If I try to set up a recording from my PC onf a BBC4 programme I get the following message:
No default authority data available for this channel. Unable to set the recording.
I haven’t tried all channels but it does seem to be confined to BBC4. Can anyone tell me how to fix this ?
I have all the latest package versions installed.
Thanks.
Yes I just checked and I have the same problem.
The background is that this information is needed to mimic the recording scheduling via the web interface. But so far no-one has found where the HDR gets this information from (it is not tramsmitted with the rest of the normal EPG data). So there is a manual workaround whereby these default authority data are hosted in the internet repository where the packages are stored, and updated manually by raydon. If a channel has changed its so-called service-ID then the web-interface database handling doesn’t know about this until it is manually updated.
Anyway when I checked my database just I also saw that BBC3 and BBC Alba were missing in addition to BBC4. I will ask raydon to update.
In the meantime if it is urgent for you then you can enter the following in telnet to get BBC4 working:
Code:sqlite3 /opt/epg/channels.dbThen you will get a prompt “sqlite>” at which you need to enter:
Code:update tbl_svc set aucDefaultAuthority=’fp.bbc.co.uk’ where usSvcID=’6316′;Then press Ctrl-D to exit from the sqlite prompt back to the normal telnet prompt and you’re done.
I’ve had this a number of times with BBC Four… anyone know if it’s been solved yet? I mean, if not I can just set a smartphone reminder to do it directly via the Foxsat firmware when I next get in front of it, but sorta defeats the object of remote recording…
