Hello,

I upgraded from RC1 to RC2, and since then I do not get any EPG data, not from one single channel. In the logs (attached) I see error messages by TV server not being able to reach the database, but I don't know if this is the reason.

During upgrade I had problems with TV server, so I had to manually deinstall it and run a second install which went fine. But as this resulted in a lot of stability problems afterwards, I decided to manually deinstall TV Server again and run a third install, which again went fine. BTW, during all installs I could make a sucessful test connect to the database, and TV+Radio channel search runs completed without problems, so I suppose the data was written to the database. Or does this go to any other location?

What should I do to get EPG working again? Any Ideas? Please, help me.


Note: If "database" is the root cause, then this is a duplicate post and may be merged with this one:

Did you select wich languages u want for the EPG?

Finally EPG is there. Not yet for all channels, but I will check how things proceed...

When browsing through the MP Wiki, I found that the Windows firewall may block the database communication, so I manually added SQL browser + Databse + TV Server to the list of non blocked applications. After that I ran tvsetup.exe with the --config-db option and made a test connection to the database (which went fine once more). I selected "all channels" in the EPG selction menu but I did not make specific language selections. A few moments after closing tvsetup, grabbing started.

In the logs I noticed that
- the database connection error is still present (tvserver_error.log)
- EPG grabber only grabs when no live TV (tvserver_epg.log)

Ok I am happy that EPG is back, but I still wonder why all of the above hasn't been present or necessary with RC1. And I wonder why EPG isn't grabbed during live TV.

And I wonder why EPG isn't grabbed during live TV.

There's an option "epg grabbing while timeshifting/recording" in TV-server configuration/General settings/epg which probably isn't checked...
