EPG cable DM800

[anthmatthews]

Is it just me or is the epg for cable just crap? My old image for sat the epg was really good, this one for cable seems to be missing info for channels and says children's channels info for sports channels etc, does any one know of a good epg or is it my settings please help

Thanks
Anth

There is only one setting for the Cable EPG and thats from Rytec sources

[anthmatthews]

Do you know why sports 1 SD displays movie info instead of the correct epg and how to fix it by any chance?

[anthmatthews]

I'm still having trouble with cable epg on my dm800, anyone have it sussed yet?

Mine is always missing data for some channels and has wrong data for channels i.e sky sports 1 shows as viewing carebears etc

Hi mate if you are using OpenPli or Open ATV image use xmltvimport which you install from the addons server, also install xmltvimport-rytec (sources)
once installed reboot you stb go to the plugin and set it up.
The only thing I change from the default settings is:-

start after booting enable
load long description 7 days
then press green to save

Go back into the plugin and press blue for sources, now here you need to tick Verjin cable. Not sure if this option is in the default sources so the xmlfile I have upload needs to be transferred to etc/epgimport in there you will see the default xml rytec.sources, just add my file in there.
reboot the box again then go through the above procedure and you should then see verjin in sources tick it and save.
you can start the epg by pressing yellow (manual).
It will then start to your settings after that.
I have been using this for a long time on several boxes without any issues.
If you are using a different image I believe there is a work around, just google for the how to.

EPG cable DM800



Can you have a look at this, I can't find plugin via the green button from the menu in photo 1'its not there, I've managed to download it from the net and install it via FTP, I've FTP'd the file you attached earlier for the sources, I've got them ticked but it was saying 0 events downloaded now it seems to be stuck at 9820 events and when I try to rerun it says it's still running, I've got cross epg with rytec Virgin but that has parts of the epg missing and incorrect but it's better than nowt, do I need to uninstall cross epg and just leave the other one, is the one I've downloaded correct, appreciate any help you can give me, thanks Anth

I think that the plugins are not showing on pli feeds as they must have already been installed
uncheck the two rytec uk and just leave the rytec cable checked then save, should work then mate.
also enable after booting up.
I would bin cross epg altogether it gives to many issues, certainly don't have them running at the same time.


Just as a matter of interest does the AutoBouquets C2 work.
I don't use it as I have Sr'4's and I have to edit the xml files and make my own channel lists for them.

Cheers I'll have a look, yeah auto bouquets works fine for me as long as you pick the right local area, I'm on the border with two areas and if you pick the wrong one then you have some channels but not all, it took me a while to suss it when first setting up but is great, rarely have to run it to be honest.

Nah can't get it to work on my box but cheers, kept me entertained for a while, just gone back to cross epg as it works but isn't perfect, bits missing etc but better than nowt

Hi mate I have just had to reflash one of my sr4's and I noticed when I was setting up the xmlimport plugin that it wasn't populating cable epg.
I have two cable rytec source files and I used the one I uploaded for you, so I have the working one now so I have uploaded it here.
Drop this file into etc>xmltvimport and make sure you give it read and write permissions 755.
