try 5.1.1 and rebuild EPG
I stopped and deleted the image but when I download it and restart it, it still says 5.1.0 on my playlist page. What am I doing wrong here?
Because I forgot to update the version on the web page but should fix the epg
Might be something I'm doing, somehow, but still says:
Fetched guide data for XMLTV-Plex in 121ms
2025/11/02 16:27:57.518302 [DVR] Indexed 0 airings into XMLTV-Plex (0 channels over 0s) + 0 skipped [1s index]
2025/11/02 16:28:02.769185 [IDX] Pruned 0 expired groups from XMLTV-Plex in 0s.
The Freesports seems to work though:

Update : not sure what this means but I went into manage lineup, clicked edit on the TruBlu channel and selected the TruBlu logo which it added. With that done, my TruBlu guide is populated now. If I look at Plex as the source in my guide, TruBlu is the only one with guide data. I thought getting guide data was attributed to adding the icon but most of the other channels already have an icon and still no guide (?).
Works for me using the 2 source method.
One source for channels with Gracenote guide data.
Another source for channels without Gracenote guide data (uses Plex guide data)
@joagomez
I think I see the issue with no PlexTV non-gracenote guide data
Looking at the XMLTV the schedules have channel= that doesn't match the channel id=
I'm guessing it was from the recent change to the channel id you made?
from station_id = station.get("id") to station_id = station.get("gridKey")
thanks was a rush build - will correct

Thanks
v5.1.2 fixed it
I'm having a tough time generating the EPG data.
I rebuilt the EPG, but I get a message saying "XML Being Generated Please Standby" and it never goes away.
Any ideas?
Had the same issue as I noticed yesterday the guide wasn't updating. Eventually just replaced with only those with Gracenote embedded links. Lost a few channels, but none that I watched reguraly.
I might have to give it a try. I was having Plex be my default provider and filling in with Pluto channels, but I might have to reverse that.
Thanks!
Yes, it appears that there is non-standard character in the base XML data that the Container uses, causing a failure. I've alerted @joagomez as to the root cause and potential solution:
The good news is that even if he isn't able to do something in time, if the program falls out of the guide, then things should work again. However, for future proofing, a more robust removal/replacement of non-standard characters or more graceful error handling (i.e., skip the offending item and continue) would still be recommended to be implemented.

Having issues of no Guide data with Plex container. I did a "Rebuild EPG" the other day, it worked, now it will not.
I gather it is already reported an issue as above post mentions.
Good to know what the issue is, but it still needs to be fixed. So that the issue will not happen again.
By complete rebuild, do you mean deleting and rebuilding the plex source? I didn't find that necessary. What I did was edit setting for the plex source, changed the option of "Prefer channel logos from M3U" to "Prefer channel logos from Guide Data" and saved the settings. That seemed to be what I needed to get the guide data to show up again.
I did the Rebuild EPG again, no errors.
Refresh the guide from channels, nothing.
Channels was showing the generic blocks in the guide at one point, like it does for custom channels, but now, those are gone and I can not even see the channels in the client app.
Ah! That did it.
Now they show up in Channels again.
I wonder if it may be the % symbol, for the show 100% Wolf that is considered invalid.
I do recall Channels would crash on me at one point, whenever I loaded a channel that was playing that show.
about half the channels not populating guide data until tomorrow night. think it's about time to fork this puppy.
the bigger fail is on channels for allowing guide rows to get in a state where they have nothing to click. L M A O
Not an ideal solution, but epgshare01 has a specific EPG file for the Plex channels:
https://epgshare01.online/epgshare01/epg_ripper_PLEX1.xml.gz
Works as an EPG source in Channels but the guide IDs don't seem to match those from the docker, so the channels will need to be mapped manually. Not a problem for me as I only really watch maybe a dozen channels from the Plex docker.
Also, I'm not a fan of the channel logos used with the epgshare01 list...looks like someone put some work into making them, but they're hard for me to read on the TV screen from across the room. So, in the settings for the source, I selected "Prefer channel logos from m3U".
All works fine for me, hope it helps someone!
