Channel Guide Not Updating

#1

Post by mfc90125 » Thu Jan 02, 2020 1:17 am

Have downloaded the most recent version and I’m seeing logs that show the channel guide was run with an exit code of 0x00000000. However, if I fast forward in the guide 13 days ahead (in this case January 14th), my programming ends at 4:00 pm. It should have also updated my recent addition of two stations I forgot in my original set up. Again, those haven’t been corrected either.

I have EPG updating daily at 00:00 (12am), but it appears that the original update when I first moved over to EPG is the only on that’s been truly successful. Am I missing a step to port over the guide or does that happen automatically?

The "days" to download are based on UTC time. I am assuming you are west coast because 4PM would be UTC -8 hours. Also, the day that the update is run is included using UTC time as well. So if you performed an update at 3:30PM on 1/1/2020, and download 14 days, it would end mostly around 4PM on 1/14/2020. If, however you do an update at 4:30PM, your guide would extend out to 4PM on 1/15/2020.

If you performed a [Save & Execute] after adding the 2 stations, then it sounds like the listings just haven't been assigned to the channels. Open the client and select the channel on the left, select the station on the right, right-click and select 'Subscribe'. Rinse and Repeat.
