New EPG and release

I’m looking forward to testing the new UK EPG data from Thursday afternoon UK time, should improve things, especially how complicated the UK is for region’s and then sub regions, 5 main region’s quickly become 20 or just over with the sub region’s for the different cities and boroughs.
Get the main 5 working first, England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Channel Islands and Plex will be awesome once more.

Then I’m adding one more WinTV DualHD tuner to the mix, this will then give me everything I need to run my server the way I intend.

Yup! It recorded last nights episode and now shows no more airing.
Hoping the new EPG provider knows about this issue and is working on it.

I have reported it using the link above. If you could do the same they might look at it more quickly?!

Missed the link originally, thanks, I’ve now filled it out and sent it off.

I looked at about a dozen and they seemed to be ok with episode descriptions, however, I will look again tonight. Just north of you in the Oklahoma City OTA market.

Yeah - in UK and experiencing same issues. BBC4 is apparently now BBK. No BBC1 Yorkshire, etc.

Some channels were switched round or just plain wrong - i.e. Film 4 and C4+1, etc

Still no upcoming recordings, getting sick of this, what’s going on? Is it just me?

Episodes are showing up in the guide correctly, but despite being new episodes nothing is recorded. I can manually record an episode by cancelling it from the schedule and then kicking off the recording.

Deleted and setup DVR a dozen times and it’s the same every time!

Under recordings, recording priority to the right of the screen, click on any show, let the details box pop up and hit save. That worked for me. Had to do it for every show down that list.

PMS beta update to 1.16.1.1273 released 2 days ago addressed the cryptic channel labelling issue by adding the full channel name when on setup channel matching screen. See Plex Media Server - #271 by emilybersin

This specific example was already addressed, however, there are still errors to be corrected,
13 E4 , 39 CBS Justice, 48 Movies 4 Men +1, 7 TCC, 82 Now 80s, 90s Now 90s, 235 Aljazeera

could be the episode identification - some corrections are still being made. Is the episode correctly identified - if they are, could you get screenshots and debug logs just before the expected scheduled time and during

@sa2000 I think 5pm BST Tomorrow or around that time we in the UK should see a change in the EPG data as a whole if I am correct? If everything is on track that is?

I just want to add that I also noticed the 1/1/19 as the date on a few shows, and for here on the Wenvoe Transmitter, Channel 8 which is the Local Channel shows as North Wales, as when it was Gracenote under a couple of other Lineups it showed as Cardiff TV.

Let see what the next 24-36 hours brings us eh?

I have for example an episode of Ambulance on BBC1 HD tomorrow at 9pm, it’s correctly identified as S05E05, however it’s not showing in the DVR schedule. Same with Taskmaster on Dave this evening episode numbering is correct S08E08, doesn’t appear in the DVR schedule.

If I switch from ‘New Airings’ to ‘New and Repeat Airings’ the DVR schedule is populated with all the available episodes.

Currently running version 1.16.1.1273. EPG is Freeview Anglia OTA Broadcast.

Thanks

I rechecked it tonight and you are correct, the roku does not have the episode information for most shows (just a few showed episode info)

Makes good sense, thanks for the updates, however I believe the guide is wrong about what is HD and what is not.

Live with Kelly and Ryan later this morning for instance is broadcast in 720p, but is being shown as SD. I’ll fill out the form I guess since that is now “incorrect guide data” not “The channel sees it as SD when it’s really HD”

Here is a screen shot of the stream, where it’s obviously not letterboxed to a 4:3 resolution:

Just refreshed the guide. Everything that was 1/1/19 now has todays date.Looks like all the recordings have come back too

Mine has mostly all dates as well, but verify they’re correct, as for instance, this show probably isn’t a future episode being shown today:

Hi,

I am currently unable to download EPG data (for a few days now) the guide gets to about 4% downloading then stops with the errors below. Will this new release fix my issue? I have 3 devices giving me 8 tuners which are a nightmare to setup each time and trying to avoid doing it again. If I have to set them all up again would anyone recommend the XML route instead? I am in the UK

I tried to setup my DVR again, but I cannot get past the step to select language for the EPG

No matter what language I pick I don’t get the postal code field?

Hmm. Have you tried restarting PMS?

Ok, so I’ve turned on debugging and tried re-adding Taskmaster to the schedule. The debug log shows this:

This isn’t true E8 is yesterdays episode but has never been recorded before, E9 hasn’t aired yet!
