Change in recording time not picked up

[mihaid]

Bgt final is on series recording on my t2. The final has been changed from Sunday to Saturday on epg but on my schedule it still says Sunday.

Anyone knows why?

 

[MymsMan]

It seems very hit and miss as to whether the Humax recognizes schedule changes.

You can use the 'Refresh Events' option of the webif or RS schedule displays to give it a kick, unfortunately this still requires a reboot and is not handle by Real Time Scheduling.

 

[mihaid]

How do you do those?

Check the CRIDs - are they what they should be?

 

[Luke]

Yes they are. I've now got both in my schedule and looking at the raw database it is the events they point to which are different for the two entries.
If I've got time later I'll list out the other differences.

Edit: Looking at it closer one of the fields with event in the webif name has not changed.

Well it appears that Refresh Events did nothing

I have tried for both RS and Webif and apart from it disappearing from the pending events lists I can see no sign in the logs or schedule that anything has happened.
Af123 Are there any log records that I should expect to see from a Refresh Events request?

I will resort to a one off recording for tonight.

rsvsync.log should show something. It just clears out the event list from the schedule entry and then the Humax software re-populates it fairly quickly after boot.

OK perhaps I looked too quickly after refreshing via webif and rebooting the second time, that does show Refreshing slot 27 which is BGT and the schedule is now correct for this evening.

But my earlier attempt at refreshing via RS did fail, the log shows

300    Sat Jun  3 10:48:57 2017: Refreshing slot -1
299    Sat Jun  3 10:48:57 2017: Could not get slot.

'Refresh Events' is an option under More on the Schedule list display and Visual schedule displays on both the Webif and RS

But my earlier attempt at refreshing via RS did fail,

I tried another Refresh from RS, this time for Dr Who, but this time it did work even though the Pending entry showed a slot number of 0 rather than 24

 

[mihaid]

Is there a way to automate this refreshing?

Not currently - it relies on someone like you noticing the anomaly and notifying the world to avoid missing recordings.
Obviously far from ideal!

I have suggested in other threads that it should be possible to spot such changes, including the very last minute schedule changes when a sporting event overruns or there is a major news event but unfortunately I don't have the time at present to start writing new webif function.
