Epg causes logo infinite loop

[nardeeno33]

Cable vermin epg is set up to update once a day. After few minutes vix logo comes on spinning for ages in left upper corner thus unable to change channel etc. What can this be caused by? After full factory reset, hdd initialisation nothing happens, only after downloading and loading epg. Thanks

[Andy_Hazza]

what receiver you got?

Can you specify what settings you are using for EPG please? Also what image (Build name and number)

[nardeeno33]

Miraclebox premium mini hd, apollo 62, epg settings daily update, xmltv provider cross epg vermin cable

[abu baniaz]

Cant help you with that setup. Hope somene else can.

In the mean time , have a look at this

[nardeeno33]

I'll try that thanks

[nardeeno33]

Did fresh install of 70 built, initialisation of hdd and pvr epg as you said and getting spinning logo again :( don't know what else could it be?

Why have you started a second thread on this? You have one with some responses here - http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?41591-Epg-causes-logo-infinite-loop

[nardeeno33]

Because at first I thought it is epg related so I asked in epg section, but it might be miraclebox related therefore I tried miraclebox section, or it might be image specific so I asked in image support

[Joe_90]

Can you set up a debug log and post the contents here?

[judge]

What time of the day are you updating EPG?
Are you using any other EPG sources?
What size is your EPG DB? Menu -> Setup -> System -> EPG -> CrossEPG -> Info about database.
Also, as fat-tony points out, a debug log could be handy with your issue here,
Menu -> Setup -> System -> Logs -> Settings -> Enable debug logs = yes.
Do an E2 or box restart to enable.

Where are you saving your EPG?

What is the L value of your mg_cfg?

[nardeeno33]

Just hdd, epg to hdd, where to look for L value? Thanks

[abu baniaz]

Post a screenshot of your EPG settings please. To get screen shot, paste following in your web broweser after changing x so that it makes IP of your receiver.
http://192.168.x.xx/grab?format=jpg


Look at your mg_cfg file for the line that has
L: { XX }

[Joe_90]

Just hdd, epg to hdd, where to look for L value? Thanks

According to your log you are saving EPG to box flash, not HDD.

[nardeeno33]

[nardeeno33]

According to your log you are saving EPG to box flash, not HDD.
Yes you're right, just changed it to hdd, my fault, been trying different images and forgot to set it up, been having same issues on hdd before anyway. Thanks

[nardeeno33]

Screenshot attached

[nardeeno33]

Just changed set up to cross epg from pvr_epg, will report if things improve, thanks

[abu baniaz]

Change this to

L: { 03 } 172.16.1.1 28007 /tmp/mgcamd.log

to

L: { 00 }

Otherwise you will end up DDOS yourself

[abu baniaz]

You should also enable the Virgin EPG in your EPG settings.

[nardeeno33]

Where will I find file to change values to L 00? Thanks

[abu baniaz]

Navigate to usr/keys/
Right click the file and edit it.

[nardeeno33]

I did that, but can't find those values inside it.

[abu baniaz]

Line 87 of the file you uploaded.

What programs are you using to ftp to your receiver?
What text editor are you using? If you are usings Windows notepad, use a linux compatible one like Notepd++

[nardeeno33]

Thanks I got it now

[nardeeno33]

new debug file

Posted new one, just got about 15 minutes of spinning logo, does it look like epgc scanning? How do I disable it? Thanks

I have set it up to update daily at 3am not now at 9 pm...

[abu baniaz]

Please ignore. Details came.

(three posts merged)

[nardeeno33]

anyone please?
