EPG guide not loading

#1

Post by rpohara » Wed Sep 26, 2018 1:48 am

Everything was fine last night, but today the guide is completely empty. My subscription with Schedules Direct is up to date. Attempting to reload the guide produces the message "Download Complete" about 10 seconds after requesting the download, and the guide is still empty.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Bob O'Hara

The [Get Latest Guide Listings] button in WMC does absolutely nothing when using EPG123... it is only for the MS/Rovi source.

If you open EPG123 and click the [Save & Execute], do you get your guide information back?

That is great news, but we need to address why the updates weren't happening in the first place (unless you want to manually update every day).

It looks like your scheduled task is not setup to import the guide data into WMC. Take a look at the guide and follow the instructions to setup a scheduled task with the 'Automatically import...' feature enabled (EPG123 Configuration GUI) and/or 'Full Mode' selected (EPG123 Client GUI).
