My Media Center not showing premieres recently

#1

Post by spanner » Mon May 31, 2021 3:45 pm

Not a big deal , but I was pleasantly surprised after converting to epg123, that the premieres in the MMC app started showing up. For me this never worked with the old guide system. I found this very useful in discovering new shows to try out. Not sure of when but of late this feature does not work anymore for me in both the android and win 10 app. I was wondering if this is a feature that is no longer available or if i am missing a setting somewhere ?

It should still work. Nothing has changed for that... it is just a flag. Does WMC show that they are premieres?

It's been a long time since I used the app, is there a setting to show the star or not? If you see it flagged in WMC, you should see it in the app as well. You may want to clear the cache and reload to see if that makes a difference.

I cleared the cache on all my phones and a tablet, also cleared the cache on epg123. still no premieres. This is not a big deal, I was just presently surprised that it started working when I installed your guide program back when it first came out. This might be a plip on my end and was curious if something changed, or if others noticed it. All other data shows up in the app as it always has.

thanks for responding

It may be something on my end. Let me check the change history to see if I changed something with premieres.

Yup, this is my bad. I missed a line to set the schedule entry premiere flag on the latest versions when I did some restructuring. Will be fixed in next release, which is soon due to another small change in the SD API which should be released within the next week.

EDIT: Thanks for letting me know!

Does this affect WMC or just MMC?

Just MMC as far as I can tell. The program is still getting the "Series Premiere", "Series Finale", "Season Premiere", and "Season Finale" flags, it is just the schedule entry isn't getting the Premiere flag set. Not sure if there is any difference in how WMC handles the schedule entry flag. (Note the schedule entry premiere flag is for both series and movie premieres.)

Just release v1.6.4.3 which adds the schedule entry premiere flag back in. This should take of it.

While fixing this, I saw that we were missing the added "(Premiere)" to the episode title when viewing program details in WMC.

Hey everyone

Android phone note 20 MMC transferred from old note 8

Port fowarding test on desktop MMC fine
EPG123 installed

I can connect locally fine, outside the house no though I use to be able to

All port forwarding checked and correct

Is anyone on a new android phone using MMC remotely?

Thanks !
