I know why this is happening I changed the TVLibrary so the EPG could be updated faster on the first run. I'll upload it later.

Thanks DJBlu! You need to follow the info at the bottom of this wiki page. TV Guide - MediaPortal Wiki
Where it says "You can get the HD icon to display using one of these methods..." it should say "You can get the HD icon to display by doing both of the following...".
Can you do a quick slightly more step by step explanation on how to do this to the default skin? I'm not exactly sure what the link is asking me to do!
Thanks
Sure will post in another thread later.
Sorry to resurrect this - was this discussed in another thread? Just wondering how I can get the logos working with StreamedMP?
Cheers..
I had a failed scheduled recording last night with a film which
started at 11.30 pm. When I checked this morning the TV service
had stopped and the recording of course was absent. I noticed
from the log that Sky grabber started just before the recording
was due to start. Could the grabber be the culprit? Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to configure the freesat channel scanner plugin and it is giving me an error.
When I do "Grab now" in the plugin config, the following error is displayed:
"error occurred: Error. Try delteing the Sky UK Grabber channel and ensure Mapping i..."
What does that mean?
Thanks for the hard work!!!

Take a look in the Cards/Mappings, make sure you have selected the cards you wish to use. Deleted the channel that has been stored in the database and then run the scan again.

miroslav,
Going to need some help with the Series Link for freesat, I think I have worked out a system to implement it however implementing is going to be the issue,
I have worked out how Freeview+ and Freesat implement series link.
They use CRID's which are Content Redirection Identifications. They have one which says which series it is and one that is unique to the program. To include this in Mediaportal I suggest changing the SeriesID column to VARCHAR(200) so as to not change the sky series link method, a quick change to string instead of int is easy enough. The trouble with freesat/freeview is they don't send the termination flag, instead they have a unique identifier for each program. I suggest adding a new column to "schedule","program" and "recording", ProgramCRIDid VARCHAR(255). A lookup of the schedule and recordings to see if it has been added before should prevent it being scheduled again.
One issue I thought that may arise is how to differenciate between the 2 systems. Maybe a "OT:" at the start of the series ID for OpenTV and "CR:" for CRIDS of Freesat and Freeview. Then if StartsWith("OT:") use method a. for series termination or startswith("CR:") use method b. of Lookup of ProgramCRID.
The trouble I have is the TV Plugin/scheduling as I haven't a clue where to start with it.
If you could help then it would be a great.

Hi DJBlu,
Thanks for your reply.
It is still not working;
I think that I did what you suggested. Pls Tell me if this is what you meant:
I have cleared the channels database, selected the TV card and performed a new scan from 28.2o. As before, the TV channels preview properly. However I am getting the same error using the plugin:
"error occurred: Error. Try deleting the Sky UK Grabber channel and ensure Mapping i..."
cheers
Any chance of uploading this when you get a minute? Or does it need work still?
I'm using 1.2.0.7 grabber, because 1.2.0.6 kept crashing, but have had to disable grabber for now on 1.2.0.7 because that causes probs too!
Cheers!

Clear all channels.
In the plugin itself there is a Tab "Cards/Mapping". In there select the cards you wish to use.
You don't need to scan 28.2 before using the plugin.
Click grab.
It's in the help file on the second post.

I am making changes to the TVLibrary so Freesat Series Link works and I am also adding a new Custom grabber method(one without need for a channel to be stored). I'd like to keep major changes to a minimum so I'll be uploading it when I am certain it won't cause any problems.
