Well, upgraded to build 770 and now CrossEPG works... But I still have problem with no epg data in my epg views and now I tried using CrossEPG but with the same result...
What am I missing here?

My reply to that was:

that suggests a mismatch between the references used by the EPG and your channels (settings list). Are your settings up to date? Where do you get them from?

I may have missed your answer to that.

 

[bjorntj]

Well, I just said that I don't know where this mismatch is coming from... I have just done the same thing I have done hundreds of times when I install an image... Setup my tuners, scan for channels, copy my userbouquet.favourites.tv back and then choose Rytec Norway as source for EPG and then download EPG data...
Not sure where the mismatch might come from?

 

[Rob van der Does]

Well, I indeed missed that then.

And

.... scan for channels, copy my userbouquet.favourites.tv back ....

seems to be a plausible reason for your issue (and exactly what I suggested).
Why scan and the revert to old settings? That's the wrong way around.

 

[bjorntj]

That's the way I have always done it and never had any problems... How else can I keep my 50 channels favourite bouquet without having to build this bouquet from scratch every time? I also can not see how this can be wrong, since I always use the same satellite information (0.8W Ku band and 4.8E), the channel information should then be the same or?
What is is that I am not seeing here?

You make a choice: either use settings prepared by enthousiastic hobbyists or make your own (or a mix of both).
If you make your own, you have to do it complete and good; that takes time indeed.

It's not that complicated, but I'm not going to write a complete how-to here. I'm pretty sure they will exist somewhere.

But what you do wrong is basically: you scan (and hence have the latest info in your settings) and then you overwrite your settings by implanting old settings. And especially with the huge amount of changes on 28.2 the last weeks (and not done yet) changes are huge that things go wrong.
And they do, as you have proven yourself

I see that but what I still have problem understanding, is why my bouquet should not work on OpenVix when hours before it worked fine on a different image? Also all my channels in my bouquet works as intended and I know there just have been some changes, also on 0.8W and 4.8E, but my bouquet is already updated with those changes... And since I used Rytec epg sources on my previous image, I really don't see why my procedure shouldn't work here as well...
(I have used my bouquet for at least 5 years, just updating it when needed...)

I think I should sit next to you to see exactly what you do/did. I can't give that answer to you. But anyway you now know that the cause is in differences between the channel references used in settings and in EPG-data.

Maybe on the other image both the Rytec data and the service data were old and now you use new data for one of them?

Perhaps... But if my service data is old, why can I see the correct channels using it?
I will try to make a new bouquet tonight with just a few channels and see if that works... (I have my doubt but... )

I have exactly the same problem and have been having it for months.
I live in Sweden, so I use the same settings as bjorntj.
A CrossEPG setup that had been working for a long time just stopped working. If I manually load EPG data everything is fine, but a few hours later all EPG is gone.
Per the advice in this thread I tried XMLTV instead. Configured it and did manual update and it just said "0 events". I noticed in another that other people also have this problem, so I tried the download several times and finally got some events downloaded, but EPG info is still spotty at best.

 

[cactikid]

are people storing there epg to usb and have they tried formatting usb again and check their settings,i too used xmltv and noticed maybe something different,is it suppose to read your channels first?

 

[bjorntj]

I am storing on Internal flash....

BTJ

 

[Rob van der Does]

The location of epg.dat makes no difference at all; the file is a kind of hibernation file: when Enigma closes, the data is kept on a storage device. On startup it is read, so it is available again.
Only storing to flash isn't handy: sometimes the file can grow very large and cause malfunctions when in flash.

But back to the problem. Let's try to separate things.
1- If XMLTV doesn't download it's a problem in itself. Remind me which image you're using please? I take it you don't use Cross for XMLTV, but the separate plugin?
2- I agree that if channels are working, EPG should work as well. Although I can think of exceptions, if services are moving to other transponders they may be transmitting in simulcast; you might be looking at another transponder then the EPG is created for atm (just guessing here).

Can you send me your settings: I then can upload them to my box and see if I can reproduce the issue.

 

[bjorntj]

I am using the XMLTV Importer that comes with OpenViX, under Settings and EPG.. Tried with CrossEPG also, XMLTV, but with the same result..

Which settings do you want, just my bouquet or more files? And where do you want it? As a PM or?


BTJ

 

[Rob van der Does]

The channel settings. So download with DBE or any other one and post here (or PM, makes no difference to me; nothing personal in there).

 

[bjorntj]

Here you go....: View attachment userbouquet.favourites.tv.log

[Rob van der Does]

Naah, I need the complete settings as a settings editor downloads them from your box. This is only one file.

 

[bjorntj]

Don't use such programs.. But you want every file under /etc/enigma2?
Or just lamedb plus the bouquet?
