What I don't understand is that when I reinstall everything, everything works fine at first. But as soon as I do a new EPG import, everything is gone again.

there is an option called "Clearing current EPG before import", I keep that as No - in EPG Import Configuration

that helped me out in a similar issue

That should not make any difference epg.dat file should still be saved but if epg.dat is corrupted then it can help.

Thank you very much - to save space I store everything on my QNAP NAS server.

What I don't understand is that when I reinstall everything, everything works fine at first. But as soon as I do a new EPG import, everything is gone again.

I've been working on the DB for five weeks now and it's starting to get on my nerves. I've never had any problems with my Vu+ in the last ten years.

The DB is actually completely set up, the only thing missing are the EPGs - which have been getting on my nerves for three days now.

Nevertheless, I have to say that BMX and Jedi X are great plugins. :)

Edit: Sorry, I have this with Xklass and Xstreamity on NAS servers. Can I set this up somewhere else? In the EGP import there is no function for selecting storage in the menu.

you said epg import has no fuction to set where to save epg that is done in epg settings remember some do not even use epgimport but epg storage device still has to be set for satellite e.t.c.
on openatv it is in Menu > Setup > EPG > EPG Setings

Thanks for your help. I don't think there is any dat on the new DB Two, only .db. For me, delete is also set to no. But what can I do? I've already reinstalled everything twice :(

I use NN2 and I don't think this setting exists there. There is epgbackup from gutemine where you can set it up but I don't want any plugins from gutemine

I dont know I don't have a dreambox or nn2 but i would still think there would be somewhere to set epg. out of interest do you have multiboot can you not just try openatv on another slot. or hopefully someone who uses that image can help.

Edit:
just read on NN2 there is Epg CacheSelector plugin not sure if still available i was reading an old post

I don't have a multiboot and I don't like ATV :) The epg.db is 24,621,055. The EPG is really driving me crazy, I can't reinstall the box every day to make it work. Thanks anyway.

Maybe someone else will get in touch, otherwise all the plugins will be removed and I'll only watch via Xklass. I'm also thinking about selling the new DB again, just the trouble with the stupid box. With the Vu everything is easier and everything is much, much faster. I'm never getting a DB in my house again.

Reinstalled EPG again, EPG is running, pressed epg import and everything disappeared again. I have never come across such a crappy box as the DB. Now I'm selling this crap and buying a second Vu.

I keep saying this... I am trying to finish off all my jobs... and finally move away from my enigma2 work.
But this plugin was designed very quickly as proof of concept. It was never meant to be popular. But JEX is one of my most downloaded plugins.
So I might,.... quote "might", write a proper version of this plugin with a bit more functionality and ease of use.

Never say never.

Yes ,as far as I can see it is a godsend to some who do not have any epg from provider and even if they do jex can fill in the ones that are missing ,

for me personally I use it for just say xxx so only realy using one source even though there are lots.

So i disable ones I do not need but as you will know when i flash online with restore settings when jex installs it adds all the sources again so I use myrestore.sh to add the only ones i need back

rm -rf /etc/enigma2/jediepgxtream/*.txt > /dev/null 2>&1

rm -rf /etc/enigma2/jediepgxtream/*/*.txt > /dev/null 2>&1

tar -xvzf /media/hdd/backup_openatv_gbquad4k/enigma2settingsbackup.tar.gz etc/enigma2/jediepgxtream/ -C /

sleep 5

So I don't know if there is any other way around this if when it installs as to not add all sources if jediepgxtream folder is already

present in /etc/enigma2/

You mentioned gutemine on a previous post. If you have ever installed the gutemine virus on your box, he/she/it deletes files from other peoples plugins.
You have 2 choices. Use gutemine stuff only and no other 3rd party plugins or completely reflash your box and never install anything from gutemine and then use any plugins you like without fear of files being deleted or plugin code being tampered with.

I don't have a dreambox, and seagen who used to be my helper for dreambox issues is no longer on the forum. So I am not much help to you.

Hello,

thank you very much for the detailed answer. Maybe you misunderstood me. I do NOT have any plugins from gutemine, and I do NOT want any time bombs on my DB.

I have found the error. Here is the solution, maybe this doesn't happen to professionals, but I've only been using IPTV for 5 weeks and when you have little experience with it, funny things happen.

If you install BMX, the instructions say that you have to tick the box for epgimporter under BouquetMakerXtream. If you now also install JediEPG Importer, it also says that you have to tick Jedi EPG.

I have tested a lot and it took me 3 days of work. If you install both plugins, tick ONLY Jedi EPG, NOT BouquetMakerXtream. I have tested it several times, if both plugins are ticked, all EPGs disappear after the restart.

So if you have a DB Two with NN2, ONLY tick Jedi EPG, then it will work without problems. I think this will help beginners who have little experience with IPTV.

Thanks to kidacc for the great plugins he makes, and I will certainly donate something.

But that should not be happening you should be able to select iptv providers from BouquetMakerXtream, xstreamity, xklass and Jedi epg xtream.

in epgimporter.

I do and my epg is not deleted.

You have a different box and a different image. Xklass, Xstreamity has always run without problems with EPG. I've tested it X times, always the same problem, and my box is freshly installed, it's only 5 weeks old, and I've only recently set it up. Anyway, if anyone has the same problem with DB Two and NN2, they can try my solution.

BouquetMakerXtream Source is your providers EPG data.

I understand the function of BouquetMakerXtream, I was also surprised that it doesn't work. But I thought if it works in Xclass and Xstreamity it must also work in BMX, but it doesn't.

o I will make the assumption your iptv providers EPG is huge, which is maybe causing memory problems.

You're probably right, my provider has almost 40,000 TV channels. In BMX I have about 1,500.

I set EPGImport to automatically import the EPG every day at 7:00 a.m. This morning 6145 events were imported again, but unfortunately all EPG data is now gone again. I am starting to despair.

I am downloading 283703 events and my epg.dat file is not deleated but as KiddaC mentioned could be memory problems as to where epg.dat is getting saved.

Capture.PNG

For me, today at 7:00 there were 25132 events. I also only have one provider and don't need more. I would also like to outsource my epg.db to my NAS, but all the forums say that it is not possible with the DB Two and it also has enough storage space.
