Up ya arse!
Was asked for the latest files as the respective threads have got way too large that they are difficult to find so here they are :)

These files haven't changed since they were last posted in their respective threads so if your CrossEPG is working fine then there's no need to update as the files haven't been updated :)

All 3 files should be unzipped/unrared to the folder /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/systemPlugins/CrossEPG, delete the corresponding .pyo file and then restart the box.

To check that the revised files are in place, after the restart check that the 3 .pyo files have a date/time stamp the corresponds to roughly the reboot time.

In terms of what the files do:

crossepg_auto.py - this looks like the main library file that gets called when the box does an automatic EPG download and import
crossepg_setup.py - this is the main library file that gets called when you invoke the crossepg setup menu on screen
crossepg_loader.py - this library file performs the actual import of the latest EPG data

/IAmATeaf passes the tissues :Hit:

Joking aside, the last 2 files (...auto.zip and ...setup.zip) have made it into the source stream managed by the author of CrossEPG but the first (...loader.rar) still hasn't been accepted but I tested it for a good month + and it never once failed :)

Locate the folder where the epg data is being downloaded, so hdd or usb, locate the crossepg folder and delete it, then reboot the box and after the restart go into crossepg and perform a manual download.
 
if i copied the files in iamateafs link...how do i do i check the date/time stamps ?
 
Hello Everyone,

I am running blackhole 1.7.5 and its been fine for a week. I have a 1TB internal HDD fitted and I have the Cool TV Guide installed.

I have setup my EPG using Crossepg. Its been working fine using the HDD to store all the EPG data. Over the last day my EPG data is missing and I have tried to download again. But when I check the Crossepg settings my storage device has changed form HDD to Internal Flash. I cannot change it back and if I go to devices the hard disk is not shown and it searches for the device but crashes. After a restart the HDD is available again and everything is fine.. What will be causing the HDD to vanish?

Is this a know problem with this image or with the clone boxes?

The box and HDD are less than 6 weeks old.

Does this sound like the same issue?

I cannot download the files I have 7 posts but 2 are from the welcome forum? How many posts do I need to download?

Hi Mate

When you tried it how did you get on did it work?
 
Have you even read post 1 where it tells you where the files go ?
 
Nice one mate! This was really bugging me! I was about to stick up a help thread to see if anyone had similar issues. Working great here!
 
Bah, this has stopped working for me again. It seems to last about a week or two then dies :-(
 
Ive just sent you a PM @Purity for you to try
