crossepg hangs

[kota]

Hi

I've got my crossepg configured as per echelon recommended settings on my Solo2 and I only download it whenever STV HD epg disappears which happened again yesterday like it normally does every week or so.

Started downloading but it hangs when the radio channel is visible saying parsing summaries 13.32 MB of 13.32 MB, leaving this info on the screen without moving on.

I've deleted the epg.dat file from the usb stick but that didn't help. Mind you I' m using the latest BH image and it worked fine as usual upon flashing some time ago.

Could someone please try and check if it's a problem with the rytec server ??

Cheers

Maybe someone can figure this out. I surely can't.

EPG's disappear when they reach the end of their due date which is as you indicate around 7 days unless you intervene and change the parameters in setup.

CrossEPG hangs on me also when trying to use opentv providers as oposed to rytec ones even though in the past it has worked (or not) the other way around. I think it may have a lot to do with who is or is not doing the updates. OpenTV used to be my preference and worked ok for me on UK but never worked for ITA for some odd reason but then I think I only tried a couple of times and gave up on it.

Now I just use all rytec for what I want and it works OK but seems to be missing spain at the moment and sometimes Italy also. Again I think this is down to the updater. CrossEPG always was and is a bit hit and miss sometimes but at least, at the moment, it does not hang on either of my E2 boxes.

I'll try resetting the configuration without the opentv providers and see how it goes.

Cheers m8

EDIT: sorted !! It worked just fine after removing the opentv providers. While at it I added the rytec XMLTV providers for Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Poland and although it took forever to download the full channels EPG is now present !!

Thanks again :respect-055:
