If anyone is using the xmltv refresh script from above you may have noticed that the EPG has defaulted to 5 days recently

I think the 14 day listing option has gone away. Change —days from 14 to 10

/opt/local/bin/tv_grab_uk_tvguide --nodetailspage --days 10

@stuartfLooks like tvguide may be dying ... the website (and the screen-scraping feeds) run out of data at the end of August.  Have been trying to get my head around SchedulesDirect but ... nightmare!

Apologies I missed a # from the first line of xmltv_refresh.sh

 

should be 

#!/bin/bash

 

See OldGoat's post above

 

@stuartf Thanks for your posts - I (belatedly) got xmltv working ... though I'm noticing that after a few days it's stopped picking up any shows for BBC Radio stations, and only does TV.  Is that the same with your setup?

My Gracenote feed of satellite channels is totally empty this morning.

And then after 20 minutes, it all starts working again ... though any interaction with Gracenote seems very slow (as if it's timing out in the background)

Some channel schedules weren't updating. I cleared EPG (big mistake) but the Update Gracenote Program Guide fails as no channels are apparently using Gracenote now.

But when I go assign channels to Gracenote, there are none to choose from, as if the API between the EyeTV3 client and Gracenote is down and not offering any channels.

Any ETA on a fix?

I have two plugged in and need support to continue 

Mostly fixed ... ten minutes after I'd converted the most important channels back to DVB

BBC One HD Northern Ireland, BBC Two HD and UTV HD still not showing anything. All back now for me

Snap!

Thank you for your feedback.

It is an technical issue. We are fixing it. We will keep you informed.

 

Which - after all these years of reporting similar issues - is the first time they've not immediately replied with a bunch of steps to delete EPG and rebuild from scratch, which has never fixed the problem until the Gracenote feed has been fixed!

Same problem on both my machines. 11am (UK time) on Jan 3 is the last programme for any Gracenote channel. I've raised a support request - but experience from before suggests this won't get a fast response.

Reverted to EyeTV 3.6.9 (7520) last night from 7522 and the same thing has already happened.

This post seems relevant too

Snap. One or more records a day fails to stop at the end of the programme, running on for four hour instead of 30 or 60 minutes. Some recordings also seem to be starting late, maybe 15 minutes late. or not at all.
