    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?

    Thank you for confirming that U&W works for you. I ended up deleting U&W and rescanning for channels. That fixed the issue.

    Update: Problem solved! The electronic program guides (tvguide.xml) have been successfully transferred to MediaPortal. The issue stemmed from the corruption of one or both of the mc2xml.dat and/or mc2xml.exe files, for an unknown reason. Consequently, even though the tvguide.xml file appeared to be updated, its content kept being an...

    In the UK, the EPG transmitted in the DVB-T datastream allows each programme to have two genres -- a primary genre, and a secondary genre (i.e. a subgenre). 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...

    Hey CyberSimian you nailed it! 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...
