EPG different in different screens

    Hi, can anyone explain why I get different results for EPG in different screens but only for some channels as per BBC 2 below. Happening on both openatv 7.3 and 7.4 on a vu+ solo4k

    screen 1 shows pressing ok button returns incorrect epg data

    screen 2 pressing epg button shows it correct at the top but then wrong at the bottom

    pressing ok button also shows 2 descriptions

    yes, because with my skins, the epgs will be from epg importer.

    The infobar epg will show epg importer first and then if available this then gets replaced with the satellite feed epg info.


    q-infobar.xml


    Code
    <widget source="session.Event_Now" render="RunningText" options="movetype=running,startpoint=0,direction=top,steptime=80,repeat=0,always=0,oneshot=0,startdelay=6000,wrap" position="806,822" size="762,189" font="Regular;33" foregroundColor="white" backgroundColor="blackglass" valign="top" transparent="1" zPosition="1">
            <convert type="EventName">ExtendedDescription</convert>
</widget>

    Other options you can have in the info bar.


    short description

    <convert type="EventName">Description</convert>


    short description

    <convert type="EventName">ShortDescription</convert>


    Extended

    <convert type="EventName">ExtendedDescription</convert>

    Full
    <convert type="EventName">FullDescription</convert>

    ok I just run a little experiment on this.

    Top - description

    2nd top - short

    3rd - full

    4th extended

    red - (second infobar or event view) using name="epg_importer"

    full and extended seem to show the same


    but...


    on openatv github the code is this


    Code
        elif self.type == self.EXTENDED_DESCRIPTION:
            return self.trimText(event.getExtendedDescription() or event.getShortDescription())
        elif self.type == self.FULL_DESCRIPTION:
            return self.formatDescription(event.getShortDescription(), event.getExtendedDescription())

    but... if you wait long enough on the channel, say about 30 seconds.

    They all change to the sky epg version

    now this used to happen almost instantly. Why is there such a delay now???

    When I cleared the egg and refreshed egg import then the first time going into bbc 2 it was correct but in a short space of time it changed to what you see. Don't know if this helps.

    just looking a metrix hd code. They use extendeddescription the same as me for infobar.

    But as we all know openatv like to faff. So I have answered your question. But I do think something has changed since I last paid any attention to epg data.
