Large gaps using hot_he script

First, i would like to thanks for the very usefull program.

My problem is that there are large gaps in the EPG in some of the channels starting from today. i attached the log so you can see the problem.

I am not sure if it is HOT's problem or something with my installation. Please advice.

thanks.

Large gaps using hot_he script

Hi,
I solved the problem by clearing the cache before downloading the EPG.
Therefore, i think that there is some kind of a bug in MegaEPG that cause it when there is cache... (It is obviously not the EPG's provider fault). Meanwhile, I will not use the cache while downloading the EPG.

Thanks,
Oren.

What type of cache did you

What type of cache did you use: Always or Always except today?

I used: "always" use cache

and to solve the problem I am now using "never" use cache. It take much more time to download all the channels and I have the risk that HOT will have temporary problems with their epg, but it works.
Any idea what went wrong with the caching system?

I'd suggest using "Always

I'd suggest using "Always except today". It will speed up the downloading but will always refresh the guide for today.

Yes, but

Yes, but as you can see it have a problem with the previous cache from time to time and only clearing the cache (manually or using the software) helps. Until the bug will be fixed I can not use the "always except today" method.
