EPG missing via openwebif

[Morini]

Apologies for the number of problem posts from me recently. My new setup is *almost* there now, just one more little issue I have run into.

The EPG is appearing fine (complete) when I access "guide" on the receiver, it also appears fine when browsing to the openwebif url and selecting EPG in the menu on the left hand side. However, I noticed that the remote kodi client(s) are all missing large chunks of EPG data. There are a lot of these messages in the kodi log file

Pasting the url into a browser gave me this

Which suggests to me the issue probably isn't on the client side. Any pointers on what I can do to fix this one?

I see the image is not very readable, not sure how to make it bigger?

I guess its not providing the request information correctly or maybe a utf-8 issue - but the epgcache routines are obviously being handled correctly for the normal EPG & webif (which is similar test)

I guess its not providing the request information correctly or maybe a utf-8 issue - but the epgcache routines are obviously being handled correctly for the normal EPG & webif (which is similar test)

From the logs I can see the url's being called and the format looks ok to me. Also it's a bit strange that some channels are showing EPG information while others are not.

I did a bit of manual testing by constructing the http call myself by pulling a couple service ID's from dreamboxedit (replacing the underscores with %3A) and calling the epgservice directly from a web browser

This one fails and gives the error above

ITV4 HD - Service ID 1_0_19_5159_810_2_11A0000_0_0_0

http://[user]:[password]@<ip-ddress>/web/epgservice?sRef=1%3A0%3A19%3A5159%3A810%3A2%3A11A0000%3A0%3A0%3A0

This one works and gives back an xml formatted list of events

QUEST HD - service ID 1_0_19_CD64_844_2_11A0000_0_0_0

http://[user]:[password]@<ip-address>/web/epgservice?sRef=1%3A0%3A19%3ACD64%3A844%3A2%3A11A0000%3A0%3A0%3A0

The client isn't influencing this, so I'm wondering is it an E2 problem or an openwebif problem?

[Huevos]

This should be reported as an issue at OpenWebIf repo.

[Morini]

This would be reported as an issue at OpenWebIf repo.

Ok thanks.

Would this be the correct place to report it https://github.com/oe-alliance/OpenWebif/issues ?

[Huevos]

Yes .

[Huevos]

Please add the attached file and restart the box. Then get debug logs from when the problem occurs.

Goes in:

[Morini]

Do you need the full debug logs or just this bit?

I can provide the full logs if required, but this is the only info I can see that is relevant.

Probably some bad code introduced here?

if hn == 15 and (country is not None and "OpenTV" not in country) and not (hasattr(config.plugins, "icetv") and config.plugins.icetv.enable_epg.value):

Ok, thanks.

Just to feedback, I copied this file to my receiver and it has fixed my issue. The epg on my kodi clients is complete now.

Many thanks!
