NPVR won't update EPG

[mvallevand]

Esteban I notice socket errors. I suggest stopping the NPVR Recording Service and then from Task Manager killing (with the show all user option) any instance of NextPVR.exe that are there, and then restarting the service.

And you clicked the "Show processes from all users button" ? You should see as a minimum two MVP instances.

Nope, empty epg just removes all shows from all channels on all tuners. But you could try stopping npvr (use the Stop NPVR Service), rename your npvr.db3 to something else and start npvr service. This will create a new empty database, now set ut one tuner and see if it will update the epg.

I tried this, and after stopping the Recording service, I double checked that all processes from all users were not running. The new database was created, and the channels were scanned successfully on one tuner. But after setting up the channels, the update epg still fails, though the setup reads the xml file to give me mapping choices.

The TV Guide in NPVR is completely blank.

If you temporarily remove your UpdateEPG.bat file, does it behave any differently? Your logs show that as the very last thing happening.

That's it! UpdateEPG.bat had a PAUSE command in it for debugging, that I had forgotten to comment out or remove. It was hanging the whole process.

Great detective work, sub. Thanks.
