EPG Problems - 7.0.3.250920 and IPTVboss

[Druhl]

I use IPTVboss to modify my m3u and xml guide layout, uploading to a static filename in dropbox, and pointing to that in NPVR. It has generally worked very well. EPG updates work fine.

Channel or group moves & changes, though they do upload to the dropbox, don't automatically reflect in NPVR, so my method has been to wait for device to be idle, delete and recreate it. That does the job.

Updated to 7.0.3.250920 a few days ago, seemed to go fine and everything continued working.

However, later doing a delete-and-recreate of IPTV device, it failed to update EPG ([0 inserted, 0 updated, 0 skipped]). This failure was for initial EPG update upon device creation, or manual clicking of "Update EPG" in config, or for scheduled EPG update. I redid steps a few times with no success.

I restored from a local backup the contents of C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data and the EPG updates resumed working. However today I again attempted the device delete-and-recreate and EPG updates began failing again.

I suspect my backup restore didn't completely cleanly roll back to previous version, which may be what i need.

Or does someone have a different recommendation?

Logs attached.

Thanks

The URL to your gzipped file on Dropbox is failing to download or decompress valid XMLTV. If you feel it is correct PM me the URL and I can check.

Got it thanks. Looks like gzipped file downloading got turned off, sub will need to check.

Thank you. I wondered about that.

If he has to update or patch NPVR I expect this could take some time, so I best restore my backup again, right?

If you leave the Dropbox filename the same but don't gzip it does it work?

Yes, unzipped seems to work fine. Good idea.

Bit slower of course but works, so no urgent fix required.

Thanks again as usual!

The issue will be resolved for the next release the application/binary content-type was not being properly processed.

If you had used &raw=1 instead of &dl=1 in your URL NextPVR would work. That URL returns application/octet-stream which is much more common.
