Potential bug about EPG programme information changes not reflected properly

Added by Mathieu Gouin almost 8 years ago

Hello,

I decided to start a new thread, but this is loosely related to this thread which I already started:

https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/23472

In a nutshell, here is the problem. Hopefully, someone can help me figure out what went wrong...

The movie "The Proposal" was originally supposed to air on the channel "CTV" on 2016-12-31 at 20:00. I created a one time recording for that event.

Later the movie start time was slightly changed to 2min later. It is now 20:02 (as reflected in the xmltv attached). My xmltv.xml is downloaded nightly at 3am. At 4am, the internal grabber tv_grab_file is scheduled to run.

However, as shown in the 3 screenshots showing various rendering of the TVH EPG data, there is still a left-over 2min dummy movie ("The Proposal") from 20:00 to 20:02.

There are a few problem here:
1. This dummy 2min movie is not listed anywhere in the xmltv information. In fact, a quick search reveals that there is only one entry for this movie.
2. My original recording was not updated with the new movie start time.

Just to clarify, I'm not angry or anything, I'm just happy to report a small glitch I encountered.

Let me know if I can be of more help to figure out what went wrong...

Thanks in advance,

Mathieu

Open an issue here: https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/issues/new.

From a quick look at the xmltv data, tvh isn't merging the data it already has with the new data, it's seeing them as two separate events.

It seems that the 'The Queens New Year's Message' event was somehow ignored:
