Upgrade: Lost channels & database lock (not the one from SurvivalGuide)

nia · 2006-12-03, 08:07 PM

Hi.

Weirdest thing. It seems that the programme list is double. One without the Programme info, one with. I.e. scrolling downwards in the guide suddenly reveals a full set of programmes. Searching EPG also finds programmes.

Seems that it's the one without that GBPVR likes the best, as it starts with that, and no recordings are scheduled (which there should be dure to reoccurring recs). Even did a full system restart.

Anyway - log attached.

I can only guess this is some byproduct of your attempts to setup the capture sources when you had previously had a broken database (specifically the channel table was broken) - ending up with channels listed multiple times. ie, it normally checks if a channel already exists before creating it, but with the broken database it wasnt able to load the channels, so would have been able to check they existed.

OK.

I see the list on "Channels" also is double as long as it should have been.

Any way I can get rid of the empty ones? Or is it:
Delete Capture sources - recreate sources - rekey channels - update EPG ?

I'm just having a look now.

Do you have two PVR350s?

Try the attached version of your database. I've had a go at manually hacking out the extra channels and channel mappings.

You'll need to do an 'Update EPG' after switching to this database, but hopefully after that all will be fine.

MY HERO!!! :p Big Grin

Thank you very very much for your effort! Everything is now back to normal - only on a newer version. Smile

(And yes - I do have 2 350's)
