Error getting EPG data with NextPVR

[juliescamilla]

Hello,
I'm not sure whether this is a NextPVR issue or a Schedules Direct issue (never had problems with either over years of use). However, every time I try to get EPG data from SD for the last couple of weeks (that's how long I've been banging my head against this) I get some permutation of the error (from NextPVR nrecord.log) below:

I tend to think this is a problem with the data coming from SD, but I really don't know. I'm starting on the SD side because I've uninstalled/reinstalled NextPVR with a fresh database. Everything looks fine on the SD side as well, to me, but I can see less into SD than I can into NextPVR.

Any help would be appreciated, even if it's confirmation I need to pursue the NextPVR side of things.

First start by contacting SD to see if they have disabled your account. They made changes a month or so ago were this could happen, and fortunately a more recent change makes it less likely unless you restart the server a lot.

Also if you are using Jellyfin with NextPVR you might have different issues. Also there are issues with T-Mobile that you might need to talk over with SD. If you share an account on multiple IP's you could also have problems.
