Let us ALL say THANKS to Gary the developer of EPG123 with a monetary donation to the cause.
For his relentless pursuit of perfection.

I couldn't agree more. Beyond the dedication to EPG123 itself, Gary's support is unparalleled. He always provides fast, detailed answers to questions (even when they're not about EPG123 ). I donated a while back, and I'll do so again. A one-time amount doesn't seem sufficient. :clap:

WMC Guide locking up (UK OTA)

by DavidUK » Thu Jan 09, 2020 5:21 pm

First post

W7MC/EPG123/Schedules Direct/UK OTA
For about a week, the WMC guide has been locking up for a period ranging from a few seconds to 1/2 minute.
Located the problem as the BBC Red Button channels 250 and 601. Disabling these two channels and the guide no longer locks up.

Last post

The only thing slightly unusual about these BBC Red button channels is they are currently repeating the same program name many times.

I think that is standard behaviour due to the nature of the channel. If not covering a special live event they just loop the same program.

It is not an error and does not get logged in the event logger nor does it affect the status logo in WMC. It does cause some confusion, though.
