Appears to be a challenge to have EPG up and running.

Not sure, but it looks like several EPG services are running at the same time making conflicts. EPG disappear after a time or when zapping.

• XStremity runs fine "alone", using it´s own .db
• EPG-Import, to be used with JediMaker. I recommend to reboot before manual update.
• "Unknown" EPG reads 7 days from TV8, Sjuan or TV4. Works fine with those above.
• EPGrefresh makes conflicts and should be disabled/removed.

• Other "Unknown" EPGs might make conflict or work fine??? Please advice!

Please correct if I am wrong, assume I am.

My EPG for iptv and the satellites was fine for a day or two, but I noticed that my Dreambox2 was hanging every morning after update.

If I try to update manually, first the sound disappear, then the picture hangs and then the Dreambox2 hangs. Working sign stops. Must take the power to reboot.

Even after a reboot and no epg-update, the system hang under shutdown and I had to take the power.

I appears that the epg.dat is corrupt. I can delete it, but the deleted file pops up again in same size from somewhere like a ghost. Either while importing or shutdown. Perhaps delete the file and take the power?

After numerous attempts and hangs, the epg.db was gone. Ran a new manual update and the new initial size was around 12Mb. No major errors in the log. epg.dat is now 25Mb, the corrupt file was 140Mb. The system does not hang any longer on shutdown.

Still no epg for the iptv, it might be there after 15-30 minutes... I hope, but no...

Then try a new manual update again. This time the sound disappear and picture freeze, ftp is working. After some minutes sound and picture is back. Probably some final processing takes too much cpu. Now the epg is back...

Q: Is there a secure way for deleting files (epg.db) so the deleted file does not pop up again?

Q: Is there a command for checking the filesystem on the internal memory if it is corrupt?

Hi,I am using Jedi boquet maker in Uclan Ystym reciever.

It works great,I can se epg for the most of boquets. Fex: Sweden,Norge epg works fine ,but not Danish? And those downloads are from Iptv server.

Other thing, When I download from Jedi epg maker ,it download but not show epg. I am only conected to server.

Before I was conected trough satelite dish and when I download Iptv epg trough Jedi epg it was working ,but now without dish conected,it is not posible to show epg.

I hope you understand my question:)

Thanks

The epg download is a data file that is downloaded via the internet.
It is irrelevant if there is no satelitte connected.

Have you set up epg importer correctly.

Your provider might be using satellite refs, in which case you may need to tick the relevant rytec sources in your epg importer.

When conected to dish Jedi epg (with rytec sourses,and other) Epg was working ,but now when I dont using satelite chanels(no dish conected),when download sources from Jedi epg,it download,but not displaying. I have tryed difrent sources,them from Epg importer,and them from Jedi Epg . I dont understand.

On my receiver it looks like there are four types of EPG:

1. One updated from the dish (TV8, TV4 Guld/Film/Fakta or Sjuan). I don't know the file for this.

2. EPGRefresh, this should be turned off or the EPG imported in "1." will be overwritten.

3. X-Stremity updates /etc/enigma2/xstreamity/epg/iptvworld.nl/epg.xml

4. EPG-Importer updates /etc/enigma2/epg.db

It was working fine a few days ago, but today all EPG was gone. Updated 1, 3 and 4, but iptv was still empty.

I guess something must be corrupt, since it was not possible to reboot from menu after running EPG-Importer. Had to use the switch. Out of memory perhaps?

After a while 15-30 minutes, the EPG was back. --- and gone next day...

As pretty much all complaints of late are about epgs. And there is nothing I can do about 3rd party epgs.

Lets try and summarise some potential fixes. (all menu options below are for openatv - your image will have similar menus)

EPG settings

Set epg data to be saved to external and not internal. IPTV epg is too big for internal memory.

setup > EPG > setup 
20702fab5c40f479cf6be.png

Has your epg data become corrupt. Delete your epg data file either via ftp.

dreambox - /etc/enigma2/epg.db

others - your location as set in the above screenshot "EPG data location"

or via the menus

setup > EPG > Load/Save/Delete EPG data > delete EPG data

EPG importer settings.

setup > EPG > EPG-Importer

Automatic import EPG ... enable

Automatic start time - preferable a morning time - when your box is on and not off or in deep standby.
Start import after booting up - never

Load EPG only services in bouquets - no
Load EPG only for IPTV channels - no
Clear current EPG before import - Yes - I always have this as yes incase something has become corrupt or clashes
Load long descriptions up to X days - if your provider is huge - start low - maybe 3 to 5

Run Jedi once and make sure you select your provider in epg importer sources.
To populate epg before the next auto time - run a manual scan.

Jedi Maker Xtream plugin

Main settings - try increasing the server timeout

Build bouquet - try 'Rebuild XMLTV EPG data' - this is slower but might catch an XML data error.


Lastly - a lot of providers get the offsets on epg wrong. So if you got epg, but its wrong - See ravstars advice on this.
Epg offset tutorial by @ravstar

That is all the advice I can offer at the moment - my plugin is in no state to release any further updates at the moment as I am transitioning between old and new versions.

Oh happy day :redface:

Don´t know exactly what made it work. But follow the instruction above. Had done it several times before...

Changed: Load long descriptions up to X days to 3

Changed: Server timeout to 8

Refreshed the satellites channels via TV8. (This has always worked.)

Ran ManualEPG import

Ate dinner :tongue1:

When I was back, the EPG was there in the bouquets. The UK is not there yet, but there was something about this elsewhere.

You have a Dreambox but what image are you using?

I have Dreambox TWO UltraHD, running Newnigma2-daily 2021-11-28

install this one

I think this is the commands to use (i don't use dreamboxes)

apt-get update
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /tmp/*.deb

Display More

Works perfect! :)

Uploaded the .deb file to /tmp using filezilla

From the FileBrowser I installed the .deb extenson (I saw my dealer did it that way)

Database fixed, still no EPG and lost most sources.

Thanks for the above description, did no see it before I posted this. Will test it soon.

Still the same: EPG for the satellites, but none for iptv.

I was able to remove the epg.db using telnet as described in another tread. But no new was created after several reboots.

Now I thought I could reinstall the plugin "epginstaller" and unloaded it in Packetmanager - this was not a good idea :unhappy:

Anyhow, when I rebooted, the epg.db was there. But most sources was now missing (Rytec). Started a new import, without error messages. But still no EPG showing.

Now I need to put back the plugin "ipk". Years ago I used ipkg install /tmp/xxx.ipk

Seems to be another command or way to install. The ipk file is probably only deleted under boot.

FIXED: As KiddaC wrote it should be a .deb file.

Quote from seagen

Look into your /etc/enigma2 folder and you find a file named epg.db

Just delte the file and reboot your Dreambox.

Then run EPG Import again and all should work just fine :)

Thanks !!! :redface:

That put me on the track. The EPG Import LOG says; database disk image is malformed

This option is missinge: Clearing current EPG before import: Yes

Now I have to find out how to fix the image...

No EPG in favorites/bouquets

Is EPG working for other users?

Where can I find a manual?

(I have found one, but it did not solve the problem)

Not sure what I am doing wrong or if I have missed something.

I have a DB-two and runs XStremety 3.53-20211113. All seems ok here and the EPG shows correctly in XStremity.

[Blue button] EPGImport. Automatic import EPG = on, Load EPG only services in bouquets = on. ... days = 7

[Sources] looks ok.

[Manual] counts 80,000+ events according to selected sources

in [Main Menu]-[Jedi Maker Xtream] I create he Favorites - seems correctly created.

Under plugin I run JediMakerXtremity V6.20

In the bouquet there are EPG info for the satellite, but not IPTV, there is no EPG info while zapping IPTV, but shows on satellite.
