Thank for the explanation.
Maybe a little in-house subscription checking might avoid future unnecessary emails.  ;)

General Discussions / IceTv expiry email
September 28, 2015, 10:34:22 AM
Just received an email advising me that my IceTv subscription will expire on 2nd of October and gives a link to a page for renewals, when in fact it doesn't expire until June 28, 2019 (confirmed in 'My Tv Recorders').

Seems a bit dodgy to me. >:(

Topfield / Re: XML data not updating
April 18, 2013, 09:18:37 PM
For those who don't know where to make the change, use the following steps.

You will need to access a file called xmltv.ini. This will be in 'ProgramFiles/Settings/EPG' in the Toppy directory. You will need to access this from an FTP client e.g. Filezilla. The file will have the following data -

[Fetch]
Host=iceguide.icetv.com.au
Path=/cgi-bin/epg/iceguide.cgi?op=xmlguide&desc_length=1500
Username=xxxxxx
Password=xxxxxx

(the username and password will actually have your username and password)


You need to change the 'Host=' line to read -

Host=remote-topfield.icetv.com.au

Save this file. Go into Justepg and change the EPG Data Source back to XMLTV WEB (if you changed this while we had the problem).
If you also disabled the Toppy settings for Icetv, then you will need re-enable it.
Go back to Justepg and reload the EPG.

Sadly, I have to go to work now, so if anyone still has problems, maybe someone else could give them a hand.  :)

Thanks Luke for 'thinking out loud'.  ;D

I'm thinking out loud here, but I wonder if the bug in JustEPG is related to same bug in the Topfield as to how it handles HTTP headers. HTTP headers can sometimes contain more information when traffic is passed through smart load-balancers. The Topfield does not like this (even though the headers conform to the standard) so we work around the Topfield bug by routing Topfield traffic (which hits remote-topfield.icetv.com.au) through an IP-only load-balancer.

To test this theory, could you please replace iceguide.icetv.com.au in the JustEPG INI file with remote-topfield.icetv.com.au?

Cheers,
Luke

WooHoo. Works like a charm.

CRAP!
Yes, it works. Well I'm running out of ideas.  :(

The plot thickens.
There is a post in the whirlpool forums where a reply from Icetv that one of the users got states that they have changed servers.
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2086966#r1

The '.INI' file that Justepg users to logon to the Icetv site is as follows

Host=iceguide.icetv.com.au
Path=/cgi-bin/epg/iceguide.cgi?op=xmlguide&desc_length=1500

I take it that this path is now incorrect which is why Justepg is getting an error.

If someone from Icetv could advise what the new path is, we should be able to solve the problem.  :)

Peter (the JustEPG author) also frequents the DTV forum as pgdownload

Actually, Peter is the author of the Toppy 5000 version. He didn't make the changes to the TMS Toppy Justepg version.

For anyone having this problem, I have a temporary workaround.
Set the IceTV to Enabled in the Toppy settings.
Set the EPG Data Source in JustEpg to EIT+FTAFILE.
You may have to flip the Toppy IceTV setting to disabled/enabled a few times and do the Reset EPG Data (red button) a few times too. It was a little bit flaky for me.

If it works, you will see the program data in JustEpg as normal (almost).
Any repeat programs will actually start with [R] and you will not see any 'repeat colour coding' (if you've set that up). Personally, I think this looks better.
The downside to this fix is that the program description does not have things like Actors, directors, year etc which Justepg would add from the xml data, which we are not getting!

I think you're right Dave. I've been testing both FTA and ICEtv data and they both come up fine in the original EPG guide. I can sometimes even get Justepg to show the ICEtv data, before it goes through it's data parsing.
The problem I have is that with the Itopfield website in limbo, I don't know how to get in touch with the Justepg author.  :(

In case anyone in Icetv land reads these forums, this is the message that gets returned when the Justepg Tap tries to do an XML fetch -

Topfield / XML data not updating
April 16, 2013, 04:05:26 PM
I use the Justepg Tap with XMLTV as the source (on a Toppy 2400), and the epg has not updated for 5 days. I don't use Icetv for recordings, just to get the xml data.
In my Icetv account, it shows -

Last EPG fetches:
16 April, 2013 at 03:53pm with Topfield TRF-2400
10 April, 2013 at 05:59pm with XML

There is another 2400 owner who has the exact same problem (no XML update since the 10th).

Anyone else having this problem?
#13
The EPG is back to a full week. Looks like it's fixed. :)
#14
Others on the Topfield site (with different toppys) are having the same issue. I hope someone in ICETV land fixes this up soon!
#15
While I don't believe I have the same problem as Mothy, I now find that both my 2400's are only showing 1 day (today) of EPG. They were full yesterday. The last fetch was a few minutes ago.
