Crossepg DM800se not updating correctly
- Thread starter Napster
- Start date
It works fine m8 but you will probably need to be rebooting your box every couple of days just to make sure the epg updates properly
I've created a new thread detailing the fix

it fixes the bug of openTV reverting to internal flash and eventually filling up internal flash resulting in green screens and a reflash
there are 2 epg.dat files
epg.dat located on USB
ext.epg.dat located in USB/crossepg folder
the box needs to be rebooted once a week to keep the 2 files dates the same other wise one file doesn't always get updated
most important though is the danger of internal flash filling up has been fixed a simple restart of enigma keeps the 2 files in check
I put mine in deep standyby once a week, turn it on next day and it boots from enigma, job done for another week no hardship at all
in fact Im sure I read someone saying you should reboot boxes regular anyway, will try and search that one out
out of the 2 fixes the .PY is the simplest

how lonmg has this been going on for? im sure it worked fine when i was using Vix on my genuine vu duo.
im now running BH 1.7.2 on my genuine duo and it keep reverting back to internal flash
on my vu solo clone im using VTI (later 2011 version) and it also reverts back to internal flash
will try the py fix on both.

I think and I say very hesitantly that I may have found the problem with epg.dat file not being updated.
Need to do some more debugging over the next few days but what I've found is that enigma2 was recently (recently may be the wrong word as I'll be honest I've no idea how long ago) been patched so that the epg can be imported without the need for a restart. I mentioned before that I remember that CrossEPG used to need a restart, without this patch it will need to be restarted.
From what I can see so far the load of epg.dat is being performed by the following piece of code:
Those that have been following the previous problem might notice the os.system call, this is the exact same command that was failing in the Configure screen resulting in CrossEPG reverting to internal flash.
I'm going to monitor it over the next few days and if it turns out that that is what is causing the problem will investigate what I can replace that piece of code with.

is there any way to clear the ram? I'm just green screening all the time now when I'm trying to record......dang blast it! (it's probs been like that since it started filling it up with EPG)
Have a look in the enigma folder for a epg.dat file and delete it dibbs

If you're using CrossEPG then have a look in /usr/crossepg/data, if the folder doesn't exist then that would mean that it hasn't reverted to internal flash, in which case the problem might be elsewhere.
etc/enigma2 m8
Right I've had a look and that folder doesn't exist on my set up.....
That folder is there mate, should I delete them all that's in there, can't stop it green screening when I'm trying to record now....??
