Ever since the new system with random site picker was introduced, automatic epg download doesn't work.

Manual download also doesn't work unless I reboot the box (500plus with enigma2) and then start the download.

It worked fine before so something must have changed recently.

The log says something like "unknown channel"

Can this be fixed?

My importlog from this morning:

Some unknown channels are normal. These channels are not available on your system or are not linked.

I updated the importer and I also installed
enigma2-plugin-extensions-xmltvimport-rytec_20110303-r2_all.ipk - sources file.

The epg data are imported but the enigma2 didn't restart to load the newly downloaded epg.

I had to restart it manually.

When I say 'I updated the importer' it means I unpacked the
enigma2-plugin-extensions-xmltvimport_1.0-r36_mipsel.ipk and put the EPGImport in Extensions folder because the ipk won't install on a ppc box.

So the bottom line is import works but automatic enigma2 restart doesn't work on ppc boxes even though it worked with the previous vesion of the importer.

Is there any way this can be fixed?
I can change the new restart code with the older one but I don't know where to find it.

It does not restart enigma2 because it does not need to. Don't compare it with other EPG tools, the importer stores data directly into the system, you can even access it while it's still coming in.

[kalehrl]

New epg was not loaded.
I remember one channel did not have epg from the previous import.
When I restarted enigma, the epg was there because the new import included epg for that channel.
Again, I use a ppc box and this may be the problem.

AFAIK PLi is the only image were E2 does not need a restart after EPG-import: hence this (common) misunderstanding.

...I use a ppc box...

Which? I know none that runs Enigma2...

[kalehrl]

I have a 500+ and run pcd's enigma2 image.
There are e2 images for 600pvr and 7020, so all OE ppc boxes can run e2.

[kalehrl]

I just erased the existing epg and imported a small source.
The import was successful and there was a message 'you have to restart enigma' and the countdown timer reached 0 but there was no enigma restart.
And the epg did not appear before I restarted enigma manually.
Here is the log:

Here is the log:

A work around:

set a cronjob to reload enigma some time after the import started. (Make sure to allow for enough time to complete the epgimport)

A batch script with:
init 4
init 3

in it should do the job (test this first in a telnet session)

Thank you doglover for this useful post.
I created a simple script:

#!/bin/sh
init 4
sleep 1
init 3

tested it in telnet after epg import and it worked!

I still suffer with this. I don't exactly when it all happened, but the only time I get events passed to the epg is when I restart the box completely. Scheduled imports as well as manual imports show 0 events every time I try.

I tried to put the rytec.sources.xml as stated in one of the threads here. Sources I want are the english channels.

Is there a way to debug this?

cheers,

Wiz

If found this out as well today.
Seems that our random picker does not do its job completely.
The XMLTVEPG.be is again offline. The idea was that then an other should be selected. However something failed here.

I have attached the sources file in which I have removed the choice XMLTVEPG.be and then it is working again.
Place the file in etc/epgimport. Restart your box and reimport.

Thanks Willy for your quick reply.

I've placed the attached rytec.sources.xml, and will reboot the box once the recordings are finished.

PS: works only with the latest XMLTV import plug-in.

I've rebooted the box yesterday, and then the import went fine.

This morning the scheduled update was ok too.

thanks again Willy!

cheers,
