Just wondering if there is any interest in a mod to the EPG Update settings to change from a fixed time every day to a random time between a start and finish window (or start time and duration).
This is with a view to spreading the load on EPG servers who might be getting hammered because folks might be selecting the same time as everyone else e.g. 3:00AM.

I guess I could try to figure out how to implement a random delay in my UpdateEPG.bat and just set the update time in NextPVR to the start time, but I thought this might be a good feature for others to use.

I would have thought that the load from the global NextPVR community on various EPG providers was probably already somewhat random?

If I recall correctly, NextPVR has been doing this (randomizing the actual EPG update time around the "set time") for many years.
