EPG and channel mapping in current version

[Tre4Bax]

I am in so much trouble. I got to one of those places where I thought it was time for a rescan of channels. Unfortunately I did not know that bulk map is completely broken on the latest version of NextPVR! Initially I thought I could just use the freesat and DVBT options but ended up with big holes in my EPG after one day (No show details) so under spouse pressure used bulk map to go back to XMLTV. Sadly this changed all the channels to XMLTV but the source file and channel did not get saved and now I am having to go one by one through every channel (nearly 300 of them) setting the file and channel manually :-(

Does anyone have any way i can work around this? At this point even some form of file hacking would be acceptable as editing each channel one by one is unbelievably slow...

Did you try this patch?

Hi NYPlayer,

I did thanks, but alas it did not work for me. It did get further than without it though as it at least did the mapping of names thing before clearing out all the settings when I hit okay :-(

Make sure you have all the patches in the sticky thread - newer patches may be dependent on earlier ones.

Someone had to update their db after the above patch see this post http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post482874
(But if you need to run that sql command make sure you change the file location to suit your system.)

To get freesat epg working correctly there is a patch here http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post482063
which should stop the epg problems you had with the freesat / DVB-T epg.

Hi Lao pan (old disk?)

Many thanks for this I'll go back through and make sure I've got all the patches loaded. The freesat one is particularly interesting as currently I have to run epgcollector every night so cutting that out would be good.

Yesteday did however help me to fix the issue I had with the categories getting out of control as epgcollector had an option ticked that put descriptions into the category!!! That should make my epg pop up a bit more quickly now and save me regularly clearing out the categories ;-)
