Why are some EPG entries empty and why does the EPG item description does not scroll? - _Michael_ - 2022-04-02
Hello (manül),
heres is a screenshot of what I mean:
Kodi_EPG_view_issues.jpg
1) The 2 orange marked rows show partly no EPG information. This was in the past (see below) not the case.
2) The orange arrow in the lower left corner: The text on the right was in the past scrolling down after some seconds, now the text is static.
How can I get back the behavior from the past? Thank you!
past: Kodi 18.x, DVBViewer_Media_Server_2.1.5.2_setup.exe
now: Kodi 19.4, DVBViewer_Media_Server_3.2.1.0_setup.exe

I assume because there's no information/EPG entry for the shown time span.

I assume you answered exclusively to 1.:
I cannot tell if this makes sense, but when I manually open (watch) the TV channel (for about 1 min) then the EPG-info is present / updated. As I already mentioned: I have not seen such EPG behavior (gaps) before and it is now "frequent" present.

Both, the DMS and the PVR update the EPG information again upon channel switch. Still, Kodi displays what EPG information is available. Older Kodi versions might have merged gaps.
Regarding 2: Kodi/the skin is responsible for the UI, including scrolling. The PVR is only fetching + pushing the data.
