is there a way to get the vermin uk as a provider in crossepg. usually its there when you update the providers. is there something i need to do to get it? ive put an old version on and the latest. still its missing.
 
For virmin, I would recommend installing and using EPG refresh. Once setup, the epg data will be direct from same source as Virmin use themselves.

If you prefer crossepg then you'll be using an xml type source (ie via internet) such as rytek I believe it's called.
 
yes, however when u update the providers the option for vermin uk isnt present on the download list.

so epg refresh does it download the epg too. i thought it just repaired the gaps and missing info from the epg lists.

I've had EPGRefresh installed for over a year but lately, on my setup, it's been totally wrong. A LOT of the Sky Sports epg's are ridiculous.
CrossEPG gives the right program every time, to the point that I don't trust the former anymore.
If I want to know what is on, accurately, then I use CrossEPG

yes, i need the vermin download to be visible in the download list tho.

This use to work been a while though

FTP this file to - \usr\crossepg\providers\

add the rytec Uk virgin source.

reboot receiver, then set configuration in CrossEPG

thanks for that ferret, didnt work. its cool tho, the box is on its road out and my mate will be buying a new one soon.
 
I would use opentv image and enable vmepg or look at rytec file and check service IDs for channels. I did one years ago my channels were different to what was on file
 
Sorry to be blunt, but there are some fundamental errors/misunderstandings in this thread as well as in another recent one. Just to clarify:

Stream EPG Download:
To download UK DVB-C EPG data from the stream/signal wire, you must enable Virgin EPG if your image has it. Every channel will have some EPG data and the system will absorb it provided the Virgin EPG setting is enabled. If you want 5 days EPG, you have to zap to the Virgin Preview channel/frequency for about 2 minutes. This is the same as frequency as PVR_EPG.

If your image does not have the Virgin EPG option, download a newer image.

EPG refresh is essentially just a channel zapper. It is not required, it just helps automate the zapping process.

CrossEPG downloader cannot download DVB-C epg from the stream. It only uses the internet side of it.

Internet EPG download
The Core-PLI member who gathers the EPG data is very much against CrossEPG Downloader. If you are going to use Rytec EPG, you would be better off using XMLTV/EPG Importer. If you have issues and use CrossEPG, you don't get as much help as you do if using XMLTV/EPG Importer. They even removed Cross EPG downloader from their build proces.

Incorrect EPG
If you are getting incorrect EPG data and use some , the details should e passed on to Doglover at PLi and he will adapt. Unless the details are passed on to him, the errors will never be corrected. The service references are differnt between the areas. Someone in another country will not be able to obtain these details himself.

Mixing/matching sources
As a general note, it is folly to download the EPG data for the same provider from two different sources. Either use stream or use internet. Do not use both.

Sorry for the terse response. Unless these misunderstanding are cleared up, whichever image/receiver you use, you will have an issue.
 
Sorry to be blunt, but there are some fundamental errors/misunderstandings in this thread as well as in another recent one. Just to clarify:

I have CrossEPG using the last rytec source i provided on this thread.

What are the errors and misunderstandings ive made other then maybe the cross epg in use here was not compatible with the source provided.

Your posting here seems irrelevant to what i was trying to do yeah it failed but the basics dont need speeling out to me.

This is not correct. Virgin EPG from stream is only available on images with Lraizer's EPG patch.

As above. The chap has another issue causing this.
To verify, stop Enigma2, sleep 10 seconds, delete EPG data, restart, zap to Preview/PVR EPG channel. The data should be correct.

Rytec sources will only work if the service references Doglover has correlates to the channels. They are different for different areas. This is the primary reason we don't have the a UK channel list. Should @stefblak want to pursue this, he has to get the service references for the channels with no data and pass on to Doglover. He will have to jump the hurdle of Cross EPG is corrupts/does not work if/when he posts on PLI. This is after he goes through the dependency installation process. PLI removed it with this commit.
crossepg: disabled, it breaks the build of non-mips32el targets. * E2OpenPlugins/e2openplugins@9be3f59 * GitHub Is it not far easier to just install the plugin they favour, promote and maintain?

Well at least this you have highlighted the exact points instead of generalizing and having us guess whos misunderstood and what are the errors.

Ill agree with fangface that Crossepg has less errors than other epg sources at this moment in time. Maybe this is an area thing.

You are absolutely right then. The data that Virgin transmits must be wrong.
