Upgrade fun

#1

Post by chrissmith5 » Wed Jul 07, 2021 5:12 am

DB was corrupt not updating some series and decided to update EPG123 from 1.1.25 during this rebuild, Big learning curve for software so many new features/screens. Want to say thanks to Gary!
Struggled logging into SD, searching led to bug thread, suggested multiple attempts, which worked after 5-6 tries/restarts of config.
DB restored, series and history restored great.

Now my last small issue is my logos are no longer present in WMC. I have a green light in config window, likely as it has been working great for months/years.
Don't see a setting in the Tweak WMC in client window, to force update.

Searched forum but this seems to be a non-issue for others.
Would appreciate any suggestions on what I am missing?

When you updated EPG123, did you happen to do a clean start again? If so, there is a bug that will be fixed in next release whereas the very first MXF creation on a clean system, that didn't have any logos in the .\logos folder and had to download them, would not link the downloaded logos to the stations in the mxf file. The next update run would work fine and the logos would then be present since the logos were already downloaded.

The green light beside the logos in the GUI is just to say all logos in your .\logos folder have been loaded into memory for display in the GUI. Nothing to do with logos in the MXF file or WMC.

BTW, v1.1.25 was March 2018. A lot of new features and things to play with.

If the above isn't the case for your logos, let me know.

Yes I did happen to do a clean start, not knowing if I should do the WMC rebuild since your website has no instructions on that button these days.
