IPTV EPG failing to download with EPG Importer

[jfish]

Got a ZGemma HS running Open ATV 6.4, 2 GB USB drive with 1.9GB free, EPG set to save to USB drive

when importing EPG for my IPTV get error - no space left

I have attached the pictures of the error

EPG programs add EPG data to cache (RAM).
EPG cache is saved to EPG database (storage device) on graceful restart or if you click on the save button.
They are two different processes. Are you sure you have enough RAM, otherwise a swap file may be needed.


Please check the epg importer log itself for error, just in case it is not visible on the screen.

Just for reference purposes:

* Where is the epgimport.log

Open the XMLTV importer.
Press now the Menu button on your remote.
Make the choice to see the log.
Now you see the log. This log can be saved, and you find the saved fle in /tmp/

100% needs a swap file on the HS

an update

I have set up cacheflash, a swap file on a USB flash pen and did notice the download fails with the error message no space left

from the logs first few attempts its downloading to the /tmp folder on the internal flash however after a few attempts it downloads to the usb flash pen /media/hdd

no sure why it saves to USB flash after a few attemps.

Thats i wierd one but if you have set the epg to download to USB and the usb drive is mounted correctly it should do just that download to USB.

If you have not yet after setting it up to save to usb do a reboot.

 

[jfish]

after each settings I did a reboot

format usb flash and mount - reboot
create swap file - reboot
setup epg importer to save to USB - reboot

In situations like this when there is something unexplained i usually reflash.

 

[jfish]

forgot to add this issue is happening on a H3.2TC

 

[jfish]

I am going to force another import see what happens

 

[jfish]

rebooted box and did a manual import, it failed using internal flash

waited 5 mins tried again and now its downloading to the USB flash

Run flashexpander

 

[jfish]

whats flash expander ?

 

[Ferret]

It expands the flash of your box on to the usb drive giving it more space.

Its a good suggestion actually as you could then let it download the epg to flash.

 

[Abu Baniaz]

Are you sure flash drive is not disappearing intermittently or mount points changing?

You sound surprised Mr ferret ( Thanks kindly ) Mr les

still having same issue, going to try a different USB flash pen

 

[jfish]

can I use flash expander to move the /tmp folder to the USB drive

 

[Ferret]

It extends the whole flash contents to USB . Obviously that usb then needs to be permanently in the box.

Once you have run flashexpander anything installed will go to the usb.
