Schedules Direct EPG (integrated BETA)

[sflamm]

Just installed a brand new standalone version of 9.1.10 and configured SD EPG... getting same "NO DATA" on the EPG. (see attached)

Please advise....

[sflamm]

turned on the SD debug:

debug_sd=true

found it loading data... and it finally finished properly (see attached)

my main installation also seems to be loading some info... but not the whole EPG..?

I’ve seen a few posts here from time to time where SD drops or renames a particular lineup to something slightly different. This of course only affects the handful of people using that particular lineup. You may have to tell Sage to use a “new” lineup and then go through the process of setting up the lineup in Sage again.

From that old of a version (9.0.14) there have been some SD changes, one in particular that was causing null pointer exceptions.

Try an EPG update, then look in the sagetv_0.txt log file for errors (or post it on here).

EDIT: Didn't see the OP's later posts before writing this. Disregard.

SageTV doesn't do some activities until after the EPG update such as filling in all of the gaps with No Data. What stations are missing? I should be able to tell what's happening from the sdmd5sched file. sd_epg.log could also be helpful, but based on what you're saying about it finishing successfully, it's probably not going to reveal anything I can't reproduce myself.

Thanks for the quick responses.

The EPG data remained at "No data" for almost 24 hours... During that time I attempted to force multiple manual EPG updates (toggling the channel assignments)... I also completely removed the old SD lineup and redid it ... but nothing seemed to resolve the issue.

I ended up purging my 9.0.14 installation then installing 9.1.10 and reloading my configuration. That seems to have worked fine. Now the EPG data is complete. When I imported my old wiz.bin it initially showed "no data" but it quickly resolved itself...

I have a second installation on 9.0.14... it too started suddenly is encountering the same issue at the same time. If I install 9.1.10 directly over it (upgrade) will / should that achieve the same result as starting from scratch?

Just an FYI, but EPG updates take several hours to filter into the scheduled recordings on my system and have for a long time, probably longer than I remember since I wasn't looking for it.
For instance I'll get a notice shortly after an EPG update saying that 'xx' manual recording will no longer record program 'yy', the new program is 'zz', be it either a different program or even something that doesn't say what it is since the manual times don't match the EPG. However if I go to the recordings schedule and call up the program info it will show the new program name, however if it was for a favorite it will still show the favorite icon as well as if you go to the recording options it will still show the "favorite" even though the EPG data shows the correct new program.
After an hour or two everything will settle down and the EPG data and recordings schedule will agree.
