Ok. I have it already installed (as the Wiki guide suggested). Do you know the difference between MySQl and SQL 2005 ? Is one better that the other in this case ??

Yes !!!! I got it working !!! I shut off all EPG grabbing, restarted the TV-service and voila, the preview work lika a charm and in MP too. Unfortunatly i erased all my channels when i was sorting in the list so now i´m scanning again and have to go. I don´t know if this worked only once and the EPG was the reason. I´ll examine this later on and post again...

What the fuck is happening !!!!!!!! After the scan nothing works and it´s all the same again, Why ?????????? I haven´t changed or touched anything and i honestly can´t say what i did to get it working besides that the server has been up and running for like 10 hours..... I´m getting really tired of this

    hmm I didn't get any mail notifications until your last post.

    Well some people prefer SQL 2005 some MySQL. I prefer to have as much opensource on my systems so I use MySQL. I am sure there are pro's and cons for both databases but I am also sure that support for open-source rules out the Microsoft support.

    Maybe the DVB-EPG was re-activated after scanning the channels ?

    It seems that the EPG grabbing starts as soon as the server is running. Does this have to be done first and then i can look at the preview ?? How long should this take ?? For now i have only 2 channels mapped to my card but even when i stop the EPG in manuals i can´t preview or timeshift after that (even tried stop and start)

    If you deactivate the EPG grabbing and restart the service this setting will be stored and afterwards there will be no further scans. The scan however should stop if you try to timeshift manually. Since you seem to have problems with this I recommended to deactivate the scan in the first place.

    It doesn´t matter what i do !!! I´ve unticked every channel in the EPG section and start-stop service (all in setup) but no fucking (sorry) preview... And all of a sudden i can´scan for channels despite same settings, it says nothing found on every transponder but the channellist is still there ( it doesnt get reseted despite new scan) It smells that somethings is funny with the database.

    The most irretating thing is that i got it to work once but didn´t know why and how..... Going to sleep now...

    Hi Stevieg_73,

    I had some really wierd problems with EPG the other day. I spent many hours trying to get it to work but no success....

    Until I decided touse a bit of brute force. I stopped TVService and SQLServer, and shutdown MP. Then I removed the files TVlibrary* in C:\Program\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data. I restarted the services and rescanned all channels (actually imported the channel list that I exported before the removal of the files).

    And violà, all works. EPG nicely in MP etc.

    I think I found a post somewhere that the database may become corrupted and this was one solution to fix the problem.

    If you've spend a lot of time selecting channels etc just make sure you export them before deleting the TVlibrary* files.

    As I said, brute force, but it did the trick for me.

    /Peter

    Then I removed the files TVlibrary* in C:\Program\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data.

    You deleted the database this way. You can do the same with SQL Server Management Studio Express which I mentioned earlier. You could destroy the whole database application with the need to reinstall if you delete these files like you described.
