You could save effort and avoid problems if you gave me a chance to reply. Just remember that I'm on the opposite side of the world, so I'm asleep when you're awake.

Let's take one thing at a time.

1. EPG

The first set of log files shows plenty of EPG available:

[2017-02-12 11:19:49,643] [EPG    ] [23       ] [INFO ] - dvb:dvb ready.EPG 308 channels

[2017-02-12 11:19:50,117] [EPG    ] [23       ] [INFO ] - Epg: card:2 received epg for 308 channels

The reason you don't see it is that TV Server is unable to match it to the channels in your database. This is a known limitation with SAT>IP. The solution is relatively easy: manually set the ONID value for each channel.

1. Open TV Server Configuration.
2. Go to the TV Channels section.
3. Select the first channel and click edit.
4. Select the tuning detail row in the bottom area and click edit.
5. Set the "network ID" value to 1536. (I got this value from the log files. It will be different for other people who receive channels from other providers.)
6. Optional: you can set the provider name if you want to.
   
7. Click OK and OK again to close and save.
8. Repeat instructions 4, 5 and 7 for all other SAT>IP channels in both the TV and radio channels sections.

If you have many channels, you can achieve the same result faster by editing the database contents directly. Alternatively you could also use the import/export section to export your channels, update the ONID values in the export file, delete the channels in TV Server, then reimport them using the updated export file.

2. Crashes

Windows application event log shows:

This is a known issue with MP 1.15 and earlier.

Solution: install the MPIPTV_RTSP.dll patch from -->here<-- and the MPIPTV_UDP.dll patch from -->here<--.

P.S. The MPIPTV_RTSP.dll patch is included in MP 1.16 PR, and the MPIPTV_UDP.dll patch will be included in MP 1.16 final.

3. PID 17

As you've seen, adding PID 17 will cause TV Server to create duplicate, non-working channels during scanning. Therefore you should not add it.

P.S. Don't you think I'd have already told you if PID 17 were needed?

P.P.S. VLC is not comparable with TV Server. You do not need PID 17 to get EPG with TV Server.
