Getting very few channels updating now, how to fix this?

[sdowney717]

Here is the log, some channels do have guide data, many dont. I tried updating to latest epg123, but has not helped.
It had been working fine, something changed.

Also lost the small EPG123 icon on the WMC homepage.

You did not setup WMC to use EPG123 properly. You are currently using the rapidly dying MS/Rovi guide.

If you open the client, select the EPG123 lineup on the right pulldown, and click the Match by: [# Number] button... you should then have guide listings. You will probably lose all your scheduled recording requests though, so you will need to check those.

A quick way to get your recording requests converted is to create a [Backup] in the client and then open the transfer tool. Open that newly created backup and you will be able to convert and transfer the requests.

Any entry on the right side that is a salmon color should be removed. Select those entries, right-click, and select 'Cancel'.

I'm quoting myself from this thread: viewtopic.php?f=99&t=12920&p=139079#p139052

For the status logo, you didn't lose it. It will just be hidden while you move the mouse (the controls at the bottom appear).

Thanks, yes, I figured that out. Went to guide data info and it said ROVI. Why did it switch?, dont know, it had been ok.
I got it working by running thru TV setup again, rejecting the MS Rovi guide, then reran epg123 save and execute.
I will recheck for recording show schedules. AFAIK, there are not too many.

You are not using EPG123 guide data, you have been using Microsoft/Rovi guide data which is currently ending on 3/20.

You can either follow the install instructions to properly install EPG123, or you can follow this (which will result in having many useless search categories, Rovi data still in your database (although not used), and perhaps other issues).
