Try this: -

Reflash but do not install ANYTHING extra apart from a softcam that you are actually using.

For EPG have you setup Crossepg to download the XMLTV provider: Rytec France XMLTV or have you setup XMLTV Importer to download the EPG? You should use either XMLTV Importer or Crossepg, not both.

Report back after that.

Remember do not install any extra plugins at this stage.

 

[brdbch]

I Reflashed 2.3.153, upgraded to 204, no additional plugins installed, no softcam installed, log activated, running FreetoAir.

In this configuration no crash.

I activated EPG, Automatic refresh, EPG EIT and MHW on, others off.
CroosEPG and XMLTV-Importer not activated.

In this configuration i got the crash. (See log attached).

 

[Sicilian]

When you got the crash, had the softcam been installed?

 

[brdbch]

No, only logging and EPG

 

[Sicilian]

Ok, please try turn off Auto EPG Refresh. This only used on a receiver that is reading EPG.dat from another receiver, so if your not sharing the epg.dat file, please leave off. Then again please test overnight.

Thanks very much for your patience and help in this.

Sorry to intervene, but that is a misunderstanding.
EPG-Refresh tunes the box to the channels at the times as set by the user in the configuration of this plugin. That way it will read the EIT (and/or other) EPG data that is transmitted by those channels.
It is a very convenient way to have EPG updated when not connected to internet (I always use it when caravanning).

We seem to be speaking different languages here: the misunderstanding about the functionality for sure can't have anything to do with testing

It's a simple request so that we can hope to find out why the OP is having these problems.

I take it that this is not an answer to my post about the misunderstood functionality of EPG_Refresh

The request to OP was to disable EPG-refresh. I didn't comment on that.

You are correct it is not I was just commenting on why the request was made not about the functionality of the plugin it self.

 

[andyblac]

i was NOT referring to the plugin but the core EPG refresh function in ViX, this IS only for boxes that SHARE the epg.dat file. NOT not to force a EPG uppdate.

OK, clear.

 

[brdbch]

I made a mistake in my last message,

I turned on logging at the same time than EPG.

I made the following additional tests:
turned off "refresh" : still crashing
turned off "Save" : still crashing
turned off everything else in EPG : still crashing
turned off "detailed crashlog" : no crash !!!

turned back on EPG with "detailed crashlog" off : no crash.

I will make a few more tests around this "detailed crashlog" feature.

 

[brdbch]

Retried with full config and no "detailed crashlog": still crashing.

So were back to EPG.
I wonder if, once EPF activated, some features may remain active after EPG deactivation (even after power off/on).
This could explain the strange behaviour.

 

[Sicilian]

Is NPT on or off?

 

[brdbch]

NTP was off with minimal configuration, and on with full configuration.
Both crash.
I suppose i should retry clean reinstall of minimal configuration and turn on each EPG feature one at a time.
