EPG not updating except after restart

Post by dutch_boontje » 30 Jun 2021, 12:44

Hi,

I managed to have a EPG working provided via M3U-playlist and provisioning.

After a restart/reboot of the device all date (provisioning,Playlist and EPG) are fetched.
Also I see the provisioning and M3U-playlist is updated every period.

Standing the device running a for days Provisioning and Playlists are updated.
But EPG is not updated/refreshed. ??

At this moment I get the EPG updated every restart/reboot of my TVIP device only.

- Is there a valid way to get the EPG updated automatically ?

my config data:

Code: Select all

==== tvip_provision.xml : example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!-- Updating every 1 hour -->
<provision reload="3600">

  <!-- Switch on provisioning -->
  <provision_server name="https://<some server>" force="true" />
  ....
  <!-- Download M3U playlist and TV program -->
  <tv_protocols default="m3u">
    <protocol type="m3u" m3u="http://<some server>/prov/tvip_playlist.m3u" force="true" />
  </tv_protocols>
  ...
</provision> 

==== tvip_playlist.m3u : example 1 channel
#EXTM3U url-tvg="https://<some server>/epg-guide.xml" format="mpegts" refresh="300"
#
#EXTINF:-1 channel-number="1" tvg-id="710.dvb.guide" group-title="Transponder1" ,NPO 1
udp://239.1.4.100:1234
...

==== epg-guide.xml : example 1 channel, 1 entry
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE tv SYSTEM "xmltv.dtd">
<tv generator-info-name="dvb-epg-gen">
...
<channel id="710.dvb.guide">
        <display-name>NPO 1;KPN</display-name>
</channel>
....
<programme channel="710.dvb.guide" start="20210630021500 +0200" stop="20210630025000 +0200">
        <title lang="nl">NOS Journaal</title>
        <desc lang="nl">Met het laatste nieuws, gebeurtenissen van nationaal en internationaal belang en de weersverwachting.</desc>
        <crid type='item'>epgdata.tv/04d825fa-e982-4e4a-8405-e3107a0a0ecd#2017c1df-2060-4642-9068-d9afad51f331</crid>
</programme>
...
</tv>
Looking forward to any suggestions.
