EPG grabber running every minute

I've setup TVH 4.2.1 from scratch and have not modified EPG grabber cron (4 */12 * * *) but in TVH web console I can see, that internal grabbers for webgrabplus and epgdata.com are executed every minute. What can I do?

BTW: Is there any option to restrict over-the-air EPG to a maximum of 5 days?

RE: EPG grabber running every minute - Added by Mo Hahn over 6 years ago

Maybe for others with same problem: After modifying cron line from

4 */12 * * *

4 0 * * *
4 12 * * *

it doesn't happened again.

RE: EPG grabber running every minute - Added by Kick4U 2 over 1 year ago

I have an instance on a Synology NAS running 4.3.20230408-36 and I encountered the same issue. Tricky point was that the cron line was already split into two for 12:04 AM and PM. It seems that changing this to anything fixes the issue, so it I presume the actual default is set for every minute.
