Error opening Panasonic Viera svl.db #409

Open remus08 opened 2 months ago

remus08 commented 2 months ago

Hello!

Most unfortunatelly I ran into the same problem as some before me when trying to open a database file (svl.db). It worked in the past but some update on my TV might have screwed up the current database file.

My TV: Panasonic (Viera), Model TX-L42D25E

The issue:

error

The "hotel_setup" files: hotel_setup.zip

Thanks in advance for looking into it! remus08

Hi! I finally found the time to look into it. It seems the database file is corrupted. The Microsoft.Data.Sqlite .NET library that is used by ChanSort cannot open the file at all. I tried other external tools like "DB Browser for SQLite" and "SQLite Studio", which are able to open the file, but then either crash or fail to read more than 566 or 567 out of 1790 channels from the file.

I think the best solution is to reset the TV to factory defaults and start a new scan. If you have an old channel list saved somewhere, you can use that one as a reference list in ChanSort to bring a newly exported, clean list in the same order.

Thanks for looking into my problem. A reset to factory default solved the issue.

Thank you! You saved me from hours and hours I would have needed to spend in front of my TV to sort the channels.
