I am sorry, but have you read my previous response to this report(and the other threads concerning this)? And what bug needs to be logged? There has no bug been indentified yet in this report (if there will even be one) because we are missing vital info (which i already requested).

Not sure what you requested but I posted all my logs. You said "Based on logs in other threads we have determined that receiving the wrong TSID value from our TsWriter is the cause of the issues. What we do not know yet is why such an incorrect TSID is being returned from the TsWriter." so it seems the bug is that an incorrect TSID is being returned from the TSWriter, just that you don't know why this is happening yet, although whatever was changed in the fixed tswriter has done the trick for me.

Hi Owlsroost.

That fix did the trick perfectly.

Many thanks for your help.

The response was not about your report (which is fine and solved), it was about the report of porky9966 which DJBlu responded to.

I felt that me quoting the previous post was a bit too much / obvious to do.

My argument is that it doesn't need to be resolved in this thread and was backing your original request to start a new thread. If it isn't a bug then it will be set to no bug in it's own thread.

There are a lot of bugs about that are being reported in the wrong areas. Questions like "Will this fix this?" or "Does this resolve the problem with" in the wrong place causes confusion whilst hiding potentially massive issues. When the developers are unaware of such issues we can't resolve them.

Sorry for getting confused, all my reports ended up leading me here so it got a bit confusing for me to know what has been accepted as a bug or where to continue discussing and I thought you were referring to those other threads by "other threads concerning this".

This thread is still marked Confirm (which I think means that further testing is required to determine if it's a bug or not) https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/not-retrieving-epg-for-some-channels.117249/page-4

and this one is marked No Bug https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/tv-server.114531/page-3

as is this https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/update-scan-has-put-several-channels-on-ch-10000.117065/

I marked your report here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/not-retrieving-epg-for-some-channels.117249/page-4 as bug.
That was caused by a bug in the TsWriter, for which you have tested a fix in the mean time if i remember correctly. The fix was uploaded here because the (original!!) report of this thread is the same as yours.

When looking at it now i think your thread here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/tv-server.114531/page-3 has the same cause as your other thread / this thread, so also the same fix applies.

i know it is getting confusing because there is a lot of cross posting / multiple reports (for which i may be to blame too). We should have moderated these threads sooner. It is also difficult because quite a few people see every appearance of a 10000 LCN (on completely different networks) as the same thing where in reality it is not.

    @Owlsroost and all,

    I too have been experiencing 'Channel 10000' and multiple freeview channels being picked up on scanning. BBC seems particularly prone (I must have over 5 CBBC channels!!).

    I have updated with the latest TsWriter.ax posted by Owlsroost on page 1 but no change - I still get duplicates.

    How can I actually check that the new version of TsWriter.ax is actually being used (it is possibly a dumb question I know, but start at the start I always say..!):)

    Do you delete all the existing channels before scanning ?

    Do you get any '10000' channels ?

    (the new TsReader.ax is only trying to fix the '10000' channel problem)

    If you have stopped TV service, replaced TsReader.ax and started TV service, it should be using the new file...

    Excellent - deleting channels before the scan worked a treat! Even the Titian mini EPG works now!

    I used this in conjucntion with your modified file file to deal with the loss of BBC stations on the Mendip transmitter (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...n-mendip-somerset-england-transmitter.117767/) and my EPG is perfect!

    Thanks - appreciated:)
