Thanks Miroslav.

I'll wait for a patch before I start to play with MySQL editing tools...

Hi,
After all of the radio times problems I got fed up and decided to give the sky epg a go. It is currently working a treat! Thanks to all concerned with getting this working...

One quick question though... I currently have the client and server installed from this post...
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...uk-freesat-epg-43261/index110.html#post640641 (post 1100)

I noticed that there seems to be a later server patch in this post...
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...uk-freesat-epg-43261/index112.html#post641906 (post 1119)

So the question is should I use the later version? If so can I just install it over my server setup which has the earlier patch? Is the later patch "better"? If so how/what's new?

Thanks again for all of the great work...

Andy

Hi Andy,

The later patch on post 1119 added some code that helps some tuners with quicker channel changing. I've tried both patches and I noticed the channel change times got a little quicker with the 2nd one but not dramatically so, channel changing times where never slow for me.

However some tuners cards have really slow channel changing times up to 7 - 8 seconds between channels and for users with these cards that patch helped alot.

In short if your happy with what you've currently got setup and channel change times are not a problem just leave it as it is - if it ain't broke don't fix it

You should be able to install the second patch directly over the first patch (make sure to stop the TVservice first), but personally I done a clean re-install when I installed it . Backup and export your channels first

@ Miroslav,

I have come up with a quick mod to your code to allow Australian Users to get their EPG.

DVBSChannel satelliteChannel = (DVBSChannel)channel;

// If Sky UK, Network Id is 2
// Sky Oz is Network Id 4096
// Both have the same Huffman Table

if (satelliteChannel.NetworkId == 2 || satelliteChannel.NetworkId == 4096 )
return true;
// Else not Sky UK or Australia
return false;

Sky Italy is on 318 and 64511 if you wish it for that then.

You aren't restricted to the transponder with this method.

So if Sky Move their EPG to another transponder you aren't stuck.

Hi Andy,

The first installer contains a bug where the EPG program times can be incorrect if you are not in the GMT+1 time zone (eg for Italy or anyone using Sky UK abroad). The bug might be triggered when daylight saving time ends next month in the UK. It is fixed in the second installer and it installs fine over the first one.


@DJBlu

Yeh that should be ok - the reason it checked the transponder details was in case any other providers in the world use the same network id (I didnt know if this was the case or not). How are you doing with the fast channel scan?

Should be done soon.

Implementing the NIT scan now.

Everytime I start working on it something at work pops up.

Hi guys,

I know its not specific to Sky EPG, but my question was previously answered on here so I thought I'd ask again...

It looks like ITV have been playing around with the settings for ITV1 HD @ 1920

My TV server log is getting full of: pmtgrabber: serviceid mismatch f0b != f0c

Can someone please confirm the exact channel settings they have for ITV1 HD @ 1920 (not 1440)

Thanks,

J.

 

[miroslav22]

Jay, take a look here - theres 4 versions of ITV1 HD at the mo Search Results for - KingOfSat

f0b & f0c = 3851 & 3852 (under service id)

Log suggests the wrong service id somehow. Check which service id you have configured. The granada one is probably best as it doesnt need decrypting (unless central west is more appropriate for you and you have a viewing card set up)

Hi there,

Thanks for replying...

I looked at those settings.. I have tried the different channels on different HTPCs... I tried both 3581 and 3582, but still get the error for the ITV1 @1920.

I will have another play.

Thanks,

J.
