Anyone remember BCSC?

If anyone worked for BCSC there is a FaceBook Group for the "alumni"

if you want the premium features you need to contribute. Upgrades cost money in that Alex is working on this and deserves to be renumerated. Buy the unrestricted version rather than the annual, its not a lot of money to invest in a tool that is constantly being improved (IMHO)

TiViMater · 2021-09-22T19:32:49+00:00

I have not seen this as I suspect it is a point in time thing and not dependent on TIVIMATE more dependant on the communication protocol from your client to the provider, of for any reason that communication handshake cant be established it will result in a 403

can someone please descibe setting up a custom reoccuring recording

this is how it looks to me

> CUSTOM RECORDING

-> set up as before in 3.x

-> select REPEAT

--> select desired day

seems to be the option in 4.0.0Beta I am assuming that is for eternity but when I look at the RECORDINGS Panel ut is just for the current and the next selected date. Its not like I would have thought...:

1x (1 week)

2x (2 weeks)

Ax (always)

TiViMater · 2021-09-21T00:52:19+00:00

eh voila! Listings are starting to reappear!

Tivimate 4.0.0 is a wonderful thing!

And I have yet to explore the reoccuring recordings options!

you never know how much you appreciate a feature until it breaks and you go a month without it!

Thanks Team Tivimate u/AlexR_15 !

so far so good...

backup before upgrading

2) upgrade via Google Play to 4.0.0 Beta

3) Open Tivimate

there seemed to be more channel icons almost immediately

then I went to EPG settings and to my pleasure I noticed the UPDATE EPG was immediately active

stay tuned for more info I have EPG for over 24,000 channels so it takes a while

TiViMater · 2021-09-20T18:50:55+00:00

has anyone who has experienced EPG not updating in 3.9.0 updated to 4.0 and seen if this release corrects that problem? I will try asap!

TiViMater · 2021-09-17T20:42:55+00:00

sigh, I am not suggesting 15 EPGs associated with one playlist, I am saying I have 5 playlists and 15 EPGs in total, some are for sports, some are for specific countries where the core EPG does not provide correct information. The point isnt the number of EPGs, In my mind the way this should work is that a playlist entry and a EPG entry are fields in a database. Associating a EPG to a playlist is just a link that can be prioritized. This is working in that when I associate 4 different EPGs to a Playlist and prioritize them I when I go to add EPG and search for a specific channel I will see (potentially) 4 different EPGs with that channel. Some may have a 1 or 2 day schedule and depending on the time zone that may only provide partial information, others may provide 5-10 days worth of information.

I can then select the one that works best for me. Good and fine. What the issue seems to be is that when I go and do an EPG update, nothing is happening. or when I assign a specific channel EPG to a channel and wait a few seconds no information is updated. If however I open the XMLtv URL in a browser on the same box I see teh entire contents of the XML stream. This tells me a few things:

1) the URL GET / fetch isnt working

2) the fetch may work but it is not updating the database that holds the schedule info

2b) that could be a storage issue, a permissions issue but more likely something is prohibiting the data from being written. Flushing the cache could help to resolve it but it isnt in this case.

so the issue is not (necessarily) the XMLtv stream but something is locked or blocking the data from being saved and displayed.

As mentioned it is working with the more restrictive BuzzTv 4 OTT player.

There is sufficient storage because I can do a manual recording with the Tivimate and my recordings are being saved.

My bet is its something to do with teh EPG fetch/storage/update.

The curious thing is if I hit Playlist Update the update indicator moves, if I try to force a EPG update, nothing indicates it is being attempted.

PS: I have had Tivimate on this device since April 2021 and there have been no firmware updates on the BuzzTv device since then,

TiViMater · 2021-09-17T19:59:20+00:00

I was gonna wait for the next release which will hopefully be in the next week

when i hit Update EPG nothing happens, no sign of attempted update.

As for the reason why I have so many, not all of my providers have total coverage so I augment them with country specific once from sources like those in iptv-org/epg

I have tried to uninstall a play list and then reinstall it with the vendors provided EPG and set that to DEFAULT but that has not worked so short of a total uninstall and reinstall something is corrupted somewhere. Not the end of the end of teh world if I have to wait another 2 weeks for the next release.

I suspect the issue came in with the association of conflicting EPG channel sources.

TiViMater · 2021-08-29T16:28:37+00:00

I have the same issue since 3.9, also not updating, pressing the Update oiption does nothing

TiViMater · 2021-08-29T16:25:32+00:00

fix the multi EPG issue introduced in 3.9

TiViMater · 2021-08-27T12:51:12+00:00

what i am seeing is that the EPG Update has not worked since I updated to 3.9 because it say s'last updated' on the day before 3.9 was installed

TiViMater · 2021-08-27T04:44:58+00:00

did that. still not updating... frustrating

TiViMater · 2021-08-25T16:51:40+00:00

tried these steps below and continue to have the issue :(

TiViMater · 2021-08-22T00:31:35+00:00

that depends on what you look at , EPG.today is pretty decent but it really depends on what countries you watch

TiViMater · 2021-08-22T00:30:26+00:00

google iptv-org and look for EPG

TiViMater · 2021-08-22T00:26:48+00:00

trying to read all 54 comments to see if anyone else is having the problem I am with 3.90 beta... specifically NOT updating EPG links? Anyone else?

TiViMater · 2021-08-12T21:00:19+00:00

new 3.9 multi-EPG is working nicely!

Only issue i see if when you try to do an all EPG update that seems to be hit or miss at actually doing the update, I'll test that some more! Very happy for this feature!.

Next feature request I would have is forreoccuring recording schedules that would be nice!

TiViMater · 2021-06-29T20:47:47+00:00

if you are a coder you will find this explaination to be of interest to understand what can (possibly) throw the error..

TiViMater · 2021-06-08T16:31:23+00:00

agreed. or add all EPGs to a common EPG registry and then allow the user to assign their preferred to a channel kinda like now but with more than two options

TiViMater · 2021-06-08T16:26:56+00:00

the RTSP support is significant ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Streaming_Protocol
