Guide not updating. :(

[Cepheus]

I'm having trouble with the Guide functionality. It's not updating at all past the first time I grab the guide.

I've got a Hauppauge PVR500 with both tuners configured for ZapToIt. Neither the automatic EPG update, manually updating from the Config utility, or right-clicking on the GBPVR icon and hitting Update EPG are working correctly. It seems to work correctly -- that is, it downloads data from ZapToIt, then "processes" it, then "saves" it (I confirmed the downloading via my network logs but I can't confirm the processing of saving), but when it comes to actually seeing the guide in GBPVR I am unable to.

Please let me know what logs or additional information I need to post in order for assistance. Thanks a bunch in advance.

What version are you running. Sub has been working on that, and the newest version seems fine!

[Cepheus]

I am running the latest version.

I've tried going over to XMLTV for this, and that seems to be working fine -- but now I'm getting totally different problems -- that is, the XMLTV applications crashes while saving the updated XML file... Seems no matter what I do I'm SOL.

Go back to zap2it and force a manual EPG update, then post your config.exe.log file.

GB-PVR only asks for the days between your most future listing and the max days you have configured. This snippet of logs below tell me you have some listings as far out as the 29/9. You may have gaps though. Its probably not a good idea to configure more than about a week of zap2it listings.

[Cepheus]

Ah, okay.

Will emptying the EPG and repopulating it with a week's worth of shows work for me then?

Thanks for the help.

[sub]

Give it a go.

[Cepheus]

Hmm...

'Empty EPG' did not in fact empty the EPG. So I won't know whether ZapToIt is working for at least a week.

I'll keep ya posted. Thanks again for the help.

[sub]

Its probably some of your pending recordings that are stopping the EPG from being fully emptied.

If you want to zip and email your gbpvr.mdb file to me at support@devnz.com I'll take a look.
