Foxsat EPG not being processed.

[Peso]

Hello folks

Got a blip in service I’m not sure how to go about fixing.

3 Foxsat HDRs, I’ve just noticed, have no current EPG data in the CFW and thus in the RS.
The one box connected to a telly has its on screen listing.

All boxes state this at the bottom of its epg page.
“Displaying EPG Data from (Thu August 18 2022 03:03).
New EPG data has been found and is being processed. This should be completed within five minutes.”
It’s now August 27 and lot more than 5 minutes have passed.

The log file reads

10	254 EPG event(s) copied from Freesat to non-Freesat
9	254 EPG event(s) copied from Freesat to non-Freesat
8	18 EPG event(s) copied from Freesat to non-Freesat
7	Error. epgnew.db file size too small. Probably corrupt.
6	254 EPG event(s) copied from Freesat to non-Freesat
5	256 EPG event(s) copied from Freesat to non-Freesat
4	81 EPG event(s) copied from Freesat to non-Freesat
3	Error. epgnew.db file size too small. Probably corrupt.
2	0 EPG event(s) copied from Freesat to non-Freesat
1	Error. epgnew.db file size too small. Probably corrupt.

Then pages of “EPG event(s) copied from Freesat to non-Freesat”

How does one jump start the Foxsat’s epg processing please? Just delete epgnew.db?

Thanks to anyone who has a minute to spare me.

I’ve just found some instructions on the Help documents on the HDR’s custom firmware under FAQ’s.
Let me just finish this coffee in front of me and I’ll go give it go.

Nothing will work. It's a recent bug and known about. A fix has been made and tested by adrianf36 over on AVForums.

It needs the epg package update placing into the Repository by persons who have the access rights to do that. Then we'll all have to do a package update, manually.

Watch this space - and/or the AVForums thread https://www.avforums.com/threads/me...e-foxsat-hdr-release-4-part-6.2024876/page-26

Thank you Rodders53 for the information.
The passion and support for this box is always pleasing.
Time to donate to the PayPal thingy on the RS webpage again me thinks.

Version 1.9.0 of the epg package is now available in the repository, thanks to @adrianf36

Thanks, love, respect, salute and a fruity wink to all who have made this fix possible.
There is hope for humanity, despite the daily headlines suggesting differently.
