After recently updating my OpenElec build from this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1587283 half the channels were missing from the EPG, although they all still were listed in the Channels list. I tried resetting the PVR database, the EPG database, disabling and re-enabling the tvheadend service and client addons to no avail.
I then went to the Web GUI and tried disabling Skip Initial Scan, Skip Service Availability Check, enabling Idle Scanning and saving and then toggling all those settings back once it had finished scanning all the muxes. That resulted in a couple of extra channels appearing in the EPG and I thought it was fixed but later realised that a lot were still missing. I then updated tvheadend to 4.1.1 and still couldn't get the EPG sorted.
At some point it got itself sorted and is currently showing all the channels but others have reported similar problems http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1587226 and it's hard to know whether the tvheadend addons or the core of OpenElec is the cause, so it would be great if we could get some feedback from the devs on this.
Another issue is that previously when trying to go backwards from the current time, it would block it and open a popup menu instead but now I'm able to scroll back to the start of the day, which is confusing. I also notice that the EPG doesn't tend to be at the current time, so that the first segment/programme is actually for a programme that's already finished and I have to move to the next block along to select/start the current programme, so if this could be changed so that the start of the EPG is always the current time that would be nice. The programme titles also only seem to "stick" to the start of their respective blocks, so that if it's a long film and it's 1/4 or 1/2 way through or more, the block for that channel/programme doesn't show any text, which is rather confusing.
