Hi,

lately I‘m having a strange problem with EPG data for some IPTV Events channels.
I know from my source (and from openatv) there is EPG for some kind of channels, however in OpenPLi it‘s not visible. When switching to openatv I start the EPG Importer and voila, everything is there.

I use OpenPLi 9 and tried it with FullNight Skin and DarkOS skin.

Is there a setting how to turn on EPG which appears when on certain channels something is on?As I said, only iptv event channels are affected.

Thnx

Assuming you are talking about bouquet entries for IPTV channels, whether or not you get EPG depends on the fake service reference that is assigned to those channels.

 

If the fake sref is taken from the broadcasted sat or cable channel, it wil use the same EPG (so you can use OTA received EPG). If it was generated, you need a mapping for the EPG importer. The plugin you use for generating the bouquets should also generate the mapping. And obviously your IPTV provider should provide the EPG (which is often not working).

 

So:

• did you install the EPG importer?
• is it configured to run automatically?
• is the mapping generated by the plugin, and visible in the EPG importer under the sources button?
• and if so, is it checked?
• and if so, if you navigate to it and press Yellow to "import current source", does it import?

Hi and thanks for your reply.

 

a) I have EPG importer

it runs daily at 6am

c) mapping is made by echannelizer software, from the source of the playlist provider. 

 

and yes, it will import all channels. but in openpli i simply dont see this epg. in openatv i can see it. so i thought maybe its due to some extra settings in the epg section

If you don't see EPG either the time on the box is wrong, or the mapping is wrong, or the channels mapped are not present in the input.
