I think it would be really fantastic enjoying week epg in openpli enigma2 images. It's possible? I don't find any option to enable or that let it work.
Greetings. Happy new year!!

I save my epg.dat in a external hard disk, the named cache epg, but where is all data saved by epg import rytec sources, I cannot see how define where save it, only cache epg, epg.dat. I don't know what I have to do, I use the epgrefresh plugin, but nothing works. Some procedure way to keep safe my epg data?? Thanks in advance.

I see the import log and saves all downloaded files at /tmp/ and this .gz files load epg.dat in cache, now 20mb epg.dat file. So, I shutdown box and external hdd and next day I turn on all and epg is lost. I look for option in epg refresh to reload automatically but only manual option works, I've enabled aut.load 24h. Aut. Save epg. Well it takes too long, some way to fine worked??

How can you "lose" EPG data? Do you just unplug your box, instead of properly shutting it down?
Enigma keeps all EPG data in memory, it isn't stored in the filesystem. It only creates an epg.dat if you shutdown or restart enigma, and only to save it before shutdown, and re-read it after startup. Otherwise it isn't used.

Ahhh...ok...now I understand. Maybe somebody in my house shutdown the box incorrectly. I go to sleep soon, and the others later, that can be the problem and maybe my box will crash earlier than normal, bad hands, my spouse and her son.
Just one more question: it's necessary epg refresh to configure all save and reload epg.dat, or it's epg import enough??

No. An STB is a computer, just like a Playstation or an XBox. Always shut it down properly.

And if enigma crashed, log into the receiver and type reboot or poweroff.

You're solving the wrong problem then. Your box should not crash, it should just keep running for months without ever needing a reboot of power down.
Find out what is causing your box to crash. Most likely it is a plugin that causes it. Reflash the box without installing plugins, that's a good starting point.

Probably... 
... but not restricted to plugins, custom skins and other stuff...
A bit offtopic
I'm sorry, but, OpenPli without any additional plugins installed is like.. useless to me. I like OpenPli "cleanness", gives the power to user to choose what install, but.. my opinion is that so much code 'aesthetics' makes it hard to run some outdated plugins that run without problems in other images and what Pli does not understand is that many users need the functions that those plugins offer.

Then make sure someone does something about the "outdated" plugins. The clue is in the name...
If we have to continue supporting binary rubbish from 2008, you can forget any innovation.

So, what is that mysterious functionality that you could not live without?

Not really, most of "outdated plugins" were last updated mid 2012. Many users can't really "see" and make use of those innovations...
So, what is that mysterious functionality that you could not live without?
From top of my head:
remotestream, AutoTimer, Epg Search, History Zap selector, Aspect ratio switch, audio AVL, OpenTV epg downloader, AutoFullBackup, send wol packets, rss reader, weather, and so on.

That's plugins. What's the functionality they provide?
