TV Guide Not Updating

[sub]

Well I found the db3 file but the zip file keeps failing to upload

Maybe too big. You might need to post it somewhere like dropbox or google drive or one drive, and post a download link.

I am using something called mc2xml... It was what was recommended when I installed this program. Is there something better? With this program I have to update it manually every 3 or 4 days or so. I would love something that would generate automatically...

NextPVR runs C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\UpdateEPG.bat (if it exists) immediately prior to running it's EPG update. Lots of people run mc2xml from there to have it happen automatically.

Thanks for the info on mc2xml.

Yep, as I said above, it looks like the channel IDs have changed in your xmltv file, so there is no listings for most of the mappings.

A couple of examples for you:

KCTV was originally mapped to the channel ID "I57.28459446.microsoft.com", but there is no listings for this channel in your xmltyv file. Instead, it now has KCTV as ID "I58.28459446.microsoft.com".

KMCIDT2 was originally mapped to the channel ID "I67.263929823.microsoft.com", but this is no longer in your xmltv file. Instead, it now has KMCIDT2 as ID "I68.263929823.microsoft.com".

In effect, this is problem was caused by your EPG source changing the IDs of channels. This isn't supposed to happen.

That said, we saw a few occurrences of mc2xml doing this, so a work around was put in the 3.3.8, to automatically cope with it. You're running 3.2.9, so you'll either need to upgrade to the most recent version, or manually remap your channel listings.

Hmmmm. When I look at my mapping everything is mapped correctly. Is this not where it is done? Not sure where to correct this if not in the Channels setting.

Those existing mappings have the correct name, but the incorrect ID. You need to force the mappings to be recreated. ie, click in the XMLTV column of each channel on that screen, and reselect the same channel and it'll recreate the mapping with the new ID.

Also, I have attempted to update but the following files error: NRecord.exe, NShared.dll, NUtility.dll, and Unmerged.dll... It says they are in use but NPVR is not on and I don't know what could be using them.

You typically need to run the "Stop NPVR Service" shortcut before upgrading. This stops the recording service, and the tray icon.

Ok, did that and ran the upgrade... Now I get the attached error and all my settings channels and devices are gone.

Oops forgot to attach the error.
