Live TV Guide "current time" not updating and channel not starting.

Post by speedmeup »

In the following log there were two problems. I will try to isolate them in future but they are
  • Regularly when displaying the guide, an earlier "current time" is displayed. For example if I earlier opened the guide at 8am and then opened it again at 8pm the guide for 8am is still displayed until I exit the guide and opened it again. This seems to refresh and show the guide at the correct current time.
  • Sometime channels do not start. In this log I made a couple of attempts to select a channel from the guide but they both failed and returned to the guide without starting playing the channel. I quit/closed the MrMC application entirely in AppleTV and then reloaded it and the channel immediately loaded fine from the guide.
Hopefully the log is helpful. There do seem to be quite a few errors. Thanks

Is there any way to check what might be happening in these cases please? The often stale TV guide is particularly frustrating for WAF. Many thanks.

Not an easy thing to track, let’s see if the full debuglog has anything.

Make sure you capture the log after the issue has started happening.

I enabled debug logging, waited for the problem to happen, tried to upload the debug log but it just stays at "Log not uploaded". I tried 3 times. Is there a better way to get the log?
