404 not found when trying to download rytecxmltv-UK.gz

[divil_a_bit]

My GB Quad+ gets it's EPG data from here:
http://www.vuplus-community.net/rytec/rytecxmltv-UK.gz
This has worked for months without any issues.
However, I noticed this morning that the EPG was missing from my Quad+.

When I try to download http://www.vuplus-community.net/rytec/rytecxmltv-UK.gz in a browser, I'm getting 404.

Any ideas?

I'm having same issues

The Vu-Plus community would be best placed to answer.

At a guess, they have moved on to the .xz format.

what does that mean??
do we have to do something to load them?? cross epg is the same as well
what other epg is any good?

1.
You are trying to download something from "http://www.vuplus-community.net" and cant find it. Why ask here, we wouldn't know? Ask there.

2.
The.gz files will being dropped from 01/01/2018. I am guessing they stopped uploading those files and expect people to use the newer files. Once again, I am guessing and could be wrong.

3.
EPG Importer and CrossEPG downloader have been updated to use the newer files

Actually, you need to change what you are downloading. The channels are being split into groups.

Is there a plug-in I can update? I don't want to update everything

[abu baniaz]

EPG Importer

The Abu

I'be tried it and its till not working - it's still pointing at the gz file.

I ran this first to see what version of epgimport I'm using

opkg list-installed | grep -i epg
enigma2-plugin-extensions-epgimport - 1.0+git134+8229b27-r33.4

Then I ran this to upgrade

 opkg upgrade enigma2-plugin-extensions-epgimport

And here's confirmation that the upgrade work

root@gbquadplus:~# opkg list-installed | grep -i epg
enigma2-plugin-extensions-epgimport - 1.0+git169+6036128-r36

Then I rebooted and I'm seeing the same problem

Has anyone figured out how to fix this without upgrading the entire image?

Update: I also tried to update my rytrec providers and that's failing

[abu baniaz]

You will need to ensure you have python-lzma and python-pkgutil added to your image.

The changelog for the plugin is here
https://github.com/oe-alliance/XMLTV...commits/master

BTW
The old type of files used for Rytec files will stop on 1st of January

[abu baniaz]

I do hope Gigablue fix their drivers so people can use newer images

[abu baniaz]

You can try this

opkg update && opkg install libc6 python-compression python-lzma

wget -O /tmp/enigma2-plugin-extensions-epgimport_1.0+git169+6036129-r36_all.ipk http://egami-feed.com/plugins/plugins/enigma2-plugin-extensions-epgimport_1.0+git169+6036129-r36_all.ipk && opkg install --force-overwrite /tmp/enigma2-plugin-extensions-epgimport_1.0+git169+6036129-r36_all.ipk

Thanks Abu for all your help
I can see what you're suggesting however I don't think my problem is decompressing the new format (yet).
My image is still point at the old gz file.
I need to point at the new egp files (where ever that are)

I also tried to update my rytrec providers and that's failing ... does that give any clues?


(I will still probably need you suggestions afterwards)

The new EPG import should have the new sources.

EPG importer is still pointing at the old gz file
Also, when I try to update the Rytec sources, it fails
