[mythtv-users] Mythfilldatabase returns incomplete schedule data

[Raymond Boettcher]

I've had some issues in 0.26 where a certain block of guide data is completely missing.  Usually the afternoon block til around 6pm.  However, I didn't have this problem in 0.23.1.  But it seems that the new mythfilldatabase is using an internal grabber instead of wget.  Wget usually tries 5 times I think it is to grab the needed guide data.  I assume the internal grabber only tries once.  It seems schedules direct gets a little on the busy side.

Blocks of data after the missing time seem to populate correctly.  So I think it just fails to download a specific block of guide data once in a while.  You would think mythfilldatabase would retry that block during the next scheduled run but never does.  I think it automatically flags that time range as already downloaded and fails to try again.

Is there a way to revert back to the wget method or tell the internal grabber to attempt the url more than once to ensure data grabs correctly?
