    Hello,

    I had one issue with EPG today which is related to this question:

    How does EPG exactly work? Does MP start to record (if basec on EPG) based on EPG start up time of the movie or based on the EPG name of the movie?

    What happen with the TV recording based on EPG if the EPG time of the movie will change after the TV recording based on EPG is set up already?

    Thank you.
    Martin

    Martin,

    EPG information is used to set the timing for any recording. Show names will allow the selection of the relevant EPG entry, but once set, the recording will take place based on the timing information of the EPG data only. The name is just used to label the recording later, as the ts stream does not contain any information about its content.

    This process is NOT dynamic. If the timetable changes, MePo will still start and stop its recording at the originally programmed times.

    regards,

    I have issue with EPG now with 1.8.0.

    Its starts to rocrd TV, but sometimes it does not stop recording and I have to stop it manually - but when I select stop the recording in menu, MP freezes.
    During the ongoing TV recording (even after the time, when recording should stop) MP works fine without any problems.

    It does not happen every time. I have doubts it happens when the MP hass wake up for the TV recording.
