MINI guide EPG shows negative % remaining

SciDoctor · 2008-04-27, 11:44

VISTA 32 dvb-t EPG. Latest SVN

When a channel is off-air ( no EPG data in currant time field) the EPG mini guide shows negative % remaining. (time till next existing EPG data expressed)

Comparing EPG to MiniEPG

It looks like if the field has no data then the MINIguide looks for the next available field with data which is in the future and gives calculations in the negative.

Could you please do a screenshot of that?
I had fixed that some months ago...

Hi SciDoctor.

How does your "real" guide look like for those channels in the some moment?
I guess there are no entries for the current time and the "Now" entry that is shown by the mini epg is somewhere far in the furutre, right?

It looks like the mini epg is always showing the first entry that he founds in the database for a channel as current show... no matter which start time it has... normally it should be shown as "Next" is such cases.

Bye
Lars

Yes. Error only occurs when currant field returns 'no data available' and a future field has true EPG program data.

This tends to be more of a problem just after an EPG update. See attached logs
