Does anyone have 1.2.1 DJBlu files please? So I can downgrade before the missus throws the HTPC thru the window?

Please?!

Hi psykix

I've had a look around but I can't find a copy of 1.2.1 files sorry. However I did get my HD channels working by doing a full manual scan of 28.2E after the data grab, I assume that overwrites some of the corrupted tuning data? Still got some issues with the EPG and new channels not being added like they were in previous versions but at least I can watch tv

My problem is not just with HD channels to be honest.. It's just painful, and others seem to have similar issues since upgrading to 1.2.2.

I've been looking through USB drives in the hope I may have them somewhere, but no luck so far!!

I've just noticed another problem - this time related to the epg stuff...

If you look at Crime & Investigation at 9pm tonight, (Crimes that shook Britain) then it has full EPG and you can set a series link..

If you look at Crime HD (same programme same time) there are only limited details in the EPG, and you can't set it to series link..

Sky appeared to have changed something and not all the HD versions of channels have EPG data, yet their SD counterparts do..

One for you DJBlu I suspect :-p

Seems they are using the same method they use for box office to save on bandwidth. They'll use the same EPG entry for more than one channel.

It'll have to go on the end of the list of things to do.

Hi DJ, many thanks for your fantastic plugin.

I have installed the blu's custom grabber in accordance with the instructions on the first two posts, but notice a number of gaps in the epg that dont sort themselves out even after an hour of watching. None of the HD sky channels seem to have any information coming through. I have stopped mediaportal and run the sky uk grabber again in the tv server plugin, varying the grab time but this doesnt seem to help. I attach some epg logs - it looks like the epg is finding gaps but doing nothing about them. Also, there are repeated references to the epg download process taking up to 15 mins - mine has taken 240 seconds max, which suggests its not quite working.

I'm running MP1.2.2 and I have installed icam2's patched files and the latest custom grabber and sky file. I have one dvb-s2 card - a TBS 8920.

Hope you can help.

Hi DJBlu,
I'm trying to do a fresh install of media portal 1.2.2 final. I notice one of your posts says that you have added the latest files for these to the first post but the latest file I can see there is Setup-Custom_Data_Grabber_MediaPortal-git-1.2.0.168.zip and SetupTV-Custom_Data_Grabber_MediaPortal-git-1.2.0.168.zip but these don't seem to match up version wise. Please point of the error of my ways if I'm going nuts here? In the meantime I'll try icam2's files.

Thanks,
Mike
