EPG correct and incorrect

Added by Paul Behrens over 7 years ago

A week ago my EPG was out by an hour on a couple of channels but was fixed by restarting the frontend (Android Kodi) which also reloaded the ota epg. I adjusted the time on the server from utc to local and +10 hours and now most of my channels are incorrect by 8 or so hours (showing future shows) but a couple of channels are still spot on. The channels that are incorrect show the same information until the show actually airs, then when I check later it is incorrect again.

Switched to xmltv (Aus) but I still have the same problem.

Tvhclient (Android) EPG gets the same incorrect EPG info.

How do I fix this without starting from scratch?

My build is about 4 weeks old.

Running v4.2.3.

This seems to be an issue with some clients see #4462.

Except its happening in 2 different clients, both showing the same incorrect EPG data. Also the server EPG is displaying the same incorrect EPG info.

Another observation - today the EPG said Show "X" was running but a show that started 1 hour later was actually on. Whilst watching this channel, I viewed the plot and it gave the information for the show that was actually on and not show "X".

This points to a server issue, I'm sure of it.

I also have similar problem.
TVH use local time UTC time and etc to set epg time.
"Sumer time" is also problem.
Sometime combination of DVB-T and DVB-S totally mess EPG time

I have just uninstalled/purged tvheadend and deleted the /home/hts folder from the server.

After reinstalling and reconfiguring tvheadend the EPG was better but still has many problems.

Problems which include: having a show simultaneously on many different channels whilst also being 10 hours out.

Also the same show is the biggest offender and is apparently always on however it is only a morning show.

Once again, this problem occurs on all clients and the server.

What is going on here?

I'm about to do a full rebuild as there are too many issues with the guide which make it impossible to know what show is actually on.

Strangely enough, my scheduled recordings are recording the correct show even though the upcoming recording says its recording a totally different show.

Does tvheadend cache EPG related data outside the /home/tvh structure? Purging and deleting that folder should have rectified this issue?

Just reinstalled Ubuntu server and reinstalled tvheadend.

SAME PROBLEM. EPG BUSTED.

started with XMLTV but most channels had no info. Changed to ota guide and all channels were populated but not much is correct. Was mainly affecting channel 9 and 7 services but now every channel is wrong (Kiewa transmitter Australia).
