Good day everyone,

 

I faced an issue with the EPG systems, and i prefer to tell it in the very beginning of thread, I already RTFM :-)

 

Environnement:

 

HW: DreamBox 500 HD with external HD

Image: Openpli OpenPLi-4.0-20160521 (so the release of yesterday seeing that we are the 22 May 2016 today)

Plugins: xmltv-importer listed as EPGImporter

Manual action: Seeing that i ONLY run IPTV i added a script who syncronize the time. Result the DreamBox system have the good time

 

Problem:

 

I safely download the EPG data using the EPGImporter, i do it manually and I saw the number of events downloaded and the last time when i download.

 

The problem is that i cannot see the data in my bouquet, seems that the data is not displayed or imported whitin the bouquet.

 

I see tons of discussion this night but nothing seems works.

 

Could you the experts give me some sudgestions?

 

I thank you in advance for your kind help!

Rytec's EPG matches data on service reference, it's quite likely it doesn't have the service references for your IPTV provider.

Hello WanWizard and thank you for your kind and prompt answer.

 

IT is ODD that few days ago was working properly, but this make sense because bouquet continuosly update hi content.

 

Could I ask you if there is a way to verify what yout told? In order to open a ticket with IPTV provider and/or change the service.

 

Thanks

The service reference is something local to the box, it is the "primary key" of your bouquet file entries.

 

You can find it when watching by pressing "menu - 2 - 1" (information - service), the service reference is listed at the bottom as a string of hexadecimal values separated by colons.

Hello Again,

 

thank  you again but this is not the issue, following your instruction I found the reference.

 

For example:

 

RAI 1 HD => 1:0:19:D49:1450:12E:820000:0.0:0:h

 

Any other idea?

[WanWizard]

So there is an EPG entry for that service ref?

 

In that case I'll move this topic over to the Rytec forum, because everything seems to be ok then, image wise.

Hi again WanWizard,

 

again THANKS!

 

The issue is fixed itself, i did not change anything and suddenly the EPG appears.

 

I suspect the the real reason is that the DreamBox 500 HD is old hardware and require a very long time to thread data... Otherwise i dont know what to think because, i promiss you, i did not change a single coma into the the system.

 

Anyway, system work and i thank you for your kind answers!

 

This situation make me think to this image:

 

 

Cheers!

Not only is a 500 slow, it also doesn't have a lot of memory. And EPG data is loaded into memory, which can impact other things running, especially if you load lots of EPG data.
