EPG app not working

#1

Post by purpleb » Wed Apr 19, 2023 11:40 pm

For some of my systems, the EPG does not show my TV stations. I click on login to the Guide service and nothing happens. the internet is working fine on the system. Below is my log file for it. What is wrong? This has worked with no issues.

Is this happening to anyone else? It is on more than one system (win11 system).

Thanks in advance.....

Do you use the ModerMedia UI+ support file that you have EPG123 configured to create? Unless you installed ModerMedia UI+ then you probably don't.

In the past, a similar error was related to that function. If you don't need that file, then you can disable it in the EPG123 config GUI and then press the [Save & Execute] button to try the download again.

If you do need that file, then you most likely need to wait for Gary to fix a bug.

Clear the cache and try to update again. Open the configuration GUI and click [Clear Cache] and then [Save & Execute].

You realize you are not telling us anything about your situation right?
