EPG123 Configuration Setup Screen

#1

Post by msweda » Sun Jul 16, 2017 10:36 pm

Has anyone had a problem with the window that opens with the configuration (epg123.exe) not showing the Save and Execute button? It appears to be cutoff with no sliders. Hopefully this is an easy issue as I've been working on this !#$#!!! MC EPG issue for three days solid before I found you folks. Thanks.

Not really, although I have seen .Net apps have issues if you've set the Windows Display scaling to something other than 100%.

This is my bad. I had taken care of this for the client GUI, but not the configuration GUI. You need to go in to your display properties / screen resolution and change your text size to 100% or 125%. 150% is just too large for the GUI.

Just installed epg123 and it seemed to run successfully but no guide data is showing. While in epg123 I click save and execute, it runs but errors on the reindexroot. It says "kicking off reindexsearchroot task ..." then says "ERROR: Element not found". At that point I "x" out. I tried going into Media Center and downloading the guide and it completes successfully but still no guide data. Not sure if the reindex has anything to do with anything but it was the only thing that seemed odd.

Not sure what detail is useful but it's a windows 7 system, i did the clean install process, and I to have a schedules direct account.

Any ideas?

No ideas at the moment. Could you copy&paste the contents of the trace.log file for your update attempts? Remember to place to trace.log contents with the [ code ] tags.

When you say "just installed" do you mean 5 to 9 months ago? I'm not sure what events led up to these errors ... was it working before and just quit? or did you just try and install v1.0.2?

Just installed 1.0 today but I saw there's a 1.1. I had saved the 1.0 exe a while back and was just waiting for the rovi guide to have a critical failure which seems to be nearing. Probably overkill but I'm doing a fresh windows 7 install in case there's any conflicts and install 1.1. We'll see if that fixes anything.

The reinstall did the trick. Not sure what was causing the errors.
