solution?
That depends on the "solution" that Me TV is trying to solve. But your
point is valid.
> Would it be possible to load the channel first, and then load the EPG
data?
You misunderstood my statements earlier, the issue is not on "channel
load", it's on "channel unload". I assume that the first channels
starts up quickly right? It's when you exit the channel that it takes
10 seconds while it waits for the EPG read from the demuxer to timeout.
I'm not sure if there's a way to know if there's EPG data available but
there's only one quick solution that I can see. Reduce the timeout
period to 2 seconds (currently 10) and terminate the thread if the
demuxers don't return data. My concern is when the broadcasters stop
transmitting temporarily (for whatever reason maintenance, fault,
loading new EPG data) and then start again. In this scenario the EPG
events will not be read again until you change channel. I guess I could
make it automatically start the EPG thread every minute if it's not
running, this is what other applications do.
