  • I am running openvix latest image on Edision mini. Crossepg takes ages for example yesterday it was more than 1 hour and had to restart because it froze. It seems parsing takes forever.

    I have standard broadband.

    No matter what device I save to it seems it fails.

    I looked in the log and there are references to failed parsing tmp files like this one

    Failed to parse /media/hdd/crossepg/crossepg.tmp.3oUYt1 for new events!

    When people say CrossEPG, they never say what in CrossEPG downloader they enabled.


    Depending on image, you should be able to select where the EPG is saved.


    A setup to consider....

    Use CrossEPG (OpenTV 28.2) for Sky UK

    For Internet "gathering", i.e RyTec EPg data, don't use CrossEPG, use EPG/XMLTV importer instead

    Do not use two source for the same provider. I.e do not use Cross and Rytec for Sky together.


    On OpenVix, the methodology is to do things one by one. This is why Cross takes forever for internet stuff. You then lose control of your box until it has finished. The version of CrossEPG downloader used by OE-A images, is partly coded by AndyBlac so it will do one thing at a time too.

  • You shouldnt need a swap file on that box but sound like your flash getting full. Saving EPG to USB???

    No. I have plenty of memory, 285 mb on flash. Also 480 gb on ext HDD I also tried on USB flash with 6 gb free.
