Bug #6212
UK Freeview EPG grabber timeout for HD channels
0%
Description
I’m using TVH on an AMD64 PC with Ubuntu 22.04.1.
When I upgraded TVH to 4.3-2040~g604d81a29, it cannot grab EPG data from the UK’s Freeview DVB-T2 HD channels. I had turned on the Freeview grabber but I only got this message saying timeout.
2022-10-26 10:16:00.918 epggrab: UK: Freeview - data completion timeout for BBC ONE HD in IPTV
Then I got this EPG with correct schedule for each programme but the titles are all blank.
Meanwhile previously I was using 4.2.8-36~g5bdcfd8, the Freeview grabber works well but some episode of a same series cannot be auto recorded via series link - I clicked record series on that episode and it still cannot record it.

Please provide debug logs.
Firstly I only got this from debug logs…
2022-10-27 10:10:45.327 [ DEBUG]:epggrab: grab done for BBC ONE HD in IPTV (timeout)
Then I tried to grab the EPG again it appeared to grab the data successfully

But those titles are still blank… I rolled it back to 4.2.6 and the grabber works well.

Sorry the old version I rolled back to should be 4.2.8 not 4.2.6…

Did you enable the epggrab subsystem for debug/tracing?

Yes - otherwise I won’t get these trace messages from the log…

After trying on several devices with the helps of different friends using TVH, I think the platform might be a key factor.
It worked on an MIPS device running TVH 4.3.2064, but on ARM and AMD64 devices it only got EPG with blank programme names - even it was using an old version of TVH 4.3.
All devices will work well if it’s TVH 4.2.
