maybe i was took quick to say this is now working.

it appears there are still some issues with getting a fully populated EPG.
it is still struggling to fill some off the channels.

after a couple of hours it still hasn't managed to get EPG for ITV, Channel 4 amongst others. it has done about 75% of it though.

maybe others can confirm if they still have some issues ?

Hi,

yep same here, still big gaps! As montioned in another post epg only tries for about 10 minutes then idles out.

latest build seems to be back to grabbing nothing for UK DVB-T EPG

looking at "manual control" it doesn't even look like it is trying to do it !

ok well the EPG does seem to be populating (partially).. it's just taking an insane amount of time to do it. tvengine2 does it pretty quickly.

    Just catching up on these forums from being away without net access for 10 days.

    Glad this sounds sorted. I should get some time this weekend or next week to have a play about with the TV server. I'll let you know how i get on.

The issue stemmed from the corruption of one or both of the mc2xml.dat and/or mc2xml.exe files, for an unknown reason.

    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...
