DVB-S how to know EPG is working

Thu, 05/02/2009 - 11:24 — dalfor

As always, I really appreciate the hard work that you have put into Megaepg! Very much appreciated!!

My question is how can I know that the EPG is being downloaded via the DVB-S stream? After installing the new build I still had to download the epg from the internet via the megaepg scripts. I conducted the "dvbtest --yes" script and saw that the epg downloaded successfully. In addition, I changed the ini file to "automceupdate=1" under the global settings.

After all of this, I still did not see a change to the EPG guide. Do I need to change any other parameters to see the EPG?

I am running Vista SP1 with a Hauppauge Nova S-Plus and am a YES subscriber.

Thanks again!

Did you choose the dvb

Did you choose the dvb script? What does the log file say? Send me the log file if you're confused.

It does work when I run the dvbtest --yes.

Does this happen in the

Does this happen in the latest version 1.3.1?

If yes, use megaepg.exe instead (not the windowed version megaepgw) till I figure out the issue.
