Tv Guide reports "no listing"

[markn62]

All was well until today but haven't looked at the guide for a few days. Today all channels report "no listing". So checked XC services with a client app and listings are fine there. Updated app from 6.x to 6.1.4.230625, no listings. Deleted the npvr.db3 and rebooted PC. Re-added tuner and XC sources, then updated the EPG. Still no listings.

It looks like there is something unexpected in the xmltv data coming from http://thecroc.citrustv.club that the application doesn't like:

I'm having a look at the code to see if I can spot what might be happening.

Thanks sub. I removed that device, and its associated EPG source, and updated the EPG, still no listings.

Try this updated NShared.dll and let me know if it helps. Post the logs if it doesn't.

I think you have a description for a show that looks like it might include a season/episode number, but it's not.

Which instance of NShared.dll should I update, in folder C:\Program Files\NextPvr\ or C:\Program Files\NextPvr\client or both? Creation date and file size the same for both.

Probably best to do both, so they're in sync. It's only "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\" in this case though.

Replaced both instances, restarted service, updated EPG and still no listing. Even my local xml file for the tuner no longer has listings. Uninstall/reinstall entire app?

[sub]

Reinstalling shouldn't make any difference.

Can you hit the 'update epg' button again, let it complete, then post the new logs?

[markn62]

Ran as server rather than service to ensure the EPG update is completing before log generation, it's rather quick. Appears the EPG update treats all devices independent of each other.
