hi,

since changing to tvserver03 i get a glitch in the tvguide, for which i use the clickfinder direct import plugin.
in the tvguide some channels have small "mini-bars" between the regular bars with the shows. it´s like an ultra-short show, but it has the clickfinder data of either the preceding or the following show, in some cases the regular bars of a show don´t have any additional data besides the title then. (foto attached)
the other glitch is that sometimes parts of the top two channel names and part of the title in the detailed info section at the bottom appear for a second and then disappear.
finally i´d like to ask if it´s possible to use both clickfinder and dvbepg simultaneously(for those channels that aren´t in clickfinder)?

aside from those issues i´m really amazed by mediaportal, it´s an incredible program(it even made my whole family a fan of htpc).

Whenever I see this I have wrong data in the "original" tv movie access database - if you know how please make sure you do not.

thanks for the hint, but i´m not exactly sure:
should i just "update tv-data" in clickfinder or delete something(if so, what?). and if i want to reimport the data with clickfinder direct import should i delete anything in the mediaportal/tvserver folders and do i have to remap the channels?

 

[rtv]

The import plugin itself takes care of removing (purging) old DB entries.

well, i just deleted and redownloaded the tv data in the clickfinder settings and imported it all again. most of the stations are okay now, but some still remain corrupted. completely deleting the tvdaten.mdb in the clickfinder folder doesn´t work either since it can´t open clickfinder at all after that.

since you have had this happen to you, what exactly do you do in such a case?

 

[rtv]

I had it only for one station yet. By watching the DB you can clearly see that the endtime of just _one_ entry only needs to be wrong and all following short programs until that endtime is reached will be false.

I'll see if this should be fixed in TVGuide or during import (A way would be a sanity check - do not use the endtime if the next show starts before it).

got it all working again now...i forgot to map a couple of channels in the plugin, so it was still showing the old(corrupt) data.

THX again for your help!
