EPG still loses Data over night

[Escape7]

Ok. Perfekt.

I will look what happens with the new dll and tell you.

Hello sub. First response: Today it looked good. But as i already said, the problem was not every day. So i will keep watching, and reporting.

I have two more questions please:

1. Because i was told, i increased the scan time per mux to 90 seconds. Is this really realistic, that the 60 seconds are not enough, or was it just for testing, and it does not make sense?
2.  I found an option in the config file, to update the EPG while watching live TV. This a very usefull funktion to grab changes that are made over the day, because of live shows changing their time (longer or shorter, so other shows change their time). Does this option work? Or is it under construction and not working? Because i do not see the setting in the webui i am not sure, if it makes sense, to set it to true, or if it only makes errors.

Thank you very much.

For your information i attached the newest logs file, if you want to look into them.

I don't know. Different broadcasters can vary a lot, and some do require slightly more than 60 seconds.

Don't use this - it's problematic.

Thank you!

Hello Sub,

till today i hab no EPG loss anymore. So for now it looks like, that your patch to the dll did the trick.

I checked the logs, and the import/update of the EPG works fine.

Will you keep this patch in the next release? Or do i need to replace the dll again after an update?

[sub]

Great

Yes, that will be included in normal releases.

Hello sub.

i checked the logs today, and it seems, that the EPG update tonight failed. Normally i can see all the EPG data, that is grabbed during the update. Tonight it failed. The update starts at 02:44. Normally it takes about an hour. This time it was finished after good 10 minutes, and nearly no data was updated (many channels are stated with 2 updates, that can not be).

But the good thing: The EPG Database did not lose all data, like it was time ago. So my listing is still present.

If you want, you can look at the logs. I attached them.

Started at 02:44, and finished at 02:58. It should take about 1 minute per frequency you have channels on. ie, 14 minutes sounds realistic for country with quite a few channels.

It did have an issue on one of the frequencies, but the reason isn't clear.

The update starts at 02:44. Normally it takes about an hour.

There are two steps in the EPG update process ... Step 1 ... reads the EPG source (perhaps from the over the air data using the tuner) and updates the database ... Step 2 .... reschedules all future recordings and recreates the list of Pending recordings ... Step2 might be taking many minutes if you have many recordings in the Pending list.

Hello,

please take a look at the Tuner Log of Tuner number 8.

Here you can see, that the night before (05-07) the update from the EPG scan took over an hour, thats normal, scantime is 90 secondes per frequency.

It you look what happend today (05-08) you see the difference, and that there is something wrong.
