EPG font and data (german tv) (1 Viewer)

[grisu]

Hey,

I got 2 problems with EPG:

1.
When MediaPortal is started directly with windows, EPG font is too big!
Tried checkbox in configuration tool, but also tried deselecting there and integrate in autostart of windows.
Both same result: EPG font too big.

-> But ONLY on direct startup (in both ways). When I close MediaPortal and reopen, font is correct!!!

2.
EPG info is provided very poorly for German TV programs. Especially ARD and ZDF only sometimes have texts. Most times not.

Thanks,

1. Usually no logs ( in debug mode ) no support. I have no idea without more info
2. Try the tv server plugin for clickfinder ( and the clickfinder program). It provides the best german epg, but for more than the basic channels you will need to pay.

Thank you!

1. OK, will revert debug level from error to info/ debug and post results here asap. But did really nobody have this problem so far?

2. Thank you for "clickfinder" hint. But therefore I have to intall one further program (clickfinder). Would be ok for me if there's no other way. But is there really no solution just with media portal tools & config?

With MP you can get either the DVB data (which as you found out is pretty sparse) or you can use EPG grabber scripts & xmltv (or something like that). I don't use it, so it might be worthwhile.

I toggled logging to "debug"... but I really can't find the log files, I'm sorry.
I googled, but in the described folders, there are no logs!?

Please see attached screen shot of epg font!
This only happens on startup.
If I close mediaportal and restart again, font is fine.
