No Freesat EPG on new install

[sub]

I'm pretty sure I've got this fixed now for the next build.

Thansk again for the file NumberFive.

No problem, thanks sub. Always impressed how quickly you are able to create a solution!

That's great, I'll keep a look out for it.

Were the changes included in the release a few days ago? I updated but unfortunately saw no change.

I deleted the channels, scanned again, and changed all the channels to the Freesat (UK) EPG.
Should I expect to see a Freesat entry on the Settings - Guide page as I just see DVB?

Yes, the changes were included in this release. I'm not in the UK though, so some steps involve some guess work, and I might have got something wrong. Try updating the epg, then post the logs and I'll take a look.

Should I expect to see a Freesat entry on the Settings - Guide page as I just see DVB?

No. It's just a variation on the DVB EPG, and not an entirely separate thing, so doesn't have it's own item listed there.

You should make sure the Settings->Channels page list Freesat EPG next to it's channels though, not DVB EPG.

Thanks for your efforts on this, I understand it can't be easy trying to debug something from the other side of the world on a system you can't access!

Here is today's log file from startup, setting channels to Freesat, pressing the update EPG button, and shutdown.

Unfortunately the logs aren't attached. You either forgot to attach the zip file, or they were over the size limit. If the latter, you might need to put them somewhere like onedrive or googledrive etc, and let me know the download link.

That's odd, sorry trying again.

I've just migrated my setup last night to NextPVR from TVHeadend (Been using it for nearly 10 years and never felt like I understood it).  Loving the relative simplicity of NextPVR.

I'm using NextPVR in the provided docker container (which was pushed to docker hub 15 days ago) and a Digibit R1 satip server running the custom firmware from here.

As an aside, if anyone else is running inside a container and using Sat-IP, I found I had to run it in host mode for my sat-ip tuners to be found by NextPVR.

Got it all setup last night, using a custom.ini file to make my scans and channels a bit more manageable, used the icons posted elsewhere in the forum and got it all working just hit the EPG issue described in this thread.  I primarily run Linux on all my devices, but have access to a Windows machine (my wife's) if I can help in any way.

Comfortable enough with poking around a docker container and Linux if that's helpful.

docker-compose.yaml for reference in case this proves useful to anyone else.

Code:

version: '3.8'
services:
    nextpvr:
        container_name: nextpvr
        network_mode: host
        environment:
            - TZ={TZ}
            - HOST_OS=${HOST_OS}
        volumes:
            - ${CONFIG}/nextpvr:/config
            - ${RECORDINGS}:/recordings
            - ${RECORDINGS}/buffer:/buffer
            - ${CONFIG}/nextpvr/custom.ini:/app/data/tuning/DVB-S/custom.ini
#        ports:
#            - 16891:16891/udp
#            - 8866:8866
        image: nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:stable
        restart: unless-stopped

In bridge mode you also would need to set the environment variable HOST_IP to your actual host's IP
