or just fix in in the tvtv.us ini

add this anywhere after the index_title.scrub and index_subtitle.scrub lines are.
the title and subtitle have to have a value before u can check anything...

loop{('index_title' "Movie" max=1)|1}
index_title.modify {set('index_subtitle' not "")|'index_subtitle'}
index_subtitle.modify {clear('index_title')}

Holy support-gods you guys are awesome. Not only immediate support for TVGF, also for WG++ too. Thank you! Everything is working better than expected now and after a few months (I am new to kodi as of back in Nov) I have an iron clad complete working Kodi TV guide that is better than [redacted] could ever be. Which from my research is not rare but not 100% newbie easy.

Ill report back as I test things out, finish up my own custom build I'm working on [redacted items of course], and other items I'm sure. Thanks again. Once I reverse this a bit more I will try to contribute to this project as well (dev/script/engineering background).

Hi primaeval. Would you have any idea why TVGF hasn't been removing old program data for me when it loads a new grab? For several weeks now I've noticed that source.db files keep getting larger and larger with each update. I checked the oldest programs in my guide before and after updating today. After the update I found the programs are still being shown all the way back to the 1st programs listed in the guide before the update.

Have you been manually modifying the tables in the database?
There are some cascade triggers in the default tables that cause old program data to be deleted.

Hello and thank you for this amazing addon!!!

I recently reset everything on my TVGUIDE fullscreen, and when it reloaded many of the logos have not re-appeared. I have the logos in a separate folder and they displayed perfectly before so I am unsure why they would disappear. None of my settings have changed and my channel list is the same. I tried clearing the thelogo.db and re-downloading it but to no avail.

So my question is: Do you have an idea as to why the logos would have disappeared on a reset and not reloaded when they appeared before the reset properly on the same channels?

Is there some way to force the logos to re-load in the guide?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

There are lots of settings that affect how channel logos are displayed or not.
I think you'll have to pm me a copy of your settings.xml, xmltv file and logos folder.

Thank you for your prompt response. I figured it out when I went to archive my logos folder to send to you. Somehow it had corrupted. I deleted it and restored from my backup and now all is working.

Sorry to bother you.

Thanks

There are some cascade triggers in the default tables that cause old program data to be deleted.        

I actually took that into consideration when I tested it this time p. Three days ago I renamed the default 28,757 KB source.db with  notifications that, yes, I had deleted a few entries in (I was going to ask you about that), renamed xmltv.xml (though I wasn't sure if that was necessary), and ran TVGF to have it create a 'virgin' 19,402 KB db file containing no notifications or linked URLs. I renamed that to source.raw.db, then restored the names of the originals.

Yesterday I ran a new grab and let TVGF update. The 28,757 KB source.db jumped to 33,153 KB.

Then I renamed the default source.db, made a copy of source.raw.db, and renamed it source.db. Deleted (or renamed) the new xmltv.xml and ran TVGF again. That 19,402 KB db file with 'virgin' tables jumped to 23,745 KB.  Then when I ran TVGF and scrolled the EPG back to the earliest programs listed, they were the same as they were before the update.

EDIT: BTW, the size of the updated xmltv.xml grab had actually dropped from 24,938 KB to 22,422 KB.

It was from that change I made to allow notifications from channels that aren't there any more.
I've changed it back in 0.17.445 so old programs should get deleted but it might need you to clear out notifications without current channels.

That made a big difference. A 17,506 KB 'raw' source.db file I made before updating today is listed as a 17,509 KB file after the update. Funny the size actually increased by 3 KB when the last xmltv.xml was 22,422 KB and the new 19,989 KB. Also booted TVGF, scrolled back the  EPG and confirmed the program data from the last xmltv.xml had been removed.

Hello.  I am having a problem and I hope you can help me.  When I scroll down the channel list pretty fast and reach the last channel on a page to flip over to the next channel page (in my cases I am displaying 10 channels per page) I find the screen freezing a lot of the time.  Instead of going to the next channel page I get a pause and the page I am on overlays with "Loading data from external source" and below that it reads "Calculating time remaining." There is also the rotating circle visible to the left.  Yet, my current page is still showing as well.  It does not matter how long I wait at this screen, it never goes to the next channel page.  If I go beyond the last channel slower by pausing on channel 10 for a biit and then going down the problem occurs less often, but it does also happen sometimes then as well.  The only way to get out of it is by shutting the computer down or alternatively use CTRL-ALT-DEL on a Windows machine and use TASK MANAGER to End Task.  This has been a problem for some time now, but I never brought it up.  I thought I could fix the behavior by going into TVGF's settings and turning a few things off. Whatever I try, nothing works, though.  Have you seen this behavior before?  Is there something I can do on my end to fix it?

Thanks,

George

It could be an issue with system resources. It happened to me occasionally on a Windows 7 system with an old bloated copy of Kodi. I don't know if there's anything you can do besides just being careful scrolling. You might try making a new copy of Kodi with just the minimal addons you need to run TVGF and see if that helps.

As for Kodi locking up, if you have a Windows system copy this to a text file, name it something like Kill-Kodi.bat, and put it on your desktop for quick access:

TASKKILL /F /IM kodi.exe:
TASKKILL /F /IM kodi.exe

One of my providers changed their epg xmltv source, so I went and added it to xmltv meld and selected some channels for my own xmltv file.  After I update using xmltv meld and then use TVGuide Fullscreen, the channels with epg info all come in properly at the bottom of my current list.  I then went into TVGuide Fullscreen settings and selected reset to fix the channel order based on my xmltv channel order.   When I loaded TVGuide Fullscreen after the reset, it crashes and gives a message to check settings and crashes.  I'm pasting the link to my partial log.  Starts at 21:09:05 I believe.  Any thoughts as to what might be going on?

Edit:  Seems to work now that I've done another update this morning.   Wondering if it's a foreign character issue?

Ok, think I have sorted it.  Had a british channel tg4 in my list that does have foreign characters sometimes and was causing the problem.

How do i set this up?
I keep getting "oops, sorry about that". It was not possible to load program data, because the settings are invalid.
I used zip repository.primaeval-0.0.2
I load version 0.17.445

I don't know what i need to put on the settings considering there is no provision for username or password.
This is on Kodi 17.6 both on Windows and Android.
