OTA EPG and genres. No genres in database.

[hawkeye100]

NextPVR latest version on Kubuntu (not Docker). Hauppage WinTV USB DVB stick

Issue: EPG is working but no genres are being recorded into database, and thence into the TV Guide.
The advanced search 'genre' dropdown is empty.

Same DVB stick using TVHeadend on a different system did find genres (from same transmitter EPG)

On another thread (sorting the EPG), Graham recommended the following:

---

Do an EPG update ... look in the nrecord.log to seee the frequency that the EPG data is coming from ... use the eval version of TScapture to grab a one minute FULL transport stream for a channel on the EPG frequency  ... https://www.tscapture.com/ ... put the NextPVR logs, a copy of your database and the TScapture output on a cloud server and post a link.

TScapture is a windows utility as far as I can see - I am running nextPVR on a Kubuntu machine ....

TSDuck looks like it might do something similar on Linux but I am at the limits of my understanding the technical details of TV/video streams. 

As an alternative - I could try TScapture with the DVB stick plugged into a Windows PC (or would I need NextPVR as well? doesn't look like it but would be good to know before I try), but will that still provide the information needed to analyse the problem on the Linux machine?


Any advice to take this next step would be helpful - TIA

TScapture does not need NextPVR. Just plug your DVB stick into a Windows PC and run it there.

You can use a Linux zap tool to change to the frequency you want then dvbsnoop can capture a full mux

I just checked, and I'm seeing the same thing on Linux. I'll check it out later today.

I've found the cause of this, and fixed it for the next build.

Hi - thanks - just to confirm - does that mean I do not need to upload the TScapture streams, database and logs?

No, I was able to reproduce it here, so wont need your example stream.
