[mythtv-users] Remote control delay and the EPG

[John H]

Have you loaded icons in the frontend for all the channels? If not,
this will cause significant delays in the EPG as it tries to load the
icons that don't exist as it retries I think 5 times per icon.

The easiest way (in North America) is to use the channel_icons script.
In SVN it is in mythtv/contrib/icons/master_iconmap, not sure if it is
in the repo you are using. It also requires the perl bindings be
compiled into mythtv.

If you do have it, call it like this:

channel_icons.pl --find-missing --rescan

It is interactive and fairly intuitive.

Thanks, for the help. Actually, I have all the icons in place. A
reboot fixes the problem. I'm just trying to work out the kinks before
I turn the wife loose on the system as she has no patience. Not sure
what's happening to cause the remote not to respond after so many days
only on the EPG.
