EPG update using the DVB stream and some other EPG issues

daneo · 2006-10-22, 08:41 AM

Hi Sub, here's a logfile set as requested. Note that I am still getting the "unknown" channel problem, and hence re-use my old hand-made cache-1 and cache-2 files for channels. This is also something I'd like you to take a look at when you get a chance.

I did this on a completely new install of 98.13 (no upgrade)

Here you are....

Can you please try applying the attached patch to see if it brings in the EPG streams for these channels that are missing listings.

Hi sub,

Thanks for the patch.

I installed it and now get data for 15 of the 21 stations.

My logs are attached.

Did you used to get EPG listings for all channels? (ie, do these channels definitely transmit DVB EPG listings)

Please zip and attach your c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\bda\*.cache files. What were the names of some of the channels without listings?

Looks good so far :->

It now tunes all the other transponders.

More testing needed though...

Hi Sub,

it seems that with the patch a couple of channels are missing. Before I got data for all 20 channels (excluding dupes).

BTW -- the "extra" channels with AC3 or 2CH sound -- do you think you could note that on the scan somehow? Just having (2) or (3) in the name is not as helpful as it could be.

My log files are attached.

I'll look into that for a later release.

Hi Sub,

the channels that are without data are

ProSieben
Sat.1
rheinmaintv
Terra Nova
Eurosport

It could be a timing issue, I will try upping the harvest time and see what happens.

Thanks,
Dane

It shouldnt be. You should need you harvest time to be any more than about 60 seconds.

Please attach those cache files I asked for above.
