Email from Schedules Direct regarding end-of-life notification for API 2014-05-30

[wlmasonii]

Schedules Direct sent me an email indicating the API NPVR is using is being phased out (email follows):

Hello - the API that you are using (API 2014-05-30) is now end-of-life
effective 2015-07-01, and no further schedule updates will be
performed.

From the server logs, your grabber is still making requests to the old
API. Because the old API had a max of 13 days of data, sometime in the
next few days you will have no schedule data remaining.

The developers of your applications were notified that the API would
be going end of life on 2015-04-17, and by now should have updated
their software to use the new servers.

Please see

for the end-of-life notification, and please contact your developer if
you need instructions on how to switch your grabber / update your
software to use the new API.

Is there an update available or is this message in error? Thanks for your help.

You need to be running NextPVR 3.4.8 or higher in order to access the new servers.

Thanks for the prompt response! I am running 3.4.8 so I tried a reinstall. How far our should I be able to see program listings (after updating EPG)?

We have between 20 and 30 days of data for most stations, but there's an XML file that needs to be edited on your PC that governs how much data it will download.

I can now see data through 7/17. If I understood your email correctly I assume that I would not see data past 7/13 if using the old server. Am I correct?

[rkulagow]

Correct; if you have data until 7/17 then you're on the new server (but still only have 8 days of schedule based on the NextPVR XML file configuration)
