RS: EPG returning previous transmission dates & Auto keeps finding them.

[Dave F.]

In an EPG search Both 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Our Man Bashir' and 'The Escape Artist' are listing old broadcast dates going back to June.
Do I need to refresh/update the EPG? If so, how?

Note: This doesn't occur on the Webif EPG.

I've set up an 'Auto' for both.
'Matching Events' returns the old dates. Notification emails give:

The Escape Artist
David Tennant is the brilliant lawyer in this shockingly twisty thriller. A barrister who excels in getting clients out of tight legal spots discovers the fallout could be deadly.

Only a suggestion, but try WebIF >> Diagnostics >> Run Diagnostic >> epgrange.

Only a suggestion, but try WebIF >> Diagnostics >> Run Diagnostic >> epgrange.

Forgot to add that the the list:

Running: epgrange
Tue Oct 6 01:00:00 BST 2026
Wed Oct 14 00:55:00 BST 2026


To check: Are Webif & RS EPGs run from the same database> If so it suggests it may not be a database problem?

Only a suggestion, but try WebIF >> Diagnostics >> Run Diagnostic >> epgrange.

RS doesn't necessarily source its EPG details from the same box that the user (in this example Dave F.) owns.

What region are you in (as shown at top of RS page)?

I am in South and RS EPG search only shows future episodes when searching for "Deep Space" and no programmes with Bashir in name
Also no occurrences of "The Escape Artist"

Region: West

'Our Man Bashir' is part of the descriptions

I'm guessing, but go into the command line interface of you Humax and enter
rs epg offer

That may fill the gaps, but even if it did, the old entries may still be there.


I have had this happen to me earlier this year, but I went away and did something else and totally forgot about it till today. When it happened to me it was fine when I next tried a search on RS. I.e. have another go tomorrow.

 

[MymsMan]

Probably a corrupt RS epg database for the West region, possibly updating from a user without of date broken epgrange
Unfortunately @af123 is the only one who can fix AFAIK if it doesn't fix itself tomorrow

Might help if you said explicitly what you were searching for.
I'm in the West region and tried a couple of things without any problem.

 

[Dave F.]

I'm guessing, but go into the command line interface of you Humax and enter
rs epg offer

rs epg offer
Tue Oct 6 21:51:10 2026 + Negotiating EPG transfer for net 12346 (West)

Tue Oct 6 21:51:10 2026 0 entries found.
...
Tue Oct 6 21:51:13 2026 No EPG data to send.

I guess that's not good


Slight change since I first posted - I'm not getting any returned programs in RS's EPG but still getting them in Auto's Matching Events
