Custom Data Grabber including Sky UK Channel/EPG Grabber (5 Viewers)

I just dropped the db followed by a full install of the plugin using latest files.
Freesat does not throw any error now!!! Great!
However, there is no EPG info. Any idea of why?
This plugin is great!

The Freesat scanner does not grab the EPG, you need to enable the channel in the TV EPG grabber.
Hi DJBlu Firstly nice job on the new plugin really fast now!!
However i've found a couple of things i'd like to bring to your attention.
#1 quite a serious issue. If a channel gets deleted by hand or if the plugin removes it for some reason on the next scan it will start messing up big time. for example if sky sports 2 was deleted. on the next scan sky sports 2 would overwrite a random channel somewhere else in the channel lists (but not in the place it should be in). then on each scan that follows it will keep moving sky sports 2 overwriting a random channel each go. I wont keep on you can see it for yourself by just deleting a channel then scan and look a the log window and then scan again and it should overwrite another.
#2 is if a channels details gets changed is will keep changing the details on every scan eg the another night a channel changed to argos tv. now in each scan is says argos tv changed name to argos tv lol.
To fix both these issues clearing the channel list and rescaning fixes it. But i have my own channels from another network in the list so everytime this mucks up i have to rescan them also.
#3 i'll get back to you about after more testing..
Cheers mate keep up the good work

I'm getting the exact same issues as well hope you can get it fixed soon DJBLU keep up the good work
I'm also seeing my schedules deleted after the 1st recording of a series Ill try and get the logs up asap miss's watching the soaps
Ok just dropped the database and changed from 2.0.8 to 2.9 one just going to check it out now
Oh, I didnt know that. So the EPG Grabber is only for the Sky Grabber?
Not sure why, but I tried to use the sky grabber and is throwing the same error as before. I have done another db drop + full plugin install using latest files...
I attach the logs in case you can help
Thanks!!!!!!
1.2.0.8 has the same series link problem.
Also last night I noticed that some programmes would just point blank refuse to record (even with record once) - for instance Coronation Street on ITV 1 HD and Eastenders on BBC One HD.. recording them on the SD equivalents worked fine.
I'm going to rebuild my server this weekend, as I am fitting a Dell Perc 6/i RAID card and putting 3 x 2Tb drives in a RAID 5 array. Will see if some of the issues I am having with MePo crashing go away after a rebuild!
Cheers..
I too am having the same problem, have attached log file.
Also have had some issues with the epg grabber creating multiple streams, over 200 on one occasion which in turn pushes the cpu cycles through the roof? Only way to stop it was to kill the tvservice...
Slight problem with my planned rebuild - seems I sold the Perc 6/i card at some point lol!!
Will post some logs up the next time I get a crash - I'm beginning to wonder if I am suffering the same problem as noworries. When I look in the manual control tab, one of my tuners will have spawned multiple epg grabbing streams, and they seem to just keep increasing. No idea how to tell how many instances it is running though..
