Guide information not displaying on some channels

[three6zerocool]

Confirmed.

 With the updated dll file you posted,  the problematic Trackside2 channel now correctly displays in the Kodi guide from DVB sourced data for that channel.

Nshared dll, but at present there is one channel (57 U&Eden) which has no info for the next week. - in Aeon Nox skin and estuary.

I'm wondering if there is some data that is corrupt or symbols, that NPVR can cope with, but is failing in Kodi.

Anything else required, let me know.

The ampersand is a potential problem so your database might be required, but first confirm after updating NShared that you

- emptied the NextPVR database from the web settings
- reran the EPG update
- emptied the PVR guide database


If that is still causing problems then send an external link to the database.

Yes done all those on multiple occasions - last time before the logs in the previous post.

In the last couple of weeks various channels have had the same problem - Together tv some of the great! channels and the That's TV channels.

Looks as though I managed to compress the db enough to attach.

I don't original see the problem with U&Eden since it worked but then it broke by changing the date range. I also see the same issue with Blaze and Together TV.

There is bad data in the database that isn't being converted to XML properly. Sub will probably new a full mux for U&Eden since the bad data is so far in the future. Thee following are probably all bad 46519917, 46519934, 46526032, 46536725, 46536746, 46536764, 46536824 and 46536851. Of interest 46519917 and 46519934 are the same show on U&Eden.

Here is how it shows in JSON and I see two problems the NULL and the missing end bracket.

Code:

{
      "id": 46519917,
      "name": "Underground Worlds",
      "description": "Hotel Bunker of the Apocalypse: Exploring the secret, Cold War US government bunker hidden under Greenbrier Hotel, West Virginia; Plus, delve into the depths of a former slate mine in Wales, UK. [S,AD\u0000",
      "genres": [
        "News / Current affairs"
      ],
      "firstrun": true,
      "start": 1737115200,
      "end": 1737118800
    },

Code:

{
      "id": 46536746,
      "name": "Cruise TV with LoveitBookit",
      "description": "Your one-stop-shop for all things cruise; bringing you the hottest destinations, ground-breaking ships and the latest deals! Call 0800 090 3393 or visit us at www.loveitbookit.com/tv\u0000",
      "firstrun": true,
      "start": 1736676000,
      "end": 1736679600
    },

This one isn't just a trailing 0.

Code:

{
      "id": 46526032,
      "name": "Flipping Bangers",
      "description": "Citroen: Gus and Will track down a car that Gus used to own and still loves - the Citroen BX. But it's been in a field for years, can't drive or stop, and looks terrifying.\u00A0\u0000",
      "genres": [
        "Show / Game show"
      ],
      "firstrun": true,
      "start": 1736737200,
      "end": 1736740800
    },

If it helps at all to debug this, i am seeing something similar on my system. Running the latest version here and the Windows Client displays the EPG just fine, but the web client (which i use) is randomly not displaying a handful of channels. Is the parsing code different for each of those? I've un-installed, removed the data directory and tried it from scratch and the same problem exists. Happy to send any database, debug or test any new dlls. Also certain searches on the web client will fail with "Unexpected error performing search" but the client has no issue with the same search term.

No logs no problems.

I expect it could any any channel, it is more a DVB parsing error and al the DVB channels are mixed together on one stream.  I have a modified NextTool that should work around  this until you are able to provide sub with a link to a full mux on frequency 586000 for testing.

Is there a link to TSCapture anywhere? The copy I have is about six years old and I haven't found a link that is not on a file share site.

Forget that - just found tscapture.com

Also, does anyone know the actual length of time it takes to get the full epg from a single mux. It is meant to be within a minute, but years ago when I used a ota dvb epg grabber, I'm sure it took much longer than that to get the full set.

[mvallevand]

The link is https://tscapture.com/ and the program hasn't change much, but maybe the links was http. One minute is fine and the free one won't let you make a longer capture anyway. The file will be around 200MB.

Confirmed.

Interesting the problem I saw on "Trackside 2" and Kodi doesn't seem to be related to multiple channels in the guide.  In fact I saw another potential issue on Sky Open on Wednesday.
