CrossEPG no longer updating all channels

[tolmie]

As per above my cross epg doesnt seem to be working properly, the only channels with any info populated is sky movies, bbc hd and rest empty, i was using usb stick and stopped working, went to just use on board mem and still no joy, tried doing crossepg downloader and updating providers, still no joy.

Using latest vix image

went to just use on board mem and still no joy

What do you mean by this? Changing the location in the settings menu?

Try putting the location to /media/usb/ and ensure that no other epg.dat exists in the flash or in the /media/hdd/ locations. Reeboot and then try a manual download again.

Try formatting your USB stick again in FAT32 and try it again..

It's probably best if you find and delete all instances of the epg.dat file and then re-download the EPG just incase it has become corrupted.

remember though you will need to initiate a telnet session then use the init4 command before deleting the epg.dat files ( this kills enigma ) then use the init3 command to reawaken enigma once the files have been deleted otherwise they will be re-written from the live memory.

Right for some reason it keeps putting crossepg on my nas even tho the location is set to /media/usb/ why is this happening

[tolmie]

everytime I try and mount the usb drive it crashes ,part of error, no space left on device \etc\fstab.tmp

[tolmie]

For whatever reason, even tho i have told the solo box to use \media\usb it persists on using my nas, all items now populated but would rather be using my usb stick, doesnt want to mount the usb drive tho and crashes if I suggest it.

Having problems again, was working fine for a while on latest vix image, got it set yo usb pen drive, downloads gets to parsing and then always just stays half way through that, how do I delete the epg from flash memory as it had jumped to that before I changed back to usb.

[rossi2000]

it could be in /usr/crossepg or /etc/enigma2

[tolmie]

Magic, take it theres probably a DAT file to delete then, i'll try that.

[tolmie]

ok deleted the dat file and same issue, gets to parsing and eventually stops arrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Rob van der Does]

ok deleted the dat file and same issue, ....

Did you stop Enigma2 before deleting the .dat-file (telnet 'init 4')? Otherwise the data remains there.

Ive now noticed that only freeview channels have any epg data, sky ch dont, ive never touched the providers so dont understand that, will come back later with the providers iv selected.
