[no Bug] TV: WebEPG broken after update (1 Viewer)

[kkendall]

WebEPG seems to be broken after update to 1.3.0.
WebEPG has been working like a charm...until the update to 1.3.0....
Grabber file is ok, nothing changed there. It also sees the mappings and after hitting grab, it also sees the channels, but no programmes are grabbed. More people seem to have this problem.

This has to be a bug or is there an other way to get it to work again...?

OOPS, did not mean to respond here

when you select WebEPG > TV Mappings, set a Group (favorites etc), press "import", then "Auto Map" do you see the expected EPG names and a valid Grabber for your channels?

in the tvserver_tv.log file there are a lot of entries that look like

You are using a grabber that does not exist in official MP installation (3-tvgids_upc_nl). If you added that grabber after installing 1.2.x you just have to add it again as upgrade overwrites all grabbers (and removes the ones not included in the official installation). The installer should have made a backup of your grabbers, so you can copy it from there.

I thought someone would say this, but that's another bug (see other bug report).
I did put the grabber file back to where it belongs, reasigned the channels, but still no grabs. Like I said, it sees the channels, the grabber file is ok and in it's place, but it just grabs nothing anymore[DOUBLEPOST=1342465965][/DOUBLEPOST]

I just have 4 channels mapped for WebEPG, only the channels that do not have an EPG from their stream. I don´t want the rest to be mapped.

Ok, after examining your log files, I realized you added the grabber back (and no this is not a bug - it works as designed)

Does it happen with all grabbers (especially builtin ones), or just that one?

I don't know, I've never used the other, just using this one for years...
Btw, why is it not a bug when the custom grabber files are deleted with an MP update? Why can't one keep their custom grabber files, is it so hard to program that they should stay there? That would be a lot more user friendly...

EDIT: here is the grabber file, maybe you can see something that can't be handled by MP 1.3.0?

I'm in the USA don't know if it makes a difference

later in the tvserver_tv.log, I see a request for the following page, if I go to the page with chrome I see an empty channel listing
http://tvgids.upc.nl/TV/Guide/Channel/Comedy Central Fam/9u/Tomorrow/

if I edit the web URL to the following, I see a grid with listings for many channels,
http://tvgids.upc.nl/TV/Guide/

but if I click on any channel I always get an empty channel listing. for example. I don't know why the TV listing web page do not return valid per channel listing. If you are in the Netherlands, can you find a valid per channel listing page?
http://tvgids.upc.nl/TV/Guide/Channel/Nederland 1/7J/Today/

in the US, my I see the following types a web requests and get valid channel listings

Hi Guys!
For some reason unknown WebEPG works again with my custom grabber file mentioned above!
I've changed NOTHING since I last tried it yesterday! I was planning to update the dutch tvgids grabber file since I still wanted to use WebEPG for the channels that did not have EPG from their stream and the tvgids grabber file is hopelessly out of date. I thought I'd try the upc file one more time and low&behold...The UPC file works again!
I have absolutely NO clue why it didn't work yesterday and it does today since I didn't changed anything...

I've noticed this before over the years with other parts of MP where I changed something...It doesn't work directly after the change, regardless of restarting the tvserver or the pc...but it does a day or hours later...
This makes it very hard to test changes!! Why is this? Does this has to do with very slow processing of changes in a database or something? I hope someone can clarify this for me because this is just frustrating.

The link is working now (for me at least).

As mentioned above, the link is working again, maybe that was the reason.
