autorec not finding programs

James Brown

since zap2it died i signed up with schedules direct
got all the channel data and looks good
the autorecordings i have defined do not pick up the sd programs

Some random thoughts:

If you had to retune your channels and one of your AutoRec criterion was the channel, then they won't match any more.

If you create a new AutoRec, does it match? Try looking at the EPG and creating a very broad AutoRec that is bound to match.

Were you matching on series link? The different EPG providers may use different values for identifying series.

You also specifically mention SD programmes not working. Do HD AutoRecs still work?

after a bit of digging i find that the autorecord files in ~/.hts/tvheadend/dvr/autorec differ

< "serieslink": "ddprogid:///usr/bin/tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite/EP00270848",

"serieslink": "ddprogid:///usr/bin/tv_grab_file/SH00270848.0000",

i guess i'll have to recreate all of my autorecording

Or you could just keep using the service formerly known as zap2it at its new location, https://tvlistings.gracenote.com/grid-affiliates.html

If you were using the old zap2xml.pl program:

Open zap2xml.pl in nano (or your favorite text editor) and change the urlRoot value to point to Gracenote:

$urlRoot = 'https://tvlistings.gracenote.com/';

That will not require changing any of your existing links. Or, you could do the following, which will require selecting the new EPG source links:

sed -i 's/zap2it/gracenote/g' zap2xml.pl
