Sounds like a Sunday project to decide what to do in my situation. I'll let you know what I figure out. Thanks!

I just upgraded to version 1.2.11 and it appears to have fixed whatever the problem was. Now I get the green status icon on the WMC main screen.

Thanks.
That was easy.

Yes, it is doing all that you said....
BUT
my apologize I believe I know what the problem is. When I set up each of my PCs, I assign them each their own tuner (one only). So I believe the problem is, I was probably watching another channel at the time it was supposed to be recording, and of course...

I hope it's ok to bump this thread. I got behind in versions and just updated to 1.2.10 from 1.1.11 skipping all the intermediate updates. Everything has been working perfectly. I now wish I had done a backup and paid close attention to all the settings before I updated. When I ran the 1.2.10 Setup...

Could you send me an example to look at? What lineups, channels, and movie. The movie id should be the same for the same movie... though Gracenote will have different id for the different languages of a movie.

Maybe Gracenote has decided to distinguish between a movie, and an edited for TV movie,...

Sounds excellent Gary!

Thanks for looking at it.

Ha. Cool. 👍

Update: I don't think it will be an issue. The ToS is stored on the local machine in a text file ... this is what is referenced during TV Setup. C:\Windows\ehome\ \epgtos.txt.

That's great, and I apologize. I meant to add the json file into the cache clearing routine on last release but forgot... would have saved some time if it was already in there.

1) I think it would be best if EPG123 does not run at the same time. Too much accessing of the database increases the risk of corrupting it (based on my unscientific observations).

2) The notification about closing the form will only appear if you hit the 'X' button to close the form. At that...

NOTE: with Microsoft dropping guide support I suspect you will become very busy :o
...

Microsoft has not announce dropping guide support, just metadata support.

For any machine that will both create the MXF file and import into a local WMC, do steps 1, 2, and 3 (server and client both).

For machines that are only going to import a MXF file that was created somewhere else, do steps 1 and 2 only (client only).

For machines that are only going to create the...

The client is my windows 7 theater PC, which will no longer have internet as of next January (I will only be letting it hit the local network for security purposes). My server is a desktop which is allowed to sleep.

As a side note, the theater PC was having a hard time grabbing the mxf file form...

I sent schedules direct an email yesterday regarding this, and no errors today.

I don't know which version you upgraded from, so it might be that your scheduled task needs to be deleted and recreated. Could you post the contents of your trace.log file for the last update run to see what is happening?

Thank you. I followed your instruction, ran epg123.exe, and now have guide data for 21 days on channel 58.2. Tracelog looks better. And I am delighted to not need to rerun channel scan and full setup. Your support is better than any of the commercial software I use.

Thanks!
I had the same question. Kinda what I thought but not sure. This verifies my suspicion. I have about 4 stations/channels that have this error.

I have mine set for 21 days. would it help to set it lower, or just ignore it, and see if it goes away in a bit. Actually non of the channels are...

it was hidden, thanks Gary!

Thanks Garyan2 I agree its a fancy feature. Was wondering if anyone made a WMC add-on or something to do this. Jachin99 I was hoping it would switch automatically.

I'm not against it, just don't plan on it. You can add an action to the scheduled task to copy/move the file to wherever you want. Since it will be in the task, as soon as the EPG update is done, the file can be immediately moved.

Thanks

Upgraded without problems.
