Title: MC27 Not Refreshing EPG?
Post by: jmone on September 09, 2020, 09:05:35 pm
It's probably my fat fingers from testing the TV Changes, but MC27 has stopped refreshing the EPG that I have setup for years.  I've setup MC to pull EPG data every two hours from ICETV and once per day from the DVB-T tuner itself (to fill in some data from the few channels that ICETV does not cover).  It still works if I manually tell MC to run it, but it no longer runs on it's own every 2 hours / 24 hours as per attached pic.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Nathan

I "think" I have to also have "Automatically load the program guide everyday in the background" check as well.  I'll know in a couple of hours....

I certainly have that setting ticked in my installation.

It is a bit strange that you can set the Repeat time again the individual EPG modes, but also need the "global" setting turned on. But maybe the global setting is just how often MC checks if it needs to run an EPG profile, while the individual settings are how often each mode should run. Also I think there is still some internal logic around when the EPG was last run, that affects when it will next run, regardless of those settings. That used to be there. Not sure if it still is.

But that "Next Load" time for IceTV doesn't look promising.

Yup, case closed - all good if I have "Automatically load the program guide everyday in the background" check as well....
