Manual building tvheadend from https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend on Raspbian Buster

Hello, I downloaded the zip file under "https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend" and ran the command ./configure on my RaspberryPi3 with Raspbian Buster with...

Wolfgang Zenner

I took an old Raspi 2 and a new "Hauppauge PCTV Systems DVB-S2 Stick 461e" and enabled the 11493.75H MUX (no other) and mapped one service (arte HD) - it works perfect for the last 2 days.
That's it

That's probably the best way to debug it; gradually add more muxes and channels, then your other satellite, and see at what point your EPG disappears.

Wolfgang Zenner

Yes, I just added the three services of the mux: "Das Erste HD", "SWR RP HD" and "SWR BW HD".
Tomorrow I will add the next MUX (with all the desired services) - day by day a new MUX.

It’s sounds suspiciously like a channel id conflict when updating epg. No doubt you’ll eventually isolate the offending channel as you add more muxes.

I created my new receiver with only the muxes enabled, that I need and I only mapped the services I need. EPG works correct.

Then I changed the muxes of another receiver to disabled, that I don't need and disabled all services I don't need. EPG works correct too.

So I began to disable 10 muxes of the third receiver to see what happens. If the problem persists, I disable the next group and so on. If the problem does not persist, I will re-enable the last block one by one.
This way I hope to find the mux, that causes the problem. This takes some time for the 212 muxes I have, only the 12 muxes I use will stay enabled.

Use grouping option and see with channel have identical parameters.

Guessing some Movistar channel.

Wolfgang Zenner

Hello saen acro,
I don't know about grouping option. Where should I use it an how?

Jonas Lang

On the web UI sort the services by transponder number. You could to an xml epg grab too. You could easily inspect each channels id and epg from that too.

Wolfgang Zenner

I don't understand this - I can't find transponder number. I have Transponder Stream ID in DVB Inputs -> Muxes, its 1019, but no duplicates.
Where do I have to find what: DVB Inputs [Muxes|Seervices] | Channel / EPG [Channel | Channel Tags] ?

Jonas Lang

Just grab the epg and save it as a file. Here’s an example of how to do this. Just change the details to reflect your system. You can now inspect everything in the epg file for any possible conflicts.

wget http://tvh:9981/xmltv/channels

You can find most of these things yourself by doing a google search.

Wolfgang Zenner

Sorry, my english is not good, so I don't really know, what to google for.
Your statement did NOT extract EPG data, just the channels with its id's see attachement

Wolfgang Zenner

okay, I've seen, that EPG data is in the file too. For the moment, I get the right data for "arte HD", I will extract it again, when failed.

Jonas Lang

Yes take a “before” and “after” grab and compare the two.

Jonas Lang

Here’s a list of API functions you can use to interrogate TVH. Pay special attention to the EPG section and how to retrieve the relevant information you need from it https://github.com/dave-p/TVH-API-docs/wiki/Other-Functions

Wolfgang Zenner

I took the channels when the error was there, and after I started a record - the EPG data was immediately correted.
And now?
