Sports Auto-Extend Not Working?

[sub]

If you are ready before 12:30 Eastern there is an NFL game SP003666130000 on now but it too is returning 6001.

Yep, I tried this game, and as you say - after a 30 second timeout, I was getting a 6001 queued error returned by SD. Repeated calls always returned this. I've emailed SD to why this is happening.

This flew by so fast overnight, I'm truly impressed by the investigation involved. I'd take you up on the custom DLL, sub, but it looks like you already have all the information you need?

I think we already have what we need. In summary - seems to be bug at the SD end.

You mentioned earlier that there is a bug entered for this problem. Is there a way for me to track the bug? I'd just like to test once I know it's resolved. Thanks!

I've never used their bug tracking system myself, but you can raise the support ticket over at https://www.schedulesdirect.org/lineupsupport

Apologies for reviving an old post. I was never able to get Sports Extend working in NextPVR after this thread, and I abandoned it under the assumption something was wrong with my system (or me!).

I'm now transitioning to a new NextPVR server (Windows 10 1803, and current release of NextPVR). I'm not yet using the NextEnd plugin, because I'm checking if the native support is working. I tested a few MLB recordings that did not finish on time, and they still do not extend. Here are some logs:

Any advice? I'm wondering if the sports extend service is still functional, or if the problem is on my end. Thanks for looking.

To be honest, I don't know if it still works or not. Nothing has changed on the NextPVR side, and it used to work, but I'm not sure if Schedules Direct are actively supporting this or not. I've emailed one of the guys there to ask.

You'd need to show the unique ID from the EPG to tell. SD does not monitor all games.

I wasn't 100% sure where to find the Unique ID (a search failed me, sorry), but is it the one contained in recording-backup.xml? If so, here's the full info including the Unique ID.

Just a friendly bump. If I can provide any unique ID info while testing some upcoming sports recordings, just let me know. Thanks!
