cross epg with alias list for VM cable

Some of my channels not populating, Ive actually edited the Alias file and uploaded it to my own github and pointed update.py to my github to check if that helped and still doesnt seem to be populating certain channels, anyone got any ideas?

What channels ? Some are not on sat, like Love Nature.....

pauldb and i normally keep on top of the alias file, it is updated a few times a week.

If there is any issues with the alias then please create a pull request on github, we all benefit then

Make sure you have updated your ABM provider files and run that again, if your still missing data try a full scan of 28.2

delete your current epg data, there is an option to do so under the "script " options of crossepg

Then download again

GOLD was one of them, ComedyCentral was another, channels that seem to grab the 28.2E EPG fine but doesnt seem to transfer over to Virmin. Will try what you said above and report back, Thank you

Are you sure the sat channels haven't changed frequency ?

I done a full scan before hand mate.

Is this still working with ATV 6.4 ?

Seems to be failing in line 14 of the alias.py when trying to import crossepg

Its very possible that ATV have broken the alias.py because crossepg is no longer recognised by the os

Will have to try to find time to look, but for me at least using the very latest ATV 6.4 after a clean reflash, this is now broken.

Yes this

ImportError: No module named crossepg

I will have to look into it and try to establish what's going on if its working for you. Might not be worth it anyway though if we are to lose Vermin in a week or two.

I had to install xz into the image to even get CrossEPG to parse Rytec files, not good from a clean image install, I think image builds do differ though from box to box. Curl was missing too as was lxml and mechanize is now a bare bones version on their feeds, just enough to get Mediaportal to work I think, so I also had to source a full version of that too. Then I find that they've actually added code to the httplib.py to trigger a bloody crash if a plugin calls a url using control characters. A typical example is the EPG Translator plugin when it tries to translate Eastern European languages. So I promptly removed that code too.

I'm not happy with ATV 6.4 at all.

EDIT: Just ran it from telnet. Same error.

root@vusolo4k:/usr/crossepg/scripts/virgin# python alias.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "alias.py", line 14, in <module>

import crossepg

ImportError: No module named crossepg

This error completely baffles me because CrossEPG is installed and now working on everything else after installing xz

Just for info I've now fixed this, and the alias.py is now working again. ( For about a week till we lose Vermin )

Cant believe just how much I've had to fix in the latest ATV 6.4 image. Wish I'd stayed on 6.3 now lol

EDIT: Looks like ATV have dropped 6.4 now and have started on 6.5 because of all the issues. But I do think I've fixed most if not all of them now though.
