Hi,
I used to use freesat diff patch to get the 10 day schedule from UK Freesat (BSkyB 28.2E), but seems its not been supported much for a while so I wonder what others are using?

Somebody updated the patch a few months ago with complete tables embedded in the code instead of loaded as separate files.
Has eepg been updated to support Freeview HD and fix the memory leak?

Good question, eepg create it's own file on conf directory , not seen memory leak but did not spend my life on Freesat channels I report it works even for channels like ITV HD, Channel 4 HD or BBC HD on 28.2E, it is more simple than patching vdr itself (even with internal huffman coded tables)

Yes, it worked well enough apart from the problems I mentioned above. But the original maintainer hasn't commented on those and apparently the code isn't in a very good state for someone else to take over.
Someone raised the possibility of rewriting the patch as a plugin, which I would like, but I don't know how to write VDR plugins.

The current git version of eepg tends to crash on me at least one if not twice a day with vdr-2.0.0, after it used to work well for several weeks. I do not know what changed the behaviour, since I cannot find any useful crash dump... BTW, where is the most current freeview patch?
Cheers, Lucian
I use eepg as well, although for a different provider. It's been very stable for me without any crashes since git from Dec 2012. I also haven't noticed any memory leak. The only downtime I've had has been when updating VDR every time a new version is released.
If you do know of a real problem with the current git of eepg, why not contact the author?

Well, the only indications that the plugin might have a problem is that the crash is gone when no longer loading the plugin, and a log entry before the crash, that a Sky.DE channel is renamed to something, and the next crash if I remember well, back "from something" to the other name. And I actually do not watch Sky.DE as I don't have a subscription, I'm using the eepg plugin for the BBC and other FTA british channels I occasionaly watch, but I also have 2 tuner cards, seems that it happens while one of them switches channels in the background. I will try to get the log entries again and then open a ticket...
Regards, Lucian

Try to get a backtrace for him if you can. I use eepg on several boxes with most having multiple cards each and all is well here. Maybe the author will see this thread and chime in as well.

Same problem here. I dumped the plugin in favor to the patch, which worked flawlessly ever since.
BTW, where is the most current freeview patch?
Ever since vdr-1.7.35 I've used this patch (see attachment). It should apply cleanly to the most recent vdr version.
I think I originally downloaded it from here: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board16-video-disk-recorder/board55-vdr-plugins/p10...

Hi!
Is anyone using this patch with Sky Italia? It doesn't work for me.
Also with Sky UK, I have full epg for many channels, but missing for some. For example ITV1 has 7 days epg, but ITV2-4 have none.
This patch looked so promising at first, but now I'm thinking of changing back to LoadEPG plugin.. 14.4.2013 11.35 "André Weidemann" Andre.Weidemann@web.de kirjoitti:

This is the version I use. I don't know whether its newer/better than the one Andre posted this morning, but I'm pretty sure the tables in this one are complete, and they have been embedded into the C code instead of having to be loaded as separate files.
Hi!
Your patch is slightly broken, perhaps when emailing? There are a few missing lines in the huffman tables.
I compared these two patches, your version seems to be better otherwise, but I took the tables from the other patch.. Works fine now.
However, I have another issue. I need to clone EPG for a few channels. EEPG and LoadEpg plugins have the .equiv files for this, but this patch obviously doesn't
I tried copying with epgfixer plugin, which should do the trick. However, VDR seems to crash always when it's receiving EPG data for these channels.. So there is some weird incompatibility with epgfixer! I have been using epgfixer successfully earlier. Perhaps epgfixer gets unencoded raw data before the huffman decoding? The crash is inside libc, which would suggest to some string manipulating functions perhaps..

Hi I made a small perl script to copy epg from one channel to another, just modifying some other script i had found around. It's attached if you want to try it, you simply use it like this (e.g. from a cron job):
cpepg.pl S13.0E-318-12400-8511 T-318-1-3401
