Some channels in EPG have no data

If there is certain shows consistent not being pulled out of the stream, you might need to do a 1 minute 'full ts' recording in GBPVR and make the file available somewhere for me to take a look. I can run it up in the debugger to see what it doesnt like about those shows.

Sub - generally the entire channel will have no data, then on the next try it is complete, and so on. Out of the 4 ABC channels I have in my EPG on most occassions at least one of them will have no data. But the empty channel changes from update to update.
Reddwarf - I did take a look at the files but not a line by line compare. As dvbguide was consistently providing me with 1877 records and the nature of the fault I am seeing on NPVR is that 5 consecutive updates perfrormed within seconds of each other showed random amounts of data the record count appeared to be a good indicator. I will take another look tonight when I have more time.

Visit the TV Guide, and post the npvr.log, and the names of channels that have no data, and I'll take a look.

Does it work if you update from the xmltv-file you get from DVBGuide?

Sub, I have attached 4 log files taken one immediately after the other.
Note that I cleared the log files each time before performing the requested sequence. These are the empty channels for each log file. Logs1: Ch 6 "7-1", Ch 7 "7-2" Logs2: All ok Logs3: Ch 7 "7-2", Ch 12 "7mate" Logs4: Ch 6 "7-1", Ch 1 "SBS1" Reddwarf Wrote:Does it work if you update from the xmltv-file you get from DVBGuide? I will have a crack at that on the weekend when I have more time. I need to familiarize myself with DVBGuide as until you recommended looking at it I had not used it before. It gave me an xml file for the ABC channels but I had not yet worked out whether I could simply give it a list of carrier frequencies for the other channels or whether I would need to run it separately for each carrier frequency and then concat the files. I am guessing I will need to setup a little batch to dump and concat the files. Anyhow - job for the weekend. But with any luck Sub will find something in the logs above that explains the gaps in the data.

Reddwarf - thanks for your batch file.
Here's one for Melbourne incase anyone else needs it. @echo off C: CD \DVBCollector del /Q *.xml dvbguide -fX -aT -c177500 -e60 -b7 -oc:\DVBCollector\EPG1.xml dvbguide -fX -aT -c191625 -e60 -b7 -oc:\DVBCollector\EPG2.xml dvbguide -fX -aT -c219500 -e60 -b7 -oc:\DVBCollector\EPG3.xml dvbguide -fX -aT -c226500 -e60 -b7 -oc:\DVBCollector\EPG4.xml dvbguide -fX -aT -c536625 -e60 -b7 -oc:\DVBCollector\EPG5.xml Xmltvmerge EPG1.xml EPG2.xml EPG3.xml EPG4.xml EPG5.xml /output:EPG.xml xmltvmerge would not work withou the xmltv.dtd file. I found one on the gbpvr wiki but do you know where to download the latest ?

Sub, Reddwarf,
I have performed 5 consecutive updates with DVBGuide and loaded the data into NPVR. The data is always consistent.
