Guide not updating

[beauford]

I was able to get the guide in media center the first time. It has not updated sense.

The epg123.mxf file is showing today's date so I assume epg123 is working, am I right?
What causes media center to import the data into WMC?
Thanks

[garyan2]

I'm assuming what you posted from the log is a manual update using the [Save & Execute] button. Everything is good there, but it does show that your scheduled task has not run. Was this a new task while you are troubleshooting?

The client does the import once the server is done creating the mxf file.

Code: Select all

[4/4/2020 9:24:41 PM] Entering importMxfFile() for file "c:\programdata\garyan2\epg123\output\epg123.mxf"
[4/4/2020 9:25:29 PM] [ INFO] Successfully imported .mxf file into Media Center database. Exit code: 0
[4/4/2020 9:25:29 PM] Exiting importMxfFile(). SUCCESS.

So if it your task that is not running, then that is where to look. Are you Win10?

[beauford]

yes it was a manual update.
I am running win7
I don't see the task in task scheduler. It was there yesterday but, is trying to get it to work I must have done something to kill it. WHat is it called?

[Space]

In the EPG123 client, make sure "Full Mode" is selected before pressing the "Create" button to create the task. You probably also want "Automatch" selected before creating the task. Note that if the task is already created, you will have to click on the button to delete the task first.

[beauford]

I did again. still no guide

[beauford]

What is the task called?

[beauford]

if the task is epg123_update it has run the last 6 days

[beauford]

epg123 client and config still says task has not run yet.

[garyan2]

please post a picture of the client. Your manual update ran just fine, and it automatically imported with automatch enabled. Based on that I see no reason why you wouldn't have a guide.

[beauford]

how do you insert a screen shot?
The task ran over night.
still no guide
PvrScheduleTask failed when it ran in the scheduler,

[Space]

Go to the "Full editor" and then below the edit area, there is a green horizontal bar, one of the options there is "Attachments". Click on it and then "Add files".

If the picture is too big to upload, you can also upload it to imgur.com (New Post) and then put the link to it here in your post.

[garyan2]

Your task is set to use Schedules Direct, but your guide listings are setup to use the HDHR2MXF program to download from SiliconDust.

In the client, select the lineup that is NOT "EPG123 HDHR-US to MXF Converter", and then click the Match by: [# Number] button to attach your guide listings downloaded from Schedules Direct to your channels.

That will do it.

[beauford]

Thanks, all is well.
When i click "refresh lineup" it changes it ti"EPG123 HDHR-US to MXF Converter" That is where i was going wrong.
Thanks again for all of you help and work.
