  • CrossEPG on OpenATV - am I going crazy

    I decided to have a look around today as I have found that every so often, I get EPG "overlap", and it's just been bothering me.


    My box is a VU Solo 4K running OpenATV 5.3 that I have updated to today's build (29072016), CrossEPG is 0.8.1+gitr435+d1641ff-r5 from the ATV feeds.
    I also have an Edison OS-Mini on OpenATV, same build numbers.


    Under Setup > EPG > Setting, my EPG location is set to "/media/usb" as I have a 500GB HDD in the box, and a 32GB Kingston also. On the Edison, I've only got the USB, but for consistency I've got it mounted on /media/usb also.


    Now, when I took a look at "/usr/crossepg/crossepg_epgmove.sh", lines 11 to 15 caught my interest.


    Line 13 says: EPGDAT=`cat /etc/enigma2/settings | grep "config\.misc\.epgcache_filename=" | sed "s/config\.misc\.epgcache_filename=//"`


    Now, on both my Solo 4K and the Edison, if I type "cat /etc/enigma2/settings | grep epgcache" the only result I get is:
    config.misc.epgcachepath=/media/usb/


    That obviously doesn't match the grep or the sed of "epgcache_filename", so I carry on through the script....


    else # else default path
    EPGDAT="/hdd/epg.dat"


    Well, my epg.dat isn't *at* HDD, so I've changed it today so line 15 reads EPGDAT="/media/usb/epg.dat"; but I'm wondering if maybe CrossEPG should have been reading epgcachepath instead of epg_filename?


    If it was moving the EPG back to the wrong place, it would explain why my boxes are getting confused.


    Or am I really missing something here?


    Input from the community appreciated

  • QuickZap Channel Numbers - Speed?

    Hello there


    I'm still relatively new to the whole linux-based receivers, but I consider myself fairly computer literate, so can navigate filing systems, use vi etc...


    I've got one small thing that's bugging me, and I can't find an easy or hard way to fix it :p


    Currently running OpenATV 5.3 on my Vu Solo 4K, and all I need to do is slow down the time it waits for a channel number. ("QuickZap"?)


    I use a Possum Environmental control, and it sends the channel numbers slower than a regular remote, so where some people can type "101" really quickly, it takes around 2-3 seconds for each number to be sent, so ideally I need the box to wait a bit longer before it turns over. The amount of times I've put in "110" and ended up with BB1, it's a pain! :(


    Can it be changed, by plugin, editing files, or ???? Please excuse me if it's a really dumb question, but I can't find anything in settings that would reflect this, unless it's got a name in the menu that I'm not understanding.


    Thanks in advance
