EPG Update Stalled at "12/13 Saving Files"

#1

Both my daily scheduled guide updates and "Update Guide Now" updates download everything fine and create the MXF file fine, but the MXF file never gets imported to WMC (icon on system tray is blue and says "Downloading 12/13 Saving Files") . When I click "Manual Import" on the Client, it works. There are no errors on the log. Any ideas?

[8/5/2023 5:14:27 PM] [ INFO] Completed save of the MXF file to "C:\ProgramData\GaRyan2\epg123\output\epg123.mxf". (19.533 MB)
[8/5/2023 5:14:27 PM] [ INFO] Generated MXF file contains 102 services, 2385 series, 1642 seasons, 13662 programs, 40201 schedule entries, and 27288 people with 3571 image links.
[8/5/2023 5:14:27 PM] [ INFO] Completed EPG123 update execution. SUCCESS.
[8/5/2023 5:14:27 PM] [ INFO] EPG123 update execution time was 00:00:06.9838487.

It just ends here without importing to WMC.

Your task is not setup to create and import the mxf file. Open the client; I suspect the task will say it is Client Mode and not Full Mode. Delete the current task, change to Full Mode, and create a new task.

I was already in Full Mode but I still deleted it and recreated the task. "Update Guide Now" worked great. I'll monitor tomorrow and report back.

So you must have had a very old task when the mxf file used to located in the root folder of epg123. It would have logged as such in the trace.log file but I see in that part of my code the logger hasn't been initialized yet which is why you didn't see anything. If the 'Update Guide Now' worked, your task will work since all the demanded update does is run the task.

Scheduled task worked great today. But I saw another user had a similar problem and you put out a new version. So I installed that and deleted/created a new task. It should be fine. Thanks!
