Pli & Cross EPG Issues

[catseye]

Can someone upload a working version of Cross EPG to use with open pli images please?

Tried several versions from pli site but none working properly

Open Tv downloads but shows no info

No UK version of XEPGDB or XMLTV providers

Thanks in advance

you should just install crossepg from the plugin menu (green)

First of all have you installed libcurl ?
(from telnet; opkg install curl)
so annoying that PLi still don't include this in the image.

To populate the xml lists you need to press on 'update rytec providers' and 'update xepgdb providers' in the crossepg menu)

Yes m8 done all those with no success
Had a look on pli board & tried one or two versions uploaded in cross epg section but still no good

Im hoping Ian who uses pli images might be able to throw some light on this issue

[saintomer1866]

try deleting your crossepg folder on usb then re-trying
files sometimes get corrupted

I abandoned Cross epg some time ago partially because of problems but mainly because I needed an epg for 27.5 West. So for about a year I have have been using xmltvimport combined with xmltv import-rytec both available in extensions download I have not had any problems, give it a try. If you need more help just shout.

Thanks m8 will investigate

Annoying thing is Cross epg works fine on black hole & other images so cant understand why it cant be made to work as it used to with pli??

Its got to be one of the most well used e2 plugins & has been around for years

[catseye]

I've uploaded some screenshots of what's showing on screen of box

The downloads panel of open pli lists 2 versions of cross epg to download & install

Both have same problem using vu duo 1 & vu zero boxes

It appears that there are parts of the files missing (as shown in pics 1 & 2)

This has come to light since reflashing the software on both boxes yesterday

Can anyone advise on this?

[dOOds]

Try this version bud........(Same looking as 0.8 also)

Also if u click the older version to install on the pli feeds it will still install the newer version..

[saintomer1866]

looks like a crossepg problem at the mo
cannot retieve rytec sources
and my fully populated xepgdb has just shrunk to 4, in the interest of helping ;(

opentv is working ok though

[nml]

There has been a problem with rytec sources, I found this when I had a problem with epg import and it is still working for me it goes in /etc/epgimport but of course it will be .different for Cross epg. However you may be able to use it.

use opentv for source...

[catseye]

use opentv for source...

This downloads & goes through the motions so to speak but when i click epg on box it lists only a limited amount of info

for example just the BBC channels

[dOOds]

Some might have moved today or before come to think of it..Ie...ID ect??

[digicon]

Try this worked for me earlier not my work from another community instructions inside, Rytec back working but still no joy for XEPGDB

[catseye]

Thanks for suggestions guys

Can I ask is there a way to get opentv to download the data correctly instead of a few selective channels as per the screenshot??

I get a full list with opentv, not sure what you can be doing wrong.

Strange thing is opentv works fine on vu duo 2/pli which hasn't been reflashed recently

The other boxes vu duo 1 & vu zero both were reflashed on Monday night & its those two that I cant get opentv to work properly

That is it downloads (rather quickly) & shows data as per the previous screenshot

[catseye]

Try this version bud........(Same looking as 0.8 also)

Also if u click the older version to install on the pli feeds it will still install the newer version..

Ive got opentv working ok now on vu zero just need to sort out vu duo!

[techmate]

this worked for me on blk hole 2.1.5 on my vu+duo2 crossEPG 0.8.1

Still having problems with Open TV & Vu duo (mark 1) using latest pli image

Ive reflashed again today & deleted all traces of cross epg from HDD etc

When I select download I get following error message

Anyone have any clues on this one??

[techmate]

I use a memory stick for epg
I have it configured to usb in the panel
never tried with hard drive.
wonder if that's your problem.

Tried using the usb stick instead of HDD
Still the same issue
Checked the usb stick is mounted ok & working fine
So back to scratching head again:beatdeadhorse5:

[saintomer1866]

looking at your earlier screenshot that is just showing the freesat epg
so as this is a new install have you once again added libcurl as without it it just wont work

Yes bud added just after the fresh install of image

Cross epg was added from here instead of pli downloads

what does it say in cross EPG 0.8.1 PANEL
in configure what does it say in storage device usb stick ?
next have you gone to update rytec providers
also have you ticked the providers in XMLTV providers that you use and saved.before download
rg tm

Yes gives option of using Cruzer USB stick
Both rytec & other providers are updated prior to downloading open tv
Yes have ticked boxes saved & rebooted box to be sure
As saint mentioned earlier its only downloading freesat data for some strange reason
I will have another look tomorrow

Thanks to those whom have contributed

[saintomer1866]

no its not downloading the freesat data that's being done by you going on a freesat channel not by crossepg
I'm using 0.8.1 dl from pli addons and opentv is working fine
no need to update rytec or xepgdb providers as this is dl from sat not web
check for a software update (menu/setup)

[catseye]

Im finally pleased to announce Ive fixed this problem at long last:respect-059:

After several attempts to resolve I decided to remove the HDD from inside the box (Hitachi Deskstar 500gb)

Reflashed in pli & updated as usual

& low & behold open tv downloads & works as it should-with data going to the usb stick

Im confused as to why the HDD would stop open tv from downloading
I even formatted it to resolve, which had no effect on the problem

Anyway all sorted now!

On the Duo2 and the Solo SE I have updated the crossepg_rytec_update.py and the crossepg_rytec_update.pyo files into:-

DCC E2 /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/CrossEPG/

Rytec updates perfectly, however does anyone have the xpdgdb version as that has only 4 updates now working.

Thanks
