    SVN 11662 still no EPG grab for UK

    Stills stuck on the same channel for grab, no time outs, no grab, no logical 'next try' on another channel.

    I have the same problem. In my logs, however, I get a few lines like '12-11-2006 15:20:13 *** DecodeShortEventDescriptor: check2: 133 173' which implies to me that an event description (i.e. EPG data) was found - but the relevant table in the database remains empty nonetheless.

    Isn't this bug allegedly 'fixed' on Mantis?

The primary genre might be something like Film (or Movie in the USA). The secondary genre for Film might be something like: Action, Comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Romance, Science...

Looks like the secret is:- After EPG Collector has Run and provided the TVGuide.xml Open MediaPortal - TV Server Configuration "Force Import" on the Plugins/Xmltv/General dialogue, (ignore the status) Go to the Mappings dialogue and Load/Refresh and Save a Group - (It does not appear to matter which...

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1
