EPG channels not updating

#1

Post by grooverider76 » Mon Feb 19, 2024 11:14 am

Can anyone help?

I live in UK and the sky sports channels have updated and channel numbers have changed recently but this is not being reflected in the channel lineups that are being pulled from Schedules Direct. Is there a way to force EPG to pull the channels again from SD or is it likely a case that SD havent updated their channel listings yet? The channel lineups changed on 13th Feb on Sky, BT TV and Virgin Media and their official tv guides online show the channel changes but SD isnt showing them.

To determine if SD/Gracenote lineups have updated, you can open the EPG123 configuration GUI and observe the channel in your lineup(s). EPG123 does not cache the lineups so what is presented is the current data from SD/Gracenote.

You can manually map the guide listings to the proper channel numbers in the client. https://garyan2.github.io/map.html

EPG 1.8.2.9 IS installed and seems to be working just fine. Am I correct in thinking that the system tray icon that had been present in an earlier version (and I thought pretty cool) is no longer present, or has something in my installation gone awry?

***Much to my surprise, the EPG system tray icon just showed up after a system restart, and I'm happy about that.
