Stuck on Parsing Sumaries... Quad

[dfdream]

Hi just setting up crossepg on my quad and having a bad time of it.

It runs all the way to the end and stops on completing Parsing Summaries.

Then a popup says timeshift not possible and then service unavailable error appears and the Parsing Summaries disappears .

The channel doesn't change.

But when I go back to the EPG its totally blank.

Sometimes the epg.dat file isn't even created where it should be.

I deleted it several times with the init 4 and intit 3 and no difference.

I even put to init 4 and copied epg.dat from DUO and epg was fine but gone or empty on reboot.

Don't know whats happening my epg.... ANYONE....

This might help...

Have you tried a service scan on the satellite you're importing from? Have you also removed the crossepg folder as well as epg.dat when doing init 4/3?

I knew I forgot to mention something.
I did a full 28.2 scan.
Deleted the crossepg folder too.
Have autobouquetmaker running too.

The issue seems to be writing the epg.dat.
When crossepg is finished does it write to the epg.dat file...

No, I don't believe it does write the epg.dat file... What happens is, it loads the epg data in to the live epg system. Then, when you restart e2, restart your box, shutdown etc, it writes the epg data to epg.dat

Even when I copied the epg.dat from the DUO that had all the epg and saved it it still was empty on reboot...

That would be because if you just copied it over and then restarted, it wouldn't have loaded the data, so overwrote the epg.dat you copied with the empty epg data.

You would need to init 4, copy the epg.dat over, then init 3, or copy the epg.dat over, and go to the epg menu and choose to load the epg data...

I will start again.
Init 4
copy epg.dat from duo to usb of quad
init 3
after restart epg is fine but epg.dat file is gone from the USB.

I then go into save the epg data but no file gets created in USB.
Don't know where the epg.dat file is gone.
On reboot the epg is empty.

Whats happening the epg.dat file might explain why the crossepg fails at the end, it cant find the file...

I initialised the USB and HDD and reflashed the QUAD with 723 again.
No restore of settings or plugins. Did 28.2 full scan.
The CrossEPG is still the same. It goes all the steps but the epg doesn't populate.
The sumaries are between 13-15mb but epg.dat is only 468kb.
If I init4 and copy another epg.dat from DUO and init 3 the epg loads fine but as its loading the epg.dat changes to epg.dat.loading (in usb drive) and then disappears. WTF is making it disappear.

Are all your tuners set correctly? You have 3 sat and one Trstr? Could configuration affect Cross? Maybe try just two Sat?

Do you mean disable tuners or remove them...
Seems a bit radical...

Disable. May be no point - think you know more than I do but I have dffs on my Duo if one of the tuners is tied up on recording - stops before epg process completes.

Bubbleballs what version of vix are you using.
Maybe the issue is to do with a fresh flash of 723 (I also did online update to I think 727 and the same result.)
Should I try an older version 717-720.
There seems to be lots of changes from 720.
Is there any other image that has crossepg built in that I could test.

Have you enabled debug logs? Can you post them? Have you got the log from crossepg? Can you upload that?

[BubbleBalls]

I'm on 726. Never issues with cross and have nightly DL. Your previous issue with network - could be related here? If all info has not downloaded fully the parsing cannot complete. Just a thought - debug logs will let the experts see what's going on. Hope you get sorted - too damn unlucky to get two faulty boxes.

I returned that box and WOS sent on a replacement.
Had zero network issues with the replacement.
I will upload the crossepg log and see if it helps.
