Not all EPG data shown in Guide

[janoonk]

The first two recordings are done with Full Transport (but are quite small 11MB for 60sec so obviously something goes wrong) and the third with Single (big 49MB for 60sec). SD quality.
If all three recordings are not in the format what you expect then sorry. Did you try all three recordings?
Maybe I can use another tool that works better for me?

Btw I also used TVHeadend and all EPG data was captured correctly:

Yes, I looked at all three. None of them are usable. The first two initially looked like full transport streams, but were missing lots of streams.

I'm sure there is other tools you could use, but I'm not sure what they might be.

If you are using TVHeadend that means you can use dvbsnoop to capture full mux

You had it right the first time sub normally wants the full transport stream.

Ok I finally succeeded in capturing the Full Transport (thanks to sub). In the HDHomeRun Install Wizard (I first updated it to latest version) you need to select "BDA Compatibility Mode: MediaPortal" and Apply and Finish setup.
Then just redo steps (see above posts). Now it captured like 150MB/min. Here's my capture:

That file looks much better.

Is your HDHR firmware current. Silicon Dust was supposed to have turned off filtering in their 20200521 firmware.

Using your example file, I was able to find the cause.

NextPVR supports DVB EPG systems that use either 'short event descriptor' or the 'extended event descriptor'. It just so happened that your EPG system used both, and the 'short event descriptor' was taking precedence (because of the order), it contained particularly short descriptions (like "Film").

Try replacing your NPVRTSMon.ax with the attached version, then do an 'Empty EPG' followed by an 'Update EPG'.

I am running the latest docker container and if I can't find the file in /app or lower dir.

Update: I installed it on my Windows PC and after installation I replaced the .ax file in C:\Program Files\NextPVR
To be sure I restarted the NextPVR Windows service and emptied and updated EPG but I still get the same EPG without long descriptions:

Ah, sorry - I didn't think to check it on an 'HDHR' style device. That fix was for BDA style device, ie USB/PCIe device connected to the machine, or HDHomeRun devices using the BDA drivers ('DVB-T' / 'DVB-C' device types on the Devices screen). The 'HDHR' style EPG is done a slightly different way. I'll check that too and fix.
