After rescan, my EPG data is not showing up.

[jt25741]

Hi all,

Would appreciate some help.

Cox reordered the lineup again (just to mess with me), so I had to do the old route again. Delete the current channels and empty the EPG. Rescan, and remap manually using XMLTV, reload EPG. I completed this task (not fun), but have the process down pat after a while. But now, for some reason, no EPG data is showing up -- except for one channel. Interestingly this one channel was one who's settings for some reason didn't stick when doing the Bulk Update (XMLTV selection did not set and was on None). I went back and changed that --- but something must had gone wrong deeper than this.

If I empty EPG, Reload EPG --same issue. Restart recording service, or even reboot. Nothing seems to fix it. I did rebuild a new XMLTV file and looked at it....it seems good to me.

Any ideas?

BTW: All my new channels scanned are completely viewable without issues -- just no EPG data Logs attached

Regards

Jim

It looks like you've got channels associated with two different xmltv files. One is "D:\DVD_Processing\PVR PC Portals\mc2xml\xmltv.xml". The other is "" (which is obviously broken).

If you can export your channels, and post the xml file, we should be able to see which channels are mapped to which.

Thanks Sub,

Interesting......the null string one.....how do I remove that? Not sure now that got there. Attached is the export channel XML file.

Yeah, the bulk of you channels have mappings like this: (note the empty filename)

Code:

<epg>
      <source>XMLTV</source>
      <file></file>
      <mapping_id>I7.28461002.microsoft.com</mapping_id>
      <mapping_name>7 KABC</mapping_name>
    </epg>

Hopefully if you go into settings of one specific channel on the Settings->Channels tab, by right clicking and selecting 'Details', then configuring it for XMLTV, then OK out, then go into bulk map, it'll let you map the channels correctly.

Thanks Sub for pointing out the file where the issue is. I just wonder how that happened....it hasnt occured before.

I was able to more quickly search/replace on the file and re-import it to fix the problem.
