yapi2xml epg not updating

***sub*** · 2008-09-25, 03:19 AM

Can you zip and attach a complete set of logs so I can see what else was happening?

insshc · 2008-09-25, 03:37 AM

sure here they are

***sub*** · 2008-09-25, 03:39 AM

I'm not sure. Nothing obvious in the logs.

Can you zip and attach the xmltv file? I'll try it here.

ahhh I just took a look at yapi2xml_log.txt, it shows

Sorry, I dont know anything about yapi2xml, so cant help you with that aspect of it.

I'm just curious what could be causing the database lock.

I just tried this recombined file and it updated the EPG fine here. Sorry, I'm not really sure what more to suggest. Maybe you need to try starting again from a clean database.

The servers that yapi2xml uses are notoriously unreliable. I grew tired of getting the "Error: Schedule file corrupted or not found. Will retry in 5 seconds. Try 1/5" so I tried zap2xml. It worked better, but still would sometimes give the "No Show Details" in the TV Guide. Then the author came up with mc2xml, available from http://mc2xml.110mb.com/ I've been using it for a couple of months now with NO problems at all. Smile

I'll emphasize that the above info is correct. His error is exactly what I frequently saw when using yapi2xml. mc2xml is his best option.
