EPG data not being saved

[steve Kiwi]

Using DVBViewer 4.0 together with MYXMLTV.

To get 7 days of info displayed. I have to....

Open EPG window in "DVBViewer".

Open "MYXMLTV"

Click IMPORT

Wait for MYXMLTV to finish.

I know have a 7 day epg

 

 

If I close DVBViewer I lose almost all my EPG Data, only leaving a few hours displayed.

 

Tried auto import xmltv (Xepg) with same result.

 

 

Any help please.

In Settings>Options>EPG do you have "Persistent EPG data" selected?

...AFAIU you have to check also "Do Not Receive EPG Data", otherwise your imported EPG data will be overwritten from those belonging from your DVB card...

No this won't delete data. If there is really 7 day data from XMLTV it should be saved. (BTW. please check your systemtime/date of the PC this could also cause problems).

 

Please check: Import the xml data, close the DVBViewer and go start -> programs -> DVBViewer program group -> userdata folder. In the following explorer window search for the epg.dat file and check it's size. If it's around 10 byte nothing is saved at all.

I don't have either, my epg.dat is in "c:\programdata\cmuv\DVBViewer" folder. Can not see what you have in your tiny attacments.

heres the confifg files

You're right it's called configuration folder in the DVBViewer program group. And it's not the name of the folder but the description of it.

 

Anyway your epg.dat is bigger than 10 bytes so something gets saved. Are you sure the imported data lies in the future? Because on saving all data older than one day is not saved.

Yep your right. But the size is constantly changing from 288 k down to 177k. Dont know why, have given up caring. Bigger problems in my life than whats on TV.

And of course the the imported epg is in the future, otherwise I wouldn't notice the future dissapear , every time I reopen the epg. I have even tried a total reinstall of DVBViewer.

Right have had time to care. This has been a problem for a long time. I have reinstalled DVBViewer several times, and still had the same result. As soon as I close all of my imported EPG dissapear apart from the 3 hours or so which is broadcast OTA. I have resorted to differnet epg supplier (http://epg.pvr.geek.nz/epg/listings-freeview.xml.gz) and still the same result. Then in a flash of brilliance I deleted epg.dat (in error) from the config folder (this is the file that would suddenly shrink on closing of the programme). The epg.dat file has since rebuilt its self and i now have 7 days of epg on all channels I require.

 

Is this a known bug??? Is it unique to New Zealand???? Has anyone else had this problem
