Force EPG Update

[jfm]

I'd start by deleting all SciFi and SyFy channels from all capture sources, then click the 'remove unreferenced channels in the channel's tab.

There are none. Don't know if it will help, but I'm attaching a fresh set of logs zipped right after running changEPGsources.exe again.

The data for SYFY (and ABCF) is in the xml file. It's just not getting into GBPVR for whatever reason.

It wont show a channel in the TV Guide unless its enabled in one or more capture sources.

There are none.

I thought you said you'd manually added SyFy?

First, within config, remove any manually or non-manually added SciFi or SyFy channels, second hit the remove unreferenced channels button. If there are none, then check your XML file and see if SyFy is in there (I know you said it is, but check again.) Then run an EPG update. If you have removed SyFy, and it's in the XML and you've run update, it should re-add it as a channel. If it doesn't, then something more serious is going on. It should be easy to solve if you can give us access to your gbpvr.db3 file - or you can do it yourself with SQLiteSpy. Look in the CHANNEL table to start.

Let us know how it goes.

There are 2 PVR-500 tuner cards = 4 capture sources. Do I add the channel for each one?

I did, but then I ran changeEPGsources.exe yet again in order to get logs before I messed with anything.

First, within config, remove any manually or non-manually added SciFi or SyFy channels, second hit the remove unreferenced channels button. If there are none, then check your XML file and see if SyFy is in there (I know you said it is, but check again.) Then run an EPG update. If you have removed SyFy, and it's in the XML and you've run update, it should re-add it as a channel.

I think I did all that.

If it doesn't, then something more serious is going on. It should be easy to solve if you can give us access to your gbpvr.db3 file - or you can do it yourself with SQLiteSpy. Look in the CHANNEL table to start.

I will check it with SQLiteSpy, but, since I probably won't know what I'm looking at, I will attach the db here, too. Have to zip it with 7z, though, to keep the file size down.

You don't want to (manually) add the channel for any of them. As soon as the channel appears in an XML file associated with one of the capture sources, GBPVR will pick up that channel, add it to the Guide and populate thw Guide with data. AFAIK, manually added channels don't get populated with guide data.

You have two channels numbered as channel 0: "24 SOAP" and "67 SCIFI" are their names, and the display names are blank. Neither is mapped to any source. They were the last two channels added. I've removed them. You also had four programs associated. I removed those. I suspect they were preventing GBPVR from adding the channels when you updated. Try running an update now.
I used rar format to meet the size limit.
WAIT- don't use that file. At least one of the programs I removed is a recording. Let me try again.

Okay, then, I'll just wait to see what you find. BTW, I looked at the channels in the db via SQLiteSpy and saw that channel 67 says SCIFI and not SYFY as follows:

cid = 75
name = 67 SCIFI
channelID = (blank)
channel_number = 0
favourite_channel = Y
display_name = (blank)

Try this file (make a backup before you replace your gbpvr.db3). I've done a minimal change and simply changed the channel numbers from 0 to 67 and 24 for the two files and added the display_names. First, remove SciFi in config (as described above), then, when you update, it should see the new SyFy.

Okay, I did what you suggested with the following exception: Since there is no channel 24 any more, I changed the info for this to ABCF on channel 60. Now, they are showing up in config->channels, but they are not in the capture sources lineups. Perhaps I should add as sub said.

Before that, though, there is still a problem in that, in config->channels, channel 67 still shows up as SCIFI and not SYFY. If we can fix that and then add the channels in each tuner in config->capture sources->edit, then do you think that might do it?

BTW, I did try a guide update, but, as you might suspect, it did not work.
