just checking now aCiD

I am having a small issue with populating the epg thou. It is not an issue due to the epg URL, it's the device I am using or the entered input. I had this issue before and did get it working, so I need some time and I will get this flanged up

thnx again for looking at this aCiD :)

Crazed, I hope it's not the size of the EPG, it got a bit bigger but not by that much.

I was worrying about users that use boxes with less then ideal specs like RAM and so on...but I don't think that'a you.

I also thought about splitting the guide into two separate guides for English and Spanish speaking channels and making them smaller but then, I know some people have their boxes set one way and for some it's hard to change their options etc..older folks and so on..so I passed on that idea.. will see how that goes.

Hope all works out :)

yea, I am positive my issue has nothing to do with the EPG data.
I had this happen before and finally switched devices and all was good then. Problem is thou I do not know which device I had switched to, so many choices ... lol

I got sidetracked thou and have not gotten back to this yet, but I will be working on his tonight.

I dont see the year. I had an issue with one stb loading but could be me. The other using m3u list, the epg loads fine. I dont see the year in the description tho. I dont see the year with papiaos either using Mac authentication.

thnx Joker
I have had a couple busy days at work and have had no time except to drive, work, drive again and then sleep :eek:

While on a channel on that T3, did you try using the down function on the RCU to bring up the hidden menu at bottom of screen ?
 
#185
Yeah, tried that, hit info while on a channel twice brings up description but no year. You can hit the right arrow too to bring up upcoming epg for one channel but it was the same. I’ll try some other apps in the coming days and see if it’s any different

Thank you Joker for checking, that pretty strange. When I look at the xml date inside the guide I can clearly see the date and I also got an email from SD stating that there should be a year in the data that I pull...

It might be mc2xml software that I use to get the data from SD and it's not out putting the year. I'll have to look into that more over the weekend why we don't see the year... I know we pull more data because the guide got bigger by 25MB's.

Update...

So you guys asked for the dates, there you go. :) There should be release date appended to every movie in the guide and I think shows also but not 100% sure on that one yet...

It took me a while but I finally figur it out...now time to get some sleep or my wife wont be happy in the morning haha

ironically I had just recently send the android device (the T3) that does m3u URLs well, recently sent that to a friend :)
That was my last one of them models.
I been trying thru a T1 Plus model but that model is not good at EPG URL, or even server Playlist URLs :eek:
The Buzz box do not seem to work well with m3u URL option :(
I have some more devices and apps to check, but am procrastinator :) ... that's me

After being able to check this, it still does not work with the T3 using the m3u list in MOL2. The epg wont even load in the 4900 but it does load in the X5 with m3u list but the year is not displayed in the X5 either, but I set up tivimate in the T3 and the X5 and I can see the year is there? Looks like for whatever reason it will not show the year in MOL2 or the buzz for whatever reason.

Hey Joker,

Thank you for checking, I have no idea why isn't the guide working on other boxes. I checked on two of my boxes and I see the year, but those two boxes are runningTivimate.

When I get home from work today I'll check the other boxes and see what's up with that. I'll check on X5 and two other boxes which I can't remember the name of right now lol

Good morning boys and girls

How's everybody doing this fine chilly morning? You guys had a great summer?

It came to my attention this morning that there was an issue pulling the guide form schedules direct this morning, I tried to do a manual pull but no Go, it seems there's a issue with connection to their servers.
I'll keep an eye on it, and I'll try to do a manual pull from work later in the day.

But for now just stay tuned.
Sorry for the inconvenience boys and girls.
