[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1282823, member: 141969"] That probably explains it :). The relevant setting is [b]Always try to update existing entries[/b]. If that setting is [b]disabled[/b], TV Server does not update existing entries when it next grabs the DVB EPG. Consequently, TV Server may find no entries to add to the database (which is what your log shows). I have that setting [b]enabled[/b]. The reason for this is that when the EPG for the 8th day is added to the broadcast datastream, the broadcasters for some programmes provide only a generic description, but then make the description more specific one or two days before broadcast. With that setting enabled, the EPG is updated with the more-specific description :). But if that setting is disabled, the more-specific description is thrown away, and the generic description is retained :(. This becomes more complicated if you use two (or more) EPG sources. You might prefer to use an EPG source that provides very detailed programme information for most of your channels, but which does not provide EPG info for all of your channels. So for the "missing" channels you have to use an alternative EPG source that provides inferior information. You don't want the inferior source updating the EPG entries provided by the superior source, so you need to configure the two sources carefully, to avoid them updating each other's channels. o_O If WebEPG provides all of your channels, there is no reason to use the DVB EPG grabber, so you could disable both the timeshift grabber and the idle grabber. I don't recollect having experienced this, but my TV Server is on the same system as my MP client, and for whatever reason, I seem to reboot at least once per week (but not on a regular schedule). A workaround for your system might be to schedule a reboot (say) once per week. You can use "PowerScheduler" on TV Server to do this for you; see [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Server+Configuration']this page[/URL] in the Wiki (the "Reboot" tab). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
