Detectads never stops

[DaveQ]

Detectads is correctly processing all the non-BBC recordings, but then repeats itself and processes them all again and again and never stops. I have tried disabling it (setting to Sweeper only), re-booting, re-enabling it, re-booting, but it is still in a loop. Any ideas??

What method were you using when the problem started (Chaserun, Traditional, Sweeper)?
Do you currently have any Detectads Sweeper rules installed?

You probable need to rename /mod/etc/detectads_queue.db to remove any queued recordings

If you PM the queue database and detectads.log to me I could try and see if I can spot what has happened.

Thanks for the response. I was initially using sweeper, then switched to traditional. I've now switched it off completely. Still have a sweeper rule set up, but i thought that only did anything when manually invoked. But won't be able to make any progress for a while as I am on holiday for a week or so. Will post again when I have further news.

Sweeper runs every 20 minutes as part of the auto process, you need to disable any rules that you don't want to be processed regularly
