Crossepg crashes on "Loading"

[Rob van der Does]

As has been explained many times: epg.dat is only written on stopping E2 and read on starting E2. As long as E2 is alive all epg-data is in RAM.
So what you see is expected behaviour.
You can also force epg.dat to be written by saving manually via the EPG-menu.

a swap file should not be needed for use with a TM-2T as it already has more than sufficient flash, in fact using a swap file when not needed can even slow the receiver down rather than speeding it up.

I will be re-flashing my TM's tomorrow sometime and i'll post back if i have any problems but barring the infamous recordings issue my TM's work really well and have never had a issue with CrossEPG using a internal HDD or mounted USB stick.

Thanks Pheonix, will look forward to your response

well last night I copied an epg.dat file from tm-2t upstairs, I then downloaded each Provider manually individually using yellow button, all epg populated. Brilliant, even after having to do a hard reset earlier (tm-2t trying to access a recording, comes up -1036 minutes problem) and on reboot epg was still there, tonight I have downloaded epg again using extension blue button and everything has worked great.

Looks as if problem is resolved.

If I can get PTS and recording problems fixed I will be laughing, cheers everybody

well i setup my Twin and 2T on build 688 with the usual configuration. ( CCcam 2.2.1, OnDemand and thats about it ) and all is working fine including the EPG ( still a few issues with recordings though but there down to the TM drivers ).

it must have thrown a little wobbly with regards to EPG, the recording problem is quite bad, the wife wants me to start using sly again as everytime she goes to put on her emmerdale or whatever, spinning vix appears, numbers of length of program go huge numbers, and then a message comes up about a message about transponder pat, movie then plays but is unwatchable and then box comes up with error. Hard reset the machine and then boom works without error perfect viewing... anyway I digress and this is way off topic, apologies about that
