Crossepg is not loading after box restart

Box Vu Solo 4k, OpenAtv

I am using crossepg 0.8.2

configration..................

storage = hd

csv import = no

Force epg reload on boot = yes

once a day

openTV provider = sky uk

XmlTV provider = virmin

a lot of time after enigma gui restart or complete reboot epg do not load on channels list.

i am seeing this issue from last 5 years and yet no solid answer

can some one have advise?

It should be reload 100% all the time after box start......

why do it miss?

is there any script to reload which run automatically after restart box to make sure that epg is loaded?

please advise

It is original Vu solo 4K

Yes I have active line.

Crossepg or xmlImport was also missing on restart or reboot in old days when I use to have DM8000HD or Vu Duo

My cousin have Vu duo 2 with Vix image and he got same issue

abu baniaz,

the only issue what i see to get epg via Timer( VM Preview and selce to Zap only )

I do not get even 5 days epg and some of channels even dont get epg.

Our biggest issue is Kids too many planned recordings.

also

I am still using sly uk for international(asian) channels. as sly still got too many FTP channels.

and I can not get Timer to zap any sly channel to grab 5 or 7 days epg.

if I use epgimport with jensen 14 days epg

I am only getting 7 dyas VM and sly uk missing epg of many channels so I am stuck.

I got usb mount also with hdd.

do you thing I need to use usb ofr crossepg or epgimport and epg via timer ?

I thought that I can tell the box some how to save epg and upload epg during start up?

Options for you to consider.

1.

Forget CrossEPG downloader. Uninstall it if you can't get it out of your head.

Use EPG importer plugin alone.

2.

Use OpenTV epg only for CrossEPG. i.e DO NOT use any Rytec/XMLTV sources

Select/tune/zap to VM preview channel daily for two minutes. You can automate the zapping by use of EPG refresh plugin

Note: EPG refresh is just a clever zapper.

The only image that seems to work fine with CrossEPG and Rytec is Blackhole.

Select/tune/zap to VM preview channel daily for two minutes

this do not give fully 5-7days epg, many channels missed out epg

Also can it work with sly uk 28.2e ?

if yes then which channel need to zap to get epg?

jokosat

is this a jok?

you did not read the issue I am facing lol

crossepg is giving 7-10 days epg but epg do not load back after resart

epgimport for sly uk 28.2e do not get full 5 days epg.

via only Simple timer

Sly Uk 28.2e are ot getting epg

VM are getting epg via vm preview channels but only 1-3 days epg and many channel no epg also.

do you get that?

Quote from abu baniaz

You are making incorrect assumptions.

EPG is one thing.

CrossEPG downloader is another thing

EPG importer is another thing.

Absorbing EPG from the signal stream is another thing.

Jensens's provider file is another thing

Your problem is that you do not have EPG after restart. Saying CrossEPG does not load after restart does not make sense.

I have posted the solution for you. Which do you want to use?

which image is good for epg to work well for vu solo 4k?

I got your solution abu baniaz,

zap epg from vm preview chanel

which sly uk channel do I need to zap for 28.2e epg?

I am not using epgimporter alone........ so Option one is not in use in my case.

Q1

Answer

by doing above as I mention, I d,nt get epg at all for VM

it all sorted as My IPTV epg was causing the issue. soon I remove IPTV from epgimport, all goes very well
