New EPG and release

To get your EPG data I need to know the channel numbers and channel names this is an issue on. I know you said all channels but I am not able to setup a test environment where I pick all your channels - so i need to select specific channels from your lineup and then look at the data

KAUZ is the station identification. They are a CBS affiliate and their main channel they broadcast is CBS. CW is a substation they also broadcast. Right now the guide information is for CBS and not CW.

I checked before I made this post and it wasn’t in the lineup. It is now, however!

Thank you. I have referred it to our provider

Thank you. This is being looked into as a potential Plex Web app issue. Does a browser F5 refresh or closing browser and relaunching resolve?

Possible channels would be 808, 829, 832, 834, 836, 917, 919, & 934. Plus all of their SD counterparts.

I don’t think I’ve seen games on any other channels.

edit: Those channels are ABC, TNT, ESPN, ESPN2, FSSW, ESPND, NBATV, FSSW2

Just setup Plex DVR and everything in the guide is marked as NEW.
It’s showing today’s date instead of episode number.
Is anybody else having this problem or know a fix for it?

This had nothing to do with Plex.

For anyone else who may have this problem

The issue was with my EPG file.
I’ve switched to using Schedules Direct to import my program info (to xTeVe), and now everything is working properly.

Sometimes it does but it just eventually comes back. Thanks.

I am still having to do a lot of full manual EPG refresh to get rid of to be announced in the guide. It seems like the non-manual full refresh doesnt update these to be announced.

Well, that was fast. I noticed this morning that it has now been corrected. Thank you again.

His Dark Materials episode 1 BBC1 HD tonight not set as NEW so season-pass was going to start with episode 2!

Well done Plex, that’s only one of the biggest premiers of the year and it wouldn’t have recorded except I happened to spot the mistake in time. EPG really isn’t fit for purpose.

I am escalating that to our provider. It appears to have been missed for the first episode

I checked plex.tv server information and you appear to be on a very old version 1.16.6.1592-B9D49BDB7 - assuming the server you are referring to is “freeplex”

Automatic overnight scheduled task full EPG refreshes came in with version 1.18.0.1906

Verizon Fios/Pittsburgh/15222. MLB issue was resolved, but the same is happening to all NHL, NFL, and College Football Games showing replays as “new,” in many cases corrupting the original file since the replays aren’t timed properly. Please advise, thank you for the help.

Side note, breaking out all “notre dame” events should be selected as Notre Dame Football, or Basketball. Now I get volleyball softball soccer etc.

Thanks for the list

I have found one problem which relates to games marked for us as taped. At the moment these result in the New flag being set - because taped could also cover cases of transmissions that are semi-live - taped and transmitted a few seconds later

I have raised this for our team to look into

Well none of these are marked new on any other guide source I’m checking, including the tivo in my living room.

The following airings are examples of what I found. For each of these 3 games, there are 3 airings. The 2nd and 3rd of each should not have had the “New” indicator showing

You will need to convert the UTC times to your local time

Correct. None of the extra airings should be marked new, they all are.

The DVR has basically imploded on me. I’m now recording pirates “events” as new well after the season has ended. Recording “Notre dame football” or “Pittsburgh football” is every sporting event from that respective university. NFL and NHL games are recording replays and Spanish. It’s become unusable in Pittsburgh which is beyond saddening.

@sa2000, Thank you.

I love Plex and your efforts are appreciated.

I do think DVR needs a re-think. When it went live I was excited for its future, which I presumed would bring in PVR features once things had settled with basic functionality. Unfortunately, a few years later and things still haven’t settled and none of those more exciting PVR features have been introduced.

I need to establish if the cause of this is the same - is it the taped broadcasts that are the cause of the issue. So please list of channel numbers and channel names and the lineup and I will compare with what I found for what @NDInnovations reported

channel numbers and channel names please and I will be able to examine the data
