Any chance of getting a build based on MP1.1?
so far i am getting nothing but "No data available" for every channel

Thanks

I had a lot of trouble getting it to work too. where are you located and what kind of service do you have

 

[DreadFury]

I am in California, USA.
I have Digital Cable (Time Warner)

It worked fine before I updated to MP 1.1alpha, now I can't get any programming data to come in.
(although, channels still come through, just no programming info)

1.1 Alpha version

Attached is a version of the plugin I compiled for the 1.1 Alpha. I have not had a chance to test it extensively - that's what you all are for Try it and let me know how it works.

This will probably not work with 1.02 or older so don't use it unless you are running the Alpha please.

 

[DreadFury]

it is still not working for me on 1.1alpha.
All channels get imported correctly, but no program information is pulled, all I get is 'no data available'.

aesthetically, I see no difference between this version and '1.1b'.

I even did a complete wipe of all epg and channel data so everything was clean, did a full import, and it pulls channels correctly, but will not pull program information. (or maybe it is not importing it correctly, did the format requirement change in 1.1alpha perhaps?)

Thanks ixian!

Thank you for all your work!

I to am using Mediaportal 1.1a and having the same issue. All of my channels populate but program info does not. This is a fresh build and install. Any help would be most appreciated!

I am using the Alpha also and the SD plugin from a few posts back. I am in California, 93446 Charter Cable.

I haven't run a MP client against my MP TV server box yet but I am seeing an error after SD processing which I suspect will prevent me from having EPG data. It appears it maps channels correctly though.

This is the tail of my tv.log after TV Server startup and SD processing:

It seems something has changed since 1.02 with the way EPG works.

It is probably something 'simple' bu I have no clue what has changed.

Does anyone have any idea?

Was there a solution found for this? I'm hesitant to upgrade from 1.0.2 for this reason alone. I only have ATSC over the air.

Thanks,

Chuck

I have not found a fix for the 1.1 Alpha. There doesn't seem to be anything new that would cause the reported problems, which means it could possibly just be a bug in 1.1 (it is, after all, an alpha release).

Because of this, I'm going to wait until the next major update before I look at this further - honestly, I can't understand why so many people have moved to an early version of 1.1 as it is, 1.02 works perfectly well for the most part. That's just me though.

Patrick's source for this plugin is updated from his last revision so if anyone else wants to take a crack at it the opportunity is there.
