[QUOTE="Chris Melville, post: 1192650, member: 159517"] Thank you for taking note of this thread, and being willing to help :) (Sorry, I don't know how to mark-up another level of quotation here...) When it used to work - after I click "Refresh EPG" (under Manual Control), I would wait until the relevant card had stopped grabbing EPG data before looking at the EPG. So one would assume that there was no more process to complete. Unless there are further background processes which take more time, even after the Manual Control screen has apparently completed its grabbing?? Okay, I appreciate that. Currently I only have the TV Serve back-end installed. If necessary, further down the line I can also install the MP front-end. Okay - so I understand that it would delete all EPG data. However there is no explanation for why, since yesterday, I see no activity whatsoever after the "EPG Grabber will restart in a few seconds" message :( I have now uploaded a log file to my original post. This was logged today. Note that there are some errors in WebEPG not finding sources (for some channels). That was run at 15:09. However then at 15:14 I clicked "Refresh DVB EPG" (Manual Control), expecting there to be a further log entry to show that activity - but there was nothing. No more data written to the log file. This was the most recently-modified log file in the directory. Can you explain why the manual DVB EPG refresh operation would produce no activity? It's as if the commend simply never gets executed. If I do a WebEPG import, and let it run to completion, and do *not* try to manually refresh the DVB EGP, the guide is still empty. I do have a working knowledge of SQL. But I want to know where the database is stored. Whatever the file type (.mdb or otherwise) I am happy to investigate, but I first need to know where the file actually is. I have been given no clues so far. I do understand that the channels, EPG etc are stored on a local database server (I am running single-seat). But that SQL server was installed as part of the MediaPortal installation package, and set up automatically from there. I have been presented with no options as to how to actually access that database. I used default settings. Grateful if you could let me know where the actual data files would have been installed. Edit - it's ok, I found the .ibd files in the MySQL Server directory under ProgramData. Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
