The package I have is NOVA GR (NETMED).
THE IMAGE I USE IS OPENPLI 2.1 BETA FOR DM8000 28/03/2012
I DONT KNOW WHERE TO FIND "epgimport.log" and I also don't know what "XMLTV importer" is? sorry I am new to this!

[doglover]

Do you use the XMLTV importer? (with Rytec sources)
or Crossepg?

[yiannosde]

I don't know how can I find out?

[jcchin]

I have the same problem with the TVBS package. The epg shows +1 hour ahead.
I use the XMLTV importer with Rytec sources.
How can I fix this ?

[doglover]

You cannot fix this, I have to do it.
Checked it and indeed a wrong timezone definition was present in the grabber (still on wintertime). Corrected it.
So the information will be correct tomorrow.

Willy

[jcchin]

thnx, it's now correct.

Again the EPG is wrong after the time change last night.
Deleting all EPG data (Telnet INIT 4, in /tmp (which lead me to /var/volatile/tmp) was no epg.dat present, /hdd/epg.dat deleted, INIT 3)
After the restart there was no EPG at all, so I re-imported the Rytec EPG.
After the re-import all EPG data stiil is one hour off.
My time-zone is UTC+1 (winter time). The time is correct on my Dreambox. When I change the timezone to GMT the time is incorrect (-1 hour) but the EPG is OK, when I change the timezone to Greece (GMT+2) the time is one hour ahead and EPG two hours, so the EPG is always one hour ahead of the timezone selected?

Why is this allways a problem twice a year?

I have deactivated the EPG import and have to use MHW EPG unfortunately...

[Taykun345]

I hate this time of year. Always problems with time change :S

[kicker86]

I had the same problem. Deleted EPG and reimported. Seems to be right now for me

[Alex_NL]

I can live with the fact that epg data downloaded before the time change is wrong after the time change, but data downloaded after the change should be all-right again.

Strange that that didn't work for me, as you can read in my first post.

In my thaughts
Its a gift ,
There are no rights, if you can't live with it when it is wrong, then don't use it

Meteo, is your reply helping to solve the problem?
No, so keep your comment to yourself.
I think if you design something you want it to work correctly and want to know if it doesn't.

This time time change, called DST, is giving me a headache.

The data grabbed on saturday was correct for the summertime.
Now when I grab the data on sunday after the time change, the schedule is correct for the sunday and next days.
So no problem.

Ah-a.
The saturday file when loaded on sunday is wrong, because it in coded in summertime.
You expect all on sunday morning a new correct file. Now I can only start making the new files after 3 o'clock in the morning after the time change. It takes approx. 6 hours to make the files.
Most people import around 6 o'clock in the morning, so there is no chance I will have the new file ready by this time. And a new file has to be ready, because the old files is wrong.

So I resorted in an intermediate solution. Manually adapt the Saturday files for the new time, and upload these.
Then I will have the complete Sunday to grab the new schedule (and check it).
This Sunday, the files for Benelux, UK, France and Germany have been incorrect, because i accidentily uploaded the old files, instead of the changed files. The other packages I believe were correct.

You can remark, why did you make sure you got the correct files? I have been hitting myself on the head for this already.

The update has not made ​​this morning.

I downloaded last night and everything was wrong for France to 19 h.

[chafpa]

I just did a manual loading.

Everything is always messy for France.

[doglover]

I just did a manual loading.

Still after you deleted all epg in the box?

Willy

[chafpa]

No, I had not cleared.

I'll repeat the manipulation correctly.

[chafpa]

I deleted epg.dat, EPGimport remove and install again after a reboot.

I did a manual loading.

Data for France are always false.

[chafpa]

epg.dat would it not in a cache ?

In this case, I would have deleted a backup.

How to delete it if it is in a cache ?
