Missing Channel

#1

Post by eraser808 » Fri Mar 27, 2020 1:23 am

OTA Channel 19.6, WXIXDT6, ID:114195
Zip 45244

SD added the missing channel to their lineup USA-OTA-45244 a week ago. Verified the channel and guide information displays in the Gracenote/Zap2it grid for zip 45244. Also verified the channel is listed on SD site under the lineup that is being downloaded by EPG123. But the channel will not download/display in EPG123 Configuration.

I've added the channel manually with the EPG123 client and it tunes/works, but there is no guide information to associate with the channel. Any Ideas?

It looks like they didn't populate a field that EPG123 considers for populating the listview... notice it doesn't have the uhfVhf field populated.

Code: Select all

{"stationID":"109519","uhfVhf":15,"atscMajor":19,"atscMinor":4},
{"stationID":"113515","uhfVhf":15,"atscMajor":19,"atscMinor":5},
{"stationID":"114195","atscMajor":19,"atscMinor":6},
{"stationID":"30618","uhfVhf":34,"atscMajor":22,"atscMinor":1},
{"stationID":"30636","uhfVhf":34,"atscMajor":22,"atscMinor":2},{"
As a work-around, edit your epg123.cfg file and add the below with all the other StationID elements:

Code: Select all

  <StationID CallSign="WXIXDT6" HDOverride="false" SDOverride="false">114195</StationID>
I'll talk with SD to see if this will be normal and adjust accordingly. I think this is just a mistake on their part and is a simple fix.

Actually, the problem is with the JSON return from SD. Even with the missing uhfVhf element, it will still work with EPG123. SD is not providing the station information in the return.

Don't fully understand JSON return comment. Should I still add the missing uhfVhf element or wait for SD to correct it on their end?

I sent an email to rkulagow of the situation. I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

SD just let me know, and I verified, the station is fixed and is viewable in EPG123 now.
