Kia ora folks,

My EPG Collector has stopped gathering much data. Most channels have run out and TV1, 2, 3 Duke, Rush, Eden run out on Saturday. EPG Collector reports only 460 programs collected, and most channels as ** No data received **.

Log from the last run here:

15:30:18:417 Stopping station reader for frequency 594 MHz15:30:18:457 Buffer - Pastebin.com

Updated to the latest FP (31) but didn't help.

Anyone else seeing any issues?

Cheers,

Rhys

fwiw, I downloaded the latest epgcollector (in case it addressed any issue).

I note that today I now have other channels in friday, but not the rest of the week.. it's almost like the feature can only pick up the current day data? because earlier in the week we couldn't see friday(today) either.

I'm using Mediaportal for my needs, and it turns out that things have changed a bit since I set mine up some years ago.. and it worked fine, till it didn't

all sored mow by following the full (latest) installer instructions on the mediaportal forum.

the main issue was I was still using MHEG5 and these days it shoul be set to EIT.

instructions were here:

Thanks guys. EPG up and running again. It looks like I'm way behind the times, didn't realise we'd gone back to EIT. The MediaPortal machine was built exactly three years ago and hasn't been touch since. Which I guess is testament to just how stable it is. Now I'm going to tempt fate by upgrading to the latest MP1 version...

You may not need EPG Collector. I believe MP has EIT collection built in.

EIT is the official EPG for new Freeview DVB-T devices, but MHEG5 is still fully supported so older devices will keep working. Last time I checked, the MHEG5 EPG data was still slightly better than the EIT data, but that was months ago.
