Tools and other software EPG-Buddy ATSC USA Testing (2 Viewers)

Hi.

Are you aware that TVSpielfilm and ClickFinder do Not have Settings for the # of days?

Yes, I'm aware.

Clickfinder is a commercial, payed service where the data must be downloaded by their tool that has its own settings for this. That's why you can not set any "# of days" here. EPG-Buddy only enriches the resulting EPG with data from TVDB and modifies the channel names in the resulting XML file, so the mapping inside the XMLTV plugin is done automatically.

For TVspielfilm you can/must configure the days for every channel individually. Means you can grab one channel for 14 days, another one for 7 days and a third one for 2 days, if you like. This input appears in the right area, near to the channel name dropdown list if you select a channel to configure...

Individual settings for a single channel is not possible for WebGrab and/or TVGuide so here a global setting for all channels has to be done.

You may have a look into the EPG-Buddy database at table "EPG_GRABBER_SETTINGS" and have a look which value is set there for "Global_Max_Days". If it is 14 then please change it to a different value and try grabbing again.

Hi there I just ran that file you gave me and the test result was the same run out of memory but i did notice a lot less channels at the begging of the log file

Hi.
Can you please tell me how much RAM your system has and if you are using x86 or x64 OS? I really can not understand those out of memory errors as the tool only uses a maximum of 50 MB of RAM here whenever I'm using it....

Right now it's grabbing all channels from @breese 's lineup for 14 days and the memory usage is as low as 21.3 Mbyte...

And please try the new version 0.3.2.9 attached. This one now really should store the # of days...

 

[breese]

I will install this version new version and I will test it with the new tvguide account I created for testing.
I will also monitor the ram

 

[breese]

Ok...
Day # setting is working, currently set to 2 days

While I have not seen the OOM error yet, when the Grabber Starts the memory goes Real high.
I once seen it as high as 1,300 MB
The memory grows right at

Here is a full screenshot so you can see the Command Prompt Window at the time of the screenshot and the Task manager


The grab is still running so I am waiting on it to finish

 

[breese]

The Grabber is at 16% and the memory is down to 65.0MB for it
EPG-Buddy is great at 17.1MB

 

[Lehmden]

So there is a really high peak after downloading of the EPG data and the start of the creation of the XML file. This is something @lightshock needs to look at...

 

[breese]

Grabber finished for the 2 day setting.
Took 1 hr for the Dish Network.

I am going to boost this to 5 days and see what happens

 

[breese]

5 day setting died.

 

[breese]

Quit and restarted EPG
This time it got past and went thru the first stage of getting days info.
Once it started to grab the actual EPG data the memory got up to 1,3445 MB and then the application crashed with OOM error.
