Hi,

is it possible to fill up "program gaps"? I mean gaps which occur if the channel has no program or the page where the program is grabbed from doesn't list it.

hi
i did it by simply adding empty channels to the list calling them empty or by their providers name - like dvdbox and such, also if you use the group option - you just group all the channels you want and mp will zap only thru those channels also showing the epg only for the channels in the group - very usefull - a group for me, a group for my wife and so on.... :)

I think you misunderstood me. I'm looking for a solution for a case like this:
WebEPG grabs the program for e.g. "Eurosport" fine but on the grabbing source is no program information for the period from e.g. 1am to 5am. For this time I'd like to have something like in TVxb filling it with e.g. "No program available"...

    There is a utility program around here that solves this issue.
    I don't have the link at hand (I'm in office ;-) . Try to search in the WEPEPG forum.

    Regards

    I tried it and have to say it doesn't fit my needs... It might be good (although I don't like how the entries are created...) for channels without program at all but that's not what I was looking for.

    James: Don't you have a solution for this?

    @CyberSimian Sorry, I missed your last post. I ended up doing a clean install on the client and all is well now. It still doesn't let me go back in time when I change channels but it does continue operating from that point on. I'm ok with that. Thanks for your help! EDIT: I now downgraded the server (as I did with the client above)...

    Isn't there anyone who needs the series episode listings in the EPG? Perhaps someone could move this post to the English forum.

    Interesting. :coffee: I always have DVB subtitles enabled in "MP Config", but I actually switch on subtitles only for those films that have deafening sound effects and music, combined with inaudible dialogue. I have never noticed the problem that you have described, but I also use the EVR renderer, and not the Madvr renderer. So...
