Skipping EmptyEPG, since not all EPG updates were successful...

[martint123]

Yesterday I missed a recording that was rescheduled by the broadcaster from 2100 to 2000. The Radio Times XML data seems to have been updated the day before and the xmltvgui download showed the updated time.

Sadly the logs have rolled over (see below I had a look at this mornings logs and it appears that for some reason the emptyepg bit isn't running - I can't see a reason in the log, but thats me!.

When I have had a manual play on my test machine, it appears that best results with re-scheduled shows is by having the EPG emptied

p.s. is there a magic tweak flag to change the number of log files kept from .3 to more? I run restart server when it comes out of standby and my morning logs from the EPG update are missing by evening.

thanks

Sorry, no there isnt.

We'd probably need to see that log though to work out why this happened. What capture sources do you have in your machine, and what EPG sources are they using?

Sources are:-

1) Nova-t-500 dvb-t
2) Nova-t-500 dvb-t
3) PVR150 RF aerial
4) PVR150 Fixed RF for STB
5) PVR150 composite
6) Videomate S350 DVB-S

They all point to the same xmltv.dat file except for composite which is "none" although obviously they don't all have the same channels available (hmmm, could that be it?)

Fortunately these re-schedules don't happen often - unfortunately, that makes it harder to find the problem again. ;(

I'm wondering if its related to this composite source.

OK, thanks for that - I'll delete the composite source as it's only for very rare occasions recording off a video tape box.

I'll see what it reports in the mornings epg update.


thanks again.

That would appear to have solved the problem sub.

Many thanks for your assistance.
