Television EPG not refreshing (next load of EPG is scheduled in the past)

<< < (2/3) > >>

mwillems:
Thanks for the tip, I was looking in the main logs not in the TV logs.  There are no errors under TV Logs, but the logs suggest that the EPG was loading everyday until 11/22/2020 and then the logs end.  No errors or anything else are recorded after 11/22.

The info below the window says "Program guide last refreshed: 12/11/2020..." which was my last manual refresh, and the "next load" still shows yesterday's date. 

The timing suggests that something happened in build 35, which was released for Linux on 11/20.

EDIT: I had initially written something else in this post, but realized after I wrote it that I was misreading the dates in my logs.  The above is now correct.

I did a test and it seems to work?

Yesterday I started MC in a Linux virtual box.  Manually refreshed EPG and left MC running overnight.  This morning, I logged in everything was still OK.  Later in the morning, I had to re-log-in because I got automatically logged out of it.  MC was still running, and scheduled EPG time just past - but for some reason, when I got logged out, the Linux box's system time stopped updating too.  So technically the EPG updating time did not pass.  So I let it run, and waited.  Yes, it did run EPG update, and it was successful.

What's your timezone set to? Did you change from UTC to localtime or vice versa recently?

Hmm, that's odd.  It's definitely not updating here and the virtual machine doesn't lock/log out at all, it just keeps running.  I can set the next refresh to ten minutes in the future and watch the interface and it won't run.  I wonder what's different here?

To test, I just rolled back to 27.0.30 and the background task immediately fired and executed correctly.  So something changed between version 30 and 35, at least for me.

My Timezone is set to EST and I haven't changed anything related to system time recently.  I also run an ntp client for time sync and system time appears to be correct within a few microseconds.  The fact that it works in version 30 and not in 35-37 seems to suggest something changed in Media Center. 

To provide a little more info about my environment, I'm running MC on Debian Buster (64-bit) in xfce.  I've configured it never to sleep or log out (it's a headless virtual machine).  I run MC using a systemd service that runs with the /MediaServer flag.

Yaobing:
Have you scheduled any TV recordings at all recently?  If you have never scheduled a recording on this computer, then the issue is likely caused by something I did recently, and it is now fixed:

Fixed: TV background tasks might not be performed if no recording actions were scheduled.
