Media Portal 2 EPG data missing (2 Viewers)

[TonyJM]

Hi ge2301... out of desperation I have done an O/S restore on the machine and am in the process of putting a fresh MP2 installation on it... if the problem is still there once its reinstalled I'll attach log files...

Thanks for your reply

A complete fresh re-install seems to have got it working again... I can watch TV but still no EPG data, but I think that is just going to take time to populate.

One odd thing I have noticed is that there is now no TV Service listed under services - but it must be there as when I made changes to the configuration it said that the TV Service needed to restart... so it must be there I guess!

Also all the channel numbers have moved again - doh!

Thanks and hopefully when the EPG data comes through I'll be back up and running

That was probably the issue, you had a MP1 installation with TV-service in parallel, so MP2 could not work.
In MP2, there should be only "MediaPortal 2 Server Service", no TVService startet. It's included in the server as far as I know.

I had a vague recollection of that and remember that I had disabled the "TV Service" when I installed MP2...

Now its sort of working again I have noticed something odd... I wanted to get the channel numbers back to what they are in the back-end and I found a post which said to set "zap by channel index" setting to "no" and it would use the backend channel numbers... which it now does.

But - I now have 6 channels all numbered 10000 - the EPG data is there for all these channels but nothing (yet) for the channels with the normal numbers (e.g. BBC1 HD = 101, BBC2 HD = 102, etc).

I am thinking this might be to do with the changes which were mentioned earlier?

 

[TonyJM]

I just checked and the EPG data for most of the channels are now populated... so I think the fresh install may have sorted things out

Still curious why I have six channels all 10000 though?

Thanks for all the help guys

Hi,

10000 is a default value. All my channels here in Germany have the 10000 value. Nothing to worry about.

Cheers

Many thanks for the reassurance BlueMax - all seems to be working fine now and most EPG data is back on the fresh installation.
