Tvheadend

Descrizione

Situation: i have 3 epg grabber modules active: SkyIT OpenTV (Priority 5) XMLTV (Priority 3) EIT (Priority 1).
In most cases everything works fine. Channels that are linked with both OpenTV and XMLTV EPG presents OpenTV guide as expected due to high module priority, but there are some channels in which the EPG from OpenTV is empty ( title and description are equal to the channel's name) this because the provider doesn't populate EPG for these channels.

For only these channel it would be better to get data from XMLTV. To get this one could switch OpenTV priority with XMLTV but in this way all channels will present XMLTV instead of OpenTV and we don't want this: Not a good solution.
OR
going to Channels/EPG>Channels and un-link opentv from these particular channels (so leave only XMLTV source): this solution doesn't work because tvheadend re-link opentvepg to that channels on next OTA epg scan and so applies openTV (pseudo empty) guide.
OR
going to Channels/EPG>EPG grabber Channels and deactivate opentv module corresponding to these "empty guide channels": this solution doesn't work because while tvheadend does not link opentv as described above opentv is relinked in any case and it still presents openTV epg on "Electronic Program Guide".

Please fix this behavior: one expects that if a single openTV epg module is deactivated and un-linked leaving only XMLTV tvheadend should present the only linked epg source.

Thanks

Could you do a test with v4.3-508-ge16f5ecad ? Only first step should disable the EPG grabber (turn off enabled field).

Just compiled Tvheadend 4.3-508~ge16f5ecad unfortunately it doesn't work:
Step:
1 disable the enable field
2 relaunch ota trigger
after the scan the module is still linked to the channel

Manually un-linking and re-trying same behavior

If is needed i can provided logs: (please let me know what system to debug and what subsystem to track)
thank again for your time!

If you turn enabled field off, does the channel field become empty (in the EPG Grabber Channels grid)?

If you manually refresh the channels grid, does the 'EPG Source' list the turned off item?

Thanks for your interest
Yes becomes empty but on next ota scan it re-link the module.
A little video to show it better: according to "an image worth a thousand words"
Minute 0:44 opentv: opentv-skyit: channels complete

Thanks again
PS:
NOT directly related, while i could end the video at 0:50 i keep the recording on to show you another problem that came to light: openTV grabber never terminate the subscription until it reaches+ OTA timeout+:
should it unsubscribe and release the tuner after opentv: opentv-skyit: titles complete? (should i open a second issue)
