EPG & Schedules Direct

[Stanno]

Hi,

Has something changed with either NPVR or SD in respect of the EPG days?  I have both entries in config.xml set to 21 days but I am only getting 12 days.  The relevant entries in the log appear to be:

2022-04-25 02:57:50.818 [DEBUG][186] 1 BBC 1
{
  "stationID": "24322",
  "serverID": "20141201.web",
  "code": 7020,
  "response": "SCHEDULE_RANGE_EXCEEDED",
  "minDate": "2022-04-23",
  "maxDate": "2022-05-06",
  "requestedDate": "2022-05-07",
  "message": "Date requested (2022-05-07) not within 2022-04-23 -> 2022-05-06 for stationID 24322."


Is the maxDate parameter being set by NPVR or is it coming from SD?  And how can I get it extended?

Any thoughts/advice gratefully received.  Thanks.

Not sure about the specific answer to your question, but I tend to see a substantial drop off in data around day 13 (I have mine set to 14 days). I don’t think I’ve seen much of anything scheduled more than a couple weeks out.

Perhaps should have mentioned that this is a recent issue; previously had two and a half weeks regularly for some channels. Possible that the problem started with update to 5.2.7?

SD has always had a variable amount of data, with some channels providing less data and that error. I've noticed a bug in NextPVR for years too because it ignores that error and continues to request data for days after the error.

That being said I also have May 6th end date for all my channels so I opened a ticket with SD. There is also a post on their forum https://forums.schedulesdirect.org/viewt...40d#p10519

In general I find that 2 week data is pretty generic so 14 or 15 is best for me.

Thanks Martin, I wasn't sure where the problem lay. Hopefully SD will respond to the ticket promptly.

Seems to be sorted, my EPG is now out to 12 May.
