[miroslav22]

Hi guys sorry for the lack of updates, been really busy.

Will post installers this weekend for 1.2.1

 

[bob808]

Fantastic - thanks miroslav :0)

 

[bob808]

Hi miroslav, any update on the installers? Thanks

And no problem on being busy - I know that feeling well! All if your input is most appreciated

 

[miroslav22]

Sorry for the usual lateness lol

I've updated the first post with installers and a patch for 1.2.1.

Really sorry but i'm afraid that (again!) you can't upgrade from a previous Sky version to this as there's been more database changes since 1.2.0 RC. You must export your database, do a fresh install of a vanilla MP version and then install this over it.

A few days ago I installed a fresh copy of MP 1.2.1 and then applied the latest Sky EPG installer from the first page (based on SVN 28260). The last version I used before that was MP 1.1.2 with SKY EPG installer based on SVN 27219. This version did not have a separate 'Sky UK' EPG provider option, instead it just worked if you had the 'EPG Background Audio' radio channel selected.

In the latest version I have the "Grab Sky UK EPG" option selected, as well as the 'Freesat EPG' radio channel (NOT Sky's 'EPG Background Audio' channel). The Freesat EPG is grabbed correctly, but I don't get data relating to SKY only channels (for example Starz, Body in Balance, etc).

Here are a few lines from my epg.log, I think the clue might be in the second line:

I am using a diseqc switch for both my DVB-s cards, but the Sky EPG page does not have diseqc options, so I don't know whether that could have anything to do with it? As a first check, could somebody with a working Sky EPG based on this latest version please confirm the correct settings I should be using? Thanks in advance.

OK, as a test I've now cleared the "Grab Sky UK EPG" option and ticked the EPG grabbing for the 'EPG Background Audio' radio channel. This seems to initialise OK but fails to retrieve any data:

Is this working fine for others who use this functionality?

Channel and grouping synchronisation

Hello Miroslav!!
Thanks for your hard works and congratulation for your grab EPG. I saw you scheduled channel and grouping synchronisation and Channel tuning synchronisation (I think this feature it's very interesting). I would like to know if you provided a release date for it.
Many thanks

Hi there,

Does your 1.2.1 release include the weak signal fix?

Cheers,

J.

It was committed for 1.2.0 final so it should be included yes. Let me know if you see a crash

Sorry for lack of help, i'm mad busy at the moment Will have a proper look as soon as I can.

Have you modified the details for the default transponder? Try re-enabling the grabbing and click the reset button next to the transponder details.
