Hello,

 

I recently updated my OpenPLi to v4.0. At the same time, I also installed the EPG Import plugin, which installed itself as the following plugin entries:

- xmltvimport (1.0+git45)

- xmltvimport-rytec (20150629-r0.0)

I have configured the EPG import to get the EPG data for Benelux and UK.

 

I now notice that on the EPG, some (not all) programs are displayed twice, time-shifted by about 10 minutes. I have attached a screenshot to show the effect.

 

I've also noticed a separate EPG Setting on the Setup -> System menu screen, with the following settings:

Enable EIT EPG: yes

Enable MHW EPG: no

Enable freesat EPG: yes

Enable ViaSat EPG: yes

Enable Netmed EPG: yes

Enable Virgin EPG: no

Maintain old EPG data for: 0

 

Is it possible that these settings are also updating the displayed EPG, so that some programs are displayed twice?

I don't even know what EIT, MHW, etc are or how they get their data, if that is their purpose.

 

Has anyone else seen this?

 

Paul

I have seen it too, but I usually don't use the graphical view but rather the list of programs, but it is the same problem there.

When it happens to me I drop EPG and restart enigma.

 

I have installed System Tools plugin, it has a menu alternative to Clean Epg data and restart enigma.

But as this is a global setting, and not per satellite or service, that would mean that there will be only EPG on services supported by XMLTV.

Besides, this may not solve things 100% because XMLTV Import can also create double entries if schedules are changed day-to-day on websites.

It happened all the time on Supertennis and Eurosport PL but I trust Willy changed something in the case of Supertennis and probably changed a website for Eurosport PL, which solved things.
