    Hi all

    I have a very strange problem where my epg data disappears.
    What happens is im watching a program and press any button (ie. ok) and the box restarts, but no crash log file?
    I have been using vix over a year now and im fairly confident i know how to setup epg as i have been doing it for a while now.
    After i reboot the vu+ the box shows the info bar but channel doesn't show and that is on c4. I deleted epg.dat file and it seems to be ok after that. But today once again today box crashed no log files and once it reboot no epg again. Never had this problem before and sorry if it has already been asked.
    Here is the debug file Enigma2-17-09-2014_23-06-05.log
    I have a VU+ Duo2 always updated to the latest Vix build using the default skin.

    Where are you downloading the Epg too for example do you have a hdd/USB installed? There is an issue with memory leak on the duo something I'm not too familiar with but I'm sure other members can explain in more detail but I think you need to set something up to orifice more memory and can't for the life of me remember what is called now...

    I think it's called a swap file, I find that sometimes causes more problems then good. I use to store epg to a converted usb stick until this problem started so atm I am storing it on my hdd

    Yes swap file that's it, have you tried saving Epg to internal memory to see if that makes any difference?

    I used cache flush in the past and found it crashed the box.
    I haven't really had any problems for a while just this epg problem now.

    You should not save EPG to internal memory. USB or HDD.

    Double check that the USB and HDD are mounted correctly.

    You would always use Cross EPG Downloader for 28.2

    ext4 is the file system. My question was as to what the device was mounted as. The Hdd should be /media/hdd

    In Cross EPG downloader, you need to double check where it is saving the epg to.

    Can you change the location in the EPG settings menu?
