[IPTV] no epg data in some channels.

Added by none none over 4 years ago

Hi,

I'm using tvh 4.2.8 (snap) on ubuntu 18.04 to watch IPTV from my internet/iptv provider. It works reasonably well, but only about the half of the channels have EPG data. If I use the settop box of the internet provider all channels have EPG data. Unfortunately the tvh log shows any error message, so I have no idea whats going wrong. Could someone please point me to a direction to find more information, why some channels have EPG data and other don't.

PD I also tried the latest build of tvh and the apt version, but without any improvements regarding this issue.

Thank you,

tuxiano

You don't mention how/where you are obtaining EPG data.

Hi, yes you are right. Since I did no manual configuration I guess tvh is using the internal OTA epg grapper.

Kind regards

Your original message says "I'm using tvh 4.2.8 (snap) on ubuntu 18.04 to watch IPTV from my internet/iptv provider."

And you "guess" you're getting epg OTA?

It's unlikely that whatever OTA epg you're getting magically includes epg data for the IPTV you're using.

Does your internet/iptv provider not provide epg?

Hi,

I checked it and two epg grabber modules are enabled:
- Over-the-air: EIT: DVB Grabber
- Over-the-air: PSIP: ATSC Grabber

I added two screenshots of a channel with EPG and a channel without EPG data.

Both use the same source (privder).

Thank you and kind regards

epg.png (48.5 KB) epg.png channel, which has epg data
no_epg.png (48.2 KB) no_epg.png channel, which has no epg data

Record 2 minutes of stream without epg, and upload to somewere to try analyze.

Hi Sean,

thank you for the tip. I did not know, that vlc has an integrated EPG viewer. I checked both channels: The channel with EPG data shows also EPG information in vlc and the channel without EPG data in tvh, also shows no EPG data in vlc. So, its not an tvh issue. I assume, the settop box uses a different source to receive the EPG data, but I don't know which is the source... Any ideas?

Kind regards
