Mythtv 0.27 Frodo : Can watch Live TV but missing EPG guide data - lurkingsheep - 2013-12-07
I cannot, for the life of me, get EPG data to populate the xbmc guide. I get the channel numbers and can watch TV via the HDHomerun Prime but cannot get guide data.
I had TVHeadend EPG working before I tried Mythtv. I wanted to switch to Mythtv because I'm in the US and had a lot of trouble with TVHeadend QAM encryption via Verizon Fios. Mythtv, seems to work great, except no guide data.
I have tried the following actions:
1. XBMC GUI: Live TV settings: Reset both PVR database and EPG databases.
2. Manually deleted userdata/Databases EPG7.db and TV22.db
3. "mythfilldatabase --grab-all" successfully completes without errors
4. Configured "tv_grab_na_dd --configure" both as mythtv user as well as my own account.
5. Configured "mythtv-setup" General settings to automatically update EPG and all Source and Inputs.
The XBMC log does not appear to indicate an issue. No warnings, nothing.
Tech Specs:
Running Frodo 12.2 on Ubuntu 13.04
Using Schedules Direct
My XBMC Mythtv PVR Client 0.27 provided by user nickr:

Again, via the Mythtv PVR client, I get all the channel numbers and watch live TV via the HDHomerun Prime but cannot get EPG guide data.
I appreciate your help in advance. Any suggestions?

Does mythfrontend and/or mythweb have epg?
RE: Mythtv 0.27 Frodo : Can watch Live TV but missing EPG guide data - lurkingsheep - 2013-12-07
Hi nickr,
Actually, i dont have either installed. I'm just only as a backend. Is there a way via command line to tell if mythtv has EPG without having to install the frontend?
Thanks for the quick reply

Yes look in the mythtv database.
Code:
mysql -h backend -u mythtv -p mythconverg
select * from programRE: Mythtv 0.27 Frodo : Can watch Live TV but missing EPG guide data - lurkingsheep - 2013-12-07

I believe I have EPG data in the mythtv backend database. It is in the following format:

Yes epg data seems to be there. A further check: You will need mythweb to schedule recordings anyway. Install it and check listings show up as expected.
RE: Mythtv 0.27 Frodo : Can watch Live TV but missing EPG guide data - lurkingsheep - 2013-12-08
Sorry for the delay.
Yes. I installed Mythweb and I have a full listing guide. Looks nice actually.
I forgot to mention that both XBMC and Mythtvbackend are installed on the same server.
Thanks

OK well I am not sure why epg is not showing up in xbmc. It does for me. Perhaps a debug log would assist?

I'm having the same issue with Gotham Alpha 11 and .27. I'll post a debug when I get home. I am not getting guide data on my raspberry pi's either (I think they're alpha 9 builds (rbej custom build from 10/2)), which would point to mythbackend being the cause of the break. I'm running the backend on Ubuntu 13.10 and everything is up to date.
When I get a chance I'll post both xbmc logs and a mythbackend log.

I have the same issue with the latest Gotham monthly build and MythTV .27.
EPG (via schedules direct) works fine in MythFrontEnd but doesn't show in XBMC and sometimes actually crashes XBMC when i try to look at the EPG there.
Any ideas other than waiting for the next monthly and hoping?
