webif api: epgservice returns empty e2eventlist.

  • Hello all.


    I have a strange problem with epgservice request.


    1. i send epgservise request and receive empty e2eventlist;
    2. then i go to the dreambox web interface; enter TeleVision->Bouquets->Last scanned and click on needed tv channel name; dreambox webinterface show me tv programs for this channel;
    3. after that i send the same epgservice request again and receive e2eventlist full of data;


    What do i do wrong? May be i need a different api request for this?

  • What i know now:


    1. i send epgservise request and receive empty e2eventlist;
    2. then i go to the dreambox web interface; enter TeleVision and click on _any_ tv channel name(this is a "zap" action as a html title say); dreambox webinterface show me tv programs for this channel;
    3. after that i send the same epgservice request again and receive e2eventlist full of data;
    4. now i can receive programs for any channel.


    I have no an opportune moment yet to test doing zap with webif api if this situation will occur again. May be this help.


    Is this a bug?..

    It's not a bug, not at all.
    The epg data can only be received when at least one Service of a transponder was running "recently".
    That's why zapping solves the problem....


    There's also a plugin called "EPG Refresh" which can do the job for you.
