No EPG guide information, backend on Ubuntu

[thool]

My NextPVR backend is not getting populated with EPG information. Here is some background info:

USA, outdoor antenna, very strong signals.

HDHomeRun CONNECT DUO 10693538, Version 20200225, 37 Channels. Their HDHomeRun windows app shows EPG info going out about 3 hours. Also, my Samguns TV gets EPG as well, so I know it is there.

NextPVR backend Version: 5.0.3.200415 running on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. Using the web interface (http://192.168.1.67:8866/channels.html) I see lots of channels such as 21.1 - WXXI-HD. Under General, tried channel group "All channels" and "HDHomeRun Channels." Under Devices, it sees both HDHomeRun tuners, each with 37 channels. Under Channels, it shows a list, but for EPG Source they have None. I manually modified a few to "DVB/ATSC EPG" with no luck. Under Guide, I have the Automatic EPG Update set to 02:44:00 and nothing happened. Also under Guide it says "EPG Sources, Shown below is the list of guide sources known to NextPVR: DVB/ATSC EPG"

I have Kodi leia running on a RPI4 and the NextPVR client connects fine, allows live TV pause, rewind, manual recording...but its guide is blank as well.

I've tried on the NextPVR web http://192.168.1.67:8866/settings.html# page: Empty EPG, and also Update EPG. When I empty it says "All guide data has been deleted." When I go to update EPG, it appears to scan a bunch (not all) of channels but always ends with "EPG Update complete. [0 inserted, 0 updated, 0 skipped]"

Log is attached.

Can someone please help me get guides to work? Thanks!

There is no ATSC epg support on Linux. You need to use an alternative guide source on Linux, like Schedules Direct or XMLTV

This feature is on my to-do list, but the broadcast EPG in North America is pretty much useless, since most channels transmit no more than 6 hours of listings, so it's not very high on my priority list.

Most people in that part of the world get a Schedules Direct account, which give you multiple weeks of listings, season/episode numbers, artwork etc.

I appreciate the very quick replies!

I've started the trial membership at Schedules Direct and found it to be very easy to get working with NextPVR.

Thank you!
