SETTING UP CROSSEPG IN BH IMAGES

PREPARATION

ESSENTIAL TASKS BEFORE STARTING TO SETUP CROSSEPG

Firstly, ensure you have a suitable usb stick and have formatted it on the duo using the format procedure in the BH image (blue button)

Insert this stick when prompted AFTER THE IMAGE HAS BOOTED UP (ie:- do not insert the usb stick at all until prompted)
I would recommend a stick of 16 gig or 32 gig and a branded make too (like the tiny red PNY 32 gig usb sticks from mr.memory), BH seems fussy about sticks and they can fail even if formatted correctly and you cannot really tell until you use them

or try the ones in this thread

https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthrea...e-on-USB-stick

When the stick is formatted you will be prompted to reboot so do so, and then MOUNT the stick as usb in the mountpoints manager

The stick will be chosen and used for the epg download, and is also where you should store your picons too (not the hdd or the flash)

format it as 1 partition using the modern EXT4 (for usb sticks - or the older EXT2) as your formatting options

set it to usb in the mountpoints, then select it in crossepg

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now for Crossepg , which is embedded into BH images

MENU - SETUP - CROSSEPG - CONFIGURE

setup the following

STORAGE DEVICE - USB STICK
ENABLE CSV IMPORT - NO
FORCE EPG RELOAD ON BOOT - YES
SCHEDULED DOWNLOAD - DISABLED (or set to say 06.00am - once a day)
SHOW AS PLUGIN - YES
SHOW AS EXTENSION - YES
SHOW FORCE RELOAD AS PLUGIN - YES

press GREEN to save it

now go back and update all the various providers first (rytec and opentv), then setup the following

XMLTV PROVIDERS

RYTEK UK XMLTV - GREEN TICK HERE (OK)
(its the second choice from the bottom of the list) - GREEN to save it

exit (back)

use either the rytec above, or use opentv below , or use both if you need to

OPEN TV PROVIDERS

SKY UK OPEN TV (ASTRA 2 ON 28.2E) - GREEN TICK HERE (OK)
(third choice down) - GREEN button to save it

XEPGDB PROVIDERS - NOTHING SELECTED

SCRIPTS - NOTHING SELECTED

MHW2 PROVIDERS - NOTHING SELECTED

PROVIDERS START ORDER (this can be your choice, or only use one option)

RYTEK UK XMLTV
SKY UK OPEN TV (ASTRA 2 ON 28.2E)

-------------------------------------

setup fast plugin using GREEN and GREEN by selecting crossepg reload

or press GREEN (plugins) - RED (panel setup) and choose FAST PLUGIN SETUP and set crossepg download using the red button to select it

this now allows you to quickly press GREEN TWICE to force an epg download/reload

exit when the plugins menu shows over the top of BH RADIO or your plugins panel

CROSSEPG should now be working and displaying more than now and next in extended epg and graphical epg

use the coolmans plugin if you want an epg representation more like the vix image version
