[Bug] Not retrieving EPG for some channels (3 Viewers)

[doveman]

Yep, it all looks complete after grabbing on 490Mhz as well. I saw that DVBGuide has an option to write NIT, PAT and SDT tables as CSV, so I did that in case they're useful at all (had to change the extensions from .csv to .txt to upload them).

Can you try and go into the tuning detail of the old channel and the one with LCN 10000? I imagine the transport id is different. If so try updating the transport id of the old channel and see if you get EPG.

I don't have duplicate channels. I deleted all channels and did a fresh scan and that resulted in the BBC TV and Radio channels (apart from BBC One) all being on Ch.10000.

Hi,

I seem to have a similar problem mentioned here:

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...-freeview-channels-suddenly-picked-up.117183/

Definitely something strange going on as this I have never picked up duplicate freeview channels from the same transponder before.

EDIT: Sorry, maybe you meant you need me to give them to you. I've got (NID, TID, SID)
ITV2 - 9018, 8193, 8325
Ch4 - 9018, 8193, 8384
Ch4+1 - 9018, 8193, 8452
E4 - 9018, 8193, 8448
More4 - 9018, 8193, 8442
Ch5 - 9018, 8193, 8500

I just noted that in the nit.txt created by DVBGuide I uploaded, it doesn't show a TID of 8193 but 8197, so I checked in MP and they are on 8197 so it seems I must have misread it before, sorry. Anyway, it's not these channels but the BBC TV/Radio channels (except BBC One) that are now on Ch.10000 in MP and which it isn't currently getting EPG data for, even though DVBGuide shows that it's available.

Has anyone had time to investigate this? It would be good to at least get a mantis entry for it, even if no-one has the time to fix it right now.

The general '10000' channel number issue is being investigated within the team - we've seen enough forum reports about this to decide that there is a real problem somewhere in TV server.

 

[doveman]

Cool, thanks. Hopefully that will lead to the EPG issue being fixed as well as it does seem to be connected, in that the channels missing EPG data are the ones that are on Ch.10000.

Guys,
After some test :
Autogenerated number was removed in 1.3.0 and replaced by a default value (10000) when TsWriter didn't find LCN (Logical Channel Number)

That mean before when TsWriter didn't find LCN, Autogenerated number was filled, now it's a default value

As said by Sebastiii the 10.000 for the LCN is not a bug. In the previous versions of MP we chose to show an incorrect generated LCN, now we have chosen to only show LCN's which we can find on the network. There is already experimental work going on to extend the number of LCN TsWriter can find on the network, but it is going to take a long time before that code will go public.

Next i will try to help investigate the EPG issue. For that i would really like a clear description and logs. Preferably including a clean channel scan (Make sure that the database tables channel and tuningdetails are really empty, not just the MP GUI saying there is nothing).
