[UK] Lost all Channel 4 HD Freeview listings on Kodi clients

[njc]

The standard definition broadcast of this channel shows the full listings fine. It's probably been a couple of weeks that it's been failing, possibly more, so maybe this is a red herring?

I've just purged and reloaded the guide data on Kodi and it's still showing as blank.

Is there a way of mapping the standard def guide data onto this channel, as a workaround?

Thanks

I don't think it is a red herring, since the full mux you sent doesn't have the SD channel just the ones on the frequency. (Times EDT)

I think the only way is to remap is to use Schedules Direct or XMLTV but that might mess up duplicate recordings if it matters.    The SD free trial will get you 7 days, you can use EPG collector or some online XMLTV source.  Might still be worth waiting to hear from sub since maybe it isn't a hard issue.

You do need to clean up a lot of your recurring recordings as many of your rules are bad.

Finally if you want to send me link to your database, I could probably give you a sqlite3 script to clean up the data so that it will work in Kodi.  Don't put it on the photos OneDrive though, normal OneDrive is easier.

Thanks for the offer Martin but I really don't want to put you to any more trouble unless it's really necessary.

What I have done is set the number of days for Kodi to display the guide to 1, thus not having to parse the dodgy XML, and it displays the guide for 1 day fine. Set it to 2 days, including the period of the dodgy XML, and it doesn't show any guide data.

Ok tomorrow you can't do that but maybe the parsing issue might correct itself.

it seems like there were 6 episodes of this series and it's now fallen out of the TV guide, so all back to normal working order now.
