UK Freeview EPG on Live TV is broken!

This is for @sa2000, @ChuckPa, @sixones and other Plex helpers and Devs. .
Why aren’t we as payed Plex pass users, especially lifetime ones like myself, bring left with broken EPG’s like the one I’ve been using for Freeview until last night when it lost 3 of the main TV channels that my son and his sister’s watch between 2 houses and while out on the bus using my Android Smartphone?
Before you all ask, yes I’ve sent the request in for channels to be added so many times via the website that we were given the link to, I’ve lost joint how many times I’ve used it!
Why are we paying out have paid for access to a sub par system, that seems to have been broken from the get go? Developers may think don’t web shows the very expensive tidal will help ease the burden of how broken the live tv EPG really is, but I’m not one for paying for Tidal, I’m one that yes, uses Plex for what it was originally created for, that’s streaming home media, which the live TV actually comes under, and another thing, before someone actually says we don’t pay for it, yup live TV don’t work unless you have a Plex pass.
Can we as lex users get some form of promise, especially here in the UK, that the EPG system from Gracenote will be fixed Asap? If it’s Gracenote that’s the issue, why not use some other EPG provider, that is more worth the money and effort to keep users from leaving what seems to be a sinking ship?
No need to ask for logs from me, as the issue isn’t going to be fixed by looking through logs, it’s a Gracenote/Plex live TV issue that hasn’t been fixed since day one, the inconsistency of the onconnect system is poor, we need answers to what is going on with it, and we need it fixed.

To add to this issue now, since updating the server today to the latest “GREATEST” beta version, I’m now unable to get any channel mappings, I’ve tried removing the DVR and I’ve tried rebooting the server to no avail, is there a fix for this? If it’s a Grapefruit issue… Sorry I mean Gracenote one, then can someone please who is in the UK and is running PMS along with a fully working xmltv guide, put instructions on how to install it and get Plex to see this for other users like myself that are having issues? @sa2000 @sixones @ChuckPa

Hi

You must know the drill by now.

Please could i have server logs with debug logging enabled covering time when a refresh of the guide is failing

Yes Sir!! :smile:
I’ve sent you the logs, I’ve also sent you my Post Code and which transmitter I’m receiving off here in the UK. I’ve had missing channels for, well, since I started using the Live TV side of Plex. It’s a definite Gracenote issue, it’s strange having channels show up that are transmitting that I cannot watch!! The latest missing channel are the Kids ones…
