Any chance to find a V6 deb-file? V7 EPG is painful

[joe_d1]

I live in Germany and am connected to DVB-C. Unfortunately I had to re-install my OMV-server and with that to install NextPVR 7 instead of 6, which worked 100% error free - especially the EPG was superb and the integration with Emby was just brilliant.

V7 finds my DVB-C devices and all channels - but it manages to create a TV Guide only for the first 3 channels - the rest remains empty.
So, you might understand why I would love to be able to install a V6.
By when do you think the EPG issue will be solved?

Thanks in advance,
Joern

Does the NextPVR web EPG have data? If Emby only perhaps you forgot to update NextPVR with your donator information? https://emby.media/support/articles/Live...xtPVR.html

Otherwise no logs no problems.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Emby is not the issue - it's NextPVR itself.

But I just made a very interesting observation: 

As a test I excluded the first 3 channels from the list by setting their EPG source to "None" instead of "DVB/ATSC EPG" and afterwards asked NextPVR to updated the EPG again. 
Now again the first 3 channels have TV Guide data (so, my 4th, 5th and 6th channel) and the rest again remains empty.

So, apparently it is not about the format of the channels or the format of the data transmission - it seems to be capacity limitation to just 3 channels. Is there a setting I can increase to solve that?

No logs, no problems.

Thanks lots of info there.

1) you installed as root which is not supported by the deb installer and you will need to change your recording directories.

2) you aren't really using DVB-C you are using SAT-IP which are quite different internally.

3) You have an incorrectly configured xmltv file

3) Then I see these for all but the first frequency

Could you see if setting a LiveTV directory helps. If not sub probably needs to look.
