EPG Not Displaying in Live TV (TVHeadend)
#1
Hello,

I have a common issue across 5 installations of XBMC around the house with the EPG in "Live TV" displaying nothing. (TV from TVHeadend)
- 3 builds are running XBMC 12.2 XBMCbuntu.
- 1 is running latest stable Raspbmc
- 1 is a Pivos Xios (M3) running the latest linux port version on the Pivos website

EPG in Live TV shows nothing, never has, on any installation.
I am sure the issue is NOT at the TVHeadend server side, as when I add the HTSP connection as a video source, each channel entry displays the current playing program correctly etc.
However when I go into EPG or the Channel list in "Live TV" I never get anything.

If I "Reset the EPG database" while running XBMC verbose I see the EPG data scanned in on the CLI, see below examples:
Code:
channelId (S64) = 3
start (S64) = 1386377919
stop (S64) = 1386381530
title (STR) = "Working With Dangerous Animals"
description (STR) = "On any given day across the country, a dedicated group of zoo keepers, scientists, researchers and sports people are required to work with animals that, without proper care, could cause serious injury"
contentType (S64) = 3
nextEventId (S64) = 49611
seq (S64) = 3
channelId (S64) = 4
start (S64) = 1386376200
stop (S64) = 1386379800
title (STR) = "SKINN by Dimitri James"
description (STR) = "SKINN by Dimitri James - The skincare revolution is coming to TVSN! Dimitri James flips the cosmetic industry on its head by putting more money into product development and not packaging and costly advertising campaigns."

channelId (S64) = 5
start (S64) = 1386376899
stop (S64) = 1386379236
title (STR) = "Stonedine"
description (STR) = "Stonedine"
ext_text (STR) = "The culinary revolution that brings the unbeatable flavour of cooking with stone into your home."

seq (S64) = 5
channelId (S64) = 6
start (S64) = 1386370800
stop (S64) = 1386379884
title (STR) = "Henry VIII And His Six Wives (1972)"
description (STR) = "Henry VIII And His Six Wives "
ext_text (STR) = "On his deathbed, King Henry VIII looks back over his eventful life and his six marriages. (Keith Michell, Donald Pleasance, Jane Asher, Charlotte Rampling)
Keith Michell;Donald Pleasence;Jane Asher;Charlotte Rampling;"
contentType (S64) = 1
nextEventId (S64) = 48575
seq (S64) = 6
channelId (S64) = 7
start (S64) = 1386370800
stop (S64) = 1386381600
title (STR) = "The Ashes: Second Test - Australia V England"
description (STR) = "Day 3 - Morning Session"
ext_text (STR) = "Live from Adelaide Oval, the Second Test. We've drawn first blood. Can Australia turn up the heat and continue to push the home advantage for a second win? Join out hosts Bill Lawry, Mark Taylor, Ian Healy, Mark Nicholas for all the action."
contentType (S64) = 4
nextEventId (S64) = 37545
seq (S64) = 7
channelId (S64) = 8
start (S64) = 1386376215
stop (S64) = 1386378015
title (STR) = "Pyramid"
description (STR) = "Pyramid"
ext_text (STR) = "Pyramid is a fun, fast-paced game show the whole family can enjoy. Two teams go head to head in a competition to describe a series of simple objects, places or things, without actually using the object's name."
contentType (S64) = 5
nextEventId (S64) = 48578
seq (S64) = 8

Yet still, when I go into Live TV, I get absolutely nothing in relation to program information.

I have checked the timezone settings and all the little things like that I see had caused others issues with EPGs, but all fine there.
As it is happening on 5 builds, I don't see how it can be something I have done on each build and since I see the channel info scan in and it ONLY seems to effect "Live TV", I don't see how it's the server.
That said, I am also perplexed about why no one else has reported this issue (at least that I can find) if it was an XBMC issue.
TVHeadened server is also up to date.

If it makes any difference at all I am on the east coast of Australia.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
