OK, I understand your dilemma. Would it be possible to at least put out a warning that some values in the LIL file do not match with current channel names, and then list those discrepancies. The current situation is that it just displays "0 channels updated" (or something like that). Even better wou...

In Australia over the last few months several terrestrial broadcasters have added new channels and reallocated existing channels to different program content. The menu option 35 to update the LIL file will add all the new channels, however a problem occurs when an existing channel is given a new nam...

If you go into the info menu (Menu ? Info from any SmartEPG view), there is the list of scanned transponders and what SE thinks if it has seen all the data..... I suppose the info is the same as in SE_SystemReport.log. I have looked at the last weeks' contents from the backups, and all say 100% for...

Hello, I am having a problem with SE V6.0b (and possibly older) where some future programs "go missing" For example, all channels are scanned one day (at 04:30) and I see 7 days programs in each channel. The next day, I notice that data for one LCN only extends to 2 days, although the other LCNs for...

You (the SE developers) have clearly looked at this in a lot of detail, and i suppose there must be reasons why Topfield themselves have not fixed it. Since there are options to merge adjoining recordings, then the TAP already has code for identifying these instances. Would it be possible to have an...

What do you mean with "padding" - is it the extra time before an after then recording? yes - I think the Deutsch is "vorlauf" and "nachlauf" Or you could allow combining the consecutive timers. So there will be only one recording and chase-play should work. This gives other problems. For example, s...

OK, thanks, So is there a workaround that does not totally remove any padding? For example, I have a search that records multiple programs in one week and some days it is followed by others recordings. So removing padding completely is not a good option for the days it is not followed by another rec...

Hello, I have posted in the Whirlpool Australian forum about a problem two users are finding with chase-play . The symptom is that trying to chase-play a current recording sometimes fails, and the toppy will only jump to live . Rewind or skipping back is not possible. There are a few red-herrings in...

Just a short update:
Firebird has sent me a modified TAP and it looks like it is working properly, although there are still one or two small oddities.
I am giving it a thorough workout.

It should contain a long chain of text entries and you should be able to find file names, folder names and EPG data. If this should be in a file named FileText.db, the file is not present at all. Maybe you can give this TAP a go and send me the result (FIS_Test.tgz) by mail. Done, and sent to the e...

It may show this only for the very first start of SE after a fresh installation. During the first installation it repeated the "found inconsistency" error messages over 4 days, usually (always?) after resuming from standby. And after making several recordings. For the time of the second installatio...

Thanks Alex, Yes, I did the TAPtoDate repair to get the fonts back, but forgot about WinSCP's habit of caching directory listings for a session, so it still showed the fonts folder as empty. I found a backup copy of the fonts on my pc. But I still think there may be something wrong with my reinstall...

Hello, I recently had some problems with Australian logos, fixed thanks to Firebird and Mike. But it seems my installation has more serious problems. Background: 7170 model, free-to-air only. about 5 months old. It has just returned from having its 3rd HDD installed, so I have a freshly reset system...
