Hi, I have just put a couple of hours into configuring WEBEPG. Basically this is what I have done..
- Cleared all channels in WebEPG and imported the channels I have active on my setup (ie imported just the groups I have created in the TVServer so I'm only pulling in channels I actually have).
- Performed an automap.
- Gone through each TV channel checking the correct channel has been imported. I have also made a concious decision at this point to also change all the channels to use mydigiguide. So where the channel map was incorrect or the provider was not mydigiguide, I have manually changed them using the "..." button within the mapping details section of the config screen (as explainedon the wiki entry).
- Now everything is correct I perform a "Grab Now"
Ok so I see the finished grabbing message appear and it says 134 Channels imported and 1237 programs. But when I go into MePo and view the guide I notice several channels with no data and many channels with only the current showing program and no further data?
I also notice when performing the grab now, the first 5 / 6 channels produce around 600 programs, then the channel import count continues to climb but the imported programs does not. I presume this is why I am seeing alot of missing EPG data, as it is simply importing channels but no program data.
What I have done so far to check I haven;t messed anything up..
- In the TV Server config for DVB EPG I have unchecked all options (as I presume this shouldn't be needed now?)
- In the WebEPG I have gone through each channel and checked the mapping and each one for mydigiguide says 10 days to import and I have the actual plugin set to 14 days.
- I chose one channel which only showed the current showing program and no further EPG data - "Horror Channel", checked it was mapped correctly, and also that it also said 10 days.
- I then created a free account on mydigiguide and browsed to "Horror Channel" and sure enough it has a full listing on the website.
So I know the data is available on the site, but for some reason, WebEPG isn't grabbing it all. I'm now a little lost as to how to continue so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hope someone come suggest some ideas.
Thanks!

Ok, so I had a search around and I found some people talking about delays in the grabber xmls. So I modified the mydigiguide xml file delay setting from the default value of 1000 to 2000. Ran a grab and it worked perfectly grabbing all the channels and program information.
Obviously, the site has trouble with to small a delay. The only issue now is an update (TV channels only, I removed the Radio Stations) takes 40minutes to complete, but at least its working ok now
