[mythtv-users] Possible problem with updated SchedulesDirect/TMS listings

[David Engel]

I just submitted this lineup problem to SchedulesDirect:

> Last night (Tuesday), I noticed that tomorrow night's (Thursday's)
> episode of "The Office" had a generic description and programid.  I
> checked the zap2it.com web site and it had specific episode
> information.  I expected the specific show information to get pulled
> in with today's mythfilldatabase run, but it didn't.  Myth still shows
> the generic information.  I then manually ran mtyhfilldatabase with
> "--refresh-today --refresh-all" to be sure I was getting the very
> latest information.  Myth still shows the generic information even
> though the zap2it.com web site shows specific episode information.
> 
> I also noticed that the latest "--refresh-all" run of mythfilldatabase
> did not pick up the specific information for all of the NHL playoff
> games that start tonight.  Myth shows them all as "Teams TBA" even
> though the match ups are now set and the zap2it.com web site has them
> correct.
> 
> TMS had a similar problem a year or two ago.  With that problem, any
> updates made after a program was originally added to the schedule were
> not reflected on the "DataDirect" interface.

Is anyone else seeing this problem?  I'm bringing it up here to warn
anyone who might be using the "Record new episodes only" scheduling
option.  The generic episode information might cause Myth to NOT
record some programs.
