EPG Search Finds items in the past

[af123]

Be that as it may, the custom WebIF EPG needs to take it into account (not trying to teach you to suck eggs) and avoid displaying old data.

I sometimes find it useful to be able to look back to the start of the day but it does seem that at least two people have stale data in their databases. I'll make the change for the next release.

I did a rm epg.dat and waited for it to return, Then I got this :-

humax#
humax# epg first
1312156800
humax#
humax# epg last
1323302220
humax#
humax#

Same as before

Same as before

That's not altogether surprising because the Humax software is most likely maintaining an in-memory EPG and updating it from the broadcast stream, then periodically flushing it to disk.

I'm not sure how important it is to get rid of the old entries... If you want to then the easiest way is probably to stop the humax software (make sure it isn't recording first!) then remove the database and reboot.

humax# /etc/init.d/S90settop shut
humax# rm /mnt/hd1/dvbepg/epg.dat
humax# reboot

As I said, I'll make the webif ignore old data in the next update too.

Sorry for the delay (People insist on using it a TV Tuner ! !)

Did this :-

humax# /etc/init.d/S90settop shut
humax# rm /mnt/hd1/dvbepg/epg.dat
humax# reboot

Re established Telnet session, Then checked for newly created epg.dat but it wasn't present, Waited 10 Mins and epg.dat is back, Then :-

humax#
humax# epg first
1322697600

humax#
humax# epg last

Thanks for the help, A Brilliant service as always
