Greetings!

I installed WebEPG which works just perfectly... However I was not able to find all channels to get EPG from. So I am missing 5-6 channels.

Well no problem I thought.. I just add these few channels to MP's regular EPG retrieving. So I chosed only the missing channels. This does not work good though.. since when he updates the missing channels then he for some stupid reason deletes all the epg data on the ones I already have EPG info for even though I specifically said ONLY update these channels and I unchecked all the EPG checkboxes that was telling to fill holes and the one that tries to check for updates for the epg data.

Anyone have a good solution to thise since these 5 channels are very important to me as well.

Best Regards!

    Which Country and channels does this apply too.

    I use a mix of WebEPG and DVB epg and this works fine, remove any channels completely from WebEPG config that you do not want or cannot get.

    Hi thanks for you reply!

    Country is Sweden and the supplier is Canal Digital. The channels I am missing EPG info for are:

    * History Channel
    * History Channel HD
    * Animal Planet HD

    Could you specify more precisely how your setup is for the mix? Cause when I chose update EPG and have the missing channels checked for EPG update (the other channels are unchecked) then it seems like the regular DVB epg "overwrite" the webepg data with "No epg data available" but the checked channels works fine.

    Hi,

    I am doing the same thing (mix DVG EPG and WebEPG), works perfect. I posted my settings in an ealier thread: DVB EPG + XML EPG

    Hope this helps.

    I checked your post and made the same settings as you. It seems a bit better however the epg seems a bit "unstable". Sometimes it has program data and then some of the channels that I am sure of having selected inte the webepg and xmltv doesn't show up. As well the regular DVB epg works sometimes and sometimes not.

    Is there a way to make this more stable or troubleshooting?

    Sincerely!

    Why the DVB EPG doesn't pick the EPG right on the live channel playing when the info is missing/not preloaded into the guide ? Because if the guide is empty (and it happens quite often with DVB EPG) we are totally blind.

    To avoid that channels I want to be grabbed via WebEPG are overwritten by the DVB grabber I executed the following SQL-Script once for all channels gabbed via WebEPG:

    update dbo.Channel
    set lastGrabTime = '31/12/2050'
    where name = <'put channel name here'>;
