EPG Problems with 2.0.14

[EnderW]

I am having problems getting guide data in 2.0.14.

I found the following error in the logs:

Mon 3/22 12:47:27.406 ERROR Updating EPG Source DIRECTV - USA
Mon 3/22 12:47:27.446 ErrorText:expand called on DIRECTV - USA at Mon 3/22 12:31:02.718 expandedUntil=Mon 3/22 12:19:40.243 confirmedUntil=Wed 12/31 19:00:00.000
EPG Expanding DIRECTV - USA at Mon 3/22 12:31:02.720
Repeated errors in communicating with server :java.io.EOFException

Looks to me like some channels did recieve updates in the guide, but most are 'No Data'

What server does this thing get the EPG info from?

[EnderW]

I just made some headway, I actually had All Channels (DirectTV) enabled, and I was having this problem.

I disabled them all, and just enabled ESPN and ESPNNews, the latter did not have any guide data, and sure enough, the data came down in about 5 minutes for that channel.

Sound like normal functionality? Maybe too many channels enabled causes problems?

No that doesn't sound like normal behavior. Sorry but I have to ask... Do you have the latest Java installed?

[EnderW]

This is a fresh box, so Java runtime was installed by Sage, version 1.4.2 SE

There was a similar post on here last week I think. The person attached their log file and it was identical to what you have there. He said he had reinstalled many times and got those errors everytime.

[EnderW]

You are right Falchulk, found it here

Sorry for wasting your time guys, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

There are some possible solutions in there that I will try out.

My problem must be deeply rooted. After reinstalling 2.0.14 and restoring the .Properties file, I went to do a channel setup. When doing so, I get 58+ megs (yes, megs) thrown into the Sage_0.txt, just filled with error lines like:

You'll probably want to update to the latest Java from Sun to run 2.0, it has be reported to fix a number of problems.

Stranger89 has a good idea. You also might want to scrap using your sage.properties and just redo the setup. If that works its something in your properties file.
