If you set the Area on the Advanced tab to undefined the MHEG5 collection should work.

Selecting an area only works for NZ satellite.

Try this one for MHEG5.

http://www.4shared.com/file/bbif2UWH/EPG_Collector_V030100_Install_.html

I've increased one of the timeouts. If it still doesn't work could you use EPG Centre to do a transport stream dump (under Run) of your frequency and upload it somewhere for me to pick it up. 30 secs should be enough.

Thanks

Steve

Got the dump thanks.

EPG Collector doesn't get one of the MHEG5 control records that it needs for some reason. I'll work on it tomorrow and get back to you.

Got the same thing happening, SJB. Logfile picks up the MHEG5 stream but no data.

@SJB: Wharite works fine for me. I can provide a dump for comparison if it would be helpful.

Yes please that would be great.

Looking at the dump from ralphski there are only a few blocks of MHEG5 data - there should be hundreds.

Can you try this version after putting BDA,PSIFILTER in the Trace box on the diagnistics tab.

http://www.4shared.com/file/COzKN-cE/EPG_Collector_V030200_Install_.html

It will create a file called PSI Memory Filter.log in the 'data' directory (for Admin on W7 thats ProgramData -Geekzone - EPG Collector)

Can you upload that file and post the link. As this file could get huge can you keep an eye on it as the collection is running and abandon the collection when it gets to say 100mb. This won't take long.

For some creason with your tuners most of the data being received is being ignored. The dumps you did should have been about 5 times larger than they were.

SJB:

Installed new version - semi working semi not working.

http://homsar.tunaweb.net.nz/epgcollector/

There is a zip file there with the psifilter log and an epg collector.log showing the crash when using BDA and PSIFILTER in the trace line. (Yeah it had a crashtastic time with those variables there)

Though without it (I uploaded a log of it too) in the trace line to see if that was forcing the crash, I ran the collection three times. First time found all stations without crashing, no data, second time found data and made the file, and the third time found not as much data, but still found it, but found another error in the log. Any data it does find is very incomplete (only a few hours, whole channels missing).

Thoughts?
