D!sh EPG update hangs.

[JohnnyC3]

I’m having problems with the EPG update for D!sh as it hangs with 1 second left on TP12486. Note that this TP has the D!sh EPG on it and can be around 32MB.

I have no problems with BEV, but their EPG is only 6MB in size.

Excerpt of log:

2008-06-13 18:53:09.843 ERROR [5] Unexpected failed in DvbEpgReader.LoadChannels(): System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

200

Could this be an indication that it is choking on the large amount of EPG data? Unfortunately, the log is mostly greek to me.

Thanks for any help!

This means there is something specific about the epg data it doesnt like and isnt handling well. If you bump the thread in a couple of weeks, when I'm back home, then I'll take a look for you. I'll probably need to get you to supply a 200mb or so full transport stream recording at the time.

Hi !

Any news on this issue? I get the same error message in the log during EPG update. I have DVB-T though (Boxer in Sweden). I'm using FireDTV.

This means there is something specific about the epg data your broadcaster is producing that GB-PVR doesnt like and isnt handling well. If you want it resolved, I'll probably need to get you to supply a 200mb or so full transport stream recording of the problem frequency.

[Noonien]

Sure ! How do I do that ? (I'm completely new to GBPVR)

You'd have to find the frequency causing the problem, then set GB-PVR to use the 'full ts' mux, then schedule a 1 minute manual recording for a channel on the frequency. When you've got the file, put on a web server somewhere and let me know the download URL.

I seem to have a similar, possibly the same, problem. I am located in Hungary, and I watch broadcast digital TV (DVB-T). The EPG update sometimes hangs, sometimes does not, but I get no EPG data and the error message in the log is:

No big problem, I can use XMLTV, just figured I let you know this is not limited to D!sh.
