updateepg.bat script to check if a recording is in progress before update

[JavaWiz]

cut/paste error I think, only 1 is needed.

Oh, bummer. I was hoping it was some undocumented special arcane magical pass that was only known to initiates of the order. Always wanting to learn secrets, you know.

I think I might have run into a problem. When I ran the update last night manually everything worked as expected, I got a full 21 days of EPG. When it ran this morning on it's own I only got 15 days.

My config.xml has <SchedulesDirectDays>21</SchedulesDirectDays>

A couple of questions?

Is this going to mess up future recordings which were set more than 15 days out and now look like they may have been deleted because there was no EPG?

If I get a full 21 days back will Npvr reschedule the recordings or will it consider them as "deleted" and skip them?

NextPVR reschedules from scratch after each EPG update. So programmes that appear and disappear and reappear as EPG updates occur will also appear and disappear and reappear.

The "deleted" logic only applies to programmes that have been manually "deleted" from the Pending recording list.

and what is in your <SchedulesDirectDaysOvernight>?

<SchedulesDirectDaysOvernight>15</SchedulesDirectDaysOvernight>

Hadn't noticed <SchedulesDirectDaysOvernight> before, I'm assuming it should be 21 also to match <SchedulesDirectDays>? Why are there 2 settings?

In your screen shot your account is expiring in 15 days. which doesn't match the json "expires":"2016-10-26T15:59:53Z"

Because the EPG updates were taking a very long time for some users, and I didn't want new users to sit through a 45 minute EPG update on that first update, so the manual EPG update was grabbing less days by default. The overnight was defaulting to more days, and would take longer.

That said, Schedules Direct's they have speed up the server side processing since 3.5.7 was first released.

Sorry sub my mistake I thought that was the SD web site 15 days is better for me anyway since the schedule gets corrected sometimes and my future one-offs are wrong.
