XMLTV EPG update not working

[LaChab]

Hi,

All been working fine for months, but suddenly the EPG in NextPVR (Windows) isn't being updated.

I run "update EPG" in "settings / About", which inserts 612, skips 3089.
But NextPVR still doesn't have any future EPG entries.
The channels are all watchable, just no EPG.

I've attached some of the log files.

Thanks

First, since you don't have and update batch file make sure however you create the xmltv is working correctly, I suspect it is failing.

2023-10-24 15:17:51.334 [DEBUG][28] No C:\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\scripts\UpdateEPG.bat file found
2023-10-24 15:17:51.359 [DEBUG][28] Will process xmltv file: r:\xmltv gui\data.xml

Also your signal quality seems a bit low so the channels you load OTA might be missing data too.

It looks like like have a lot of recordings that aren't mapped correctly and they need to be redone. You probably should upgrade to the current version too.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for looking at it so quickly.

I've attached the XMLData file. It looks comprehensive!

I don't think i've ever set up a UpdateEPG.bat. I just run the XMLTVGUI, and then update EPG in NextPVR.

Would I need to redo all the channel mapping if I installed the latest version?

Thanks,

You can't attach XML files, they need to be zipped.

Channel mapping would have nothing to do with the version upgrade however it is possible that many of your channels are mapped to DVB OTA and not XMLTV which might be causing a problem. No harm in remapping. The channels that show DVB can either manually be remapped or set all to None and then remap.

I think these are all set up for OTA not XMLTV and some might duplicate XMLTV Normally those should get more channels on DVB-S in the UK
