Is Schedules Direct Offline?

Been getting the red 'X' for the past day or so. This from the trace.log:

Don't see anything about a problem on SD's website.

[garyan2]

I noticed the same thing, but it may just be those of us that are beta testing the image issue. If everyone else is getting tokens as normal, then I can point that out to SD.

I had that happen a day or so ago but I think the next day I connected ok. I am not one of the beta testers.

No errors with SD updates this month here; just occasional warnings for lineup additions. Not a beta tester. I am seeing an oddity that suggests some data isn't up-to-date. The most obvious example is The Late Show With Stephen Colbert continues to have generic guide info instead of saying who is on each night. Checking the mxf file for this morning, there are no entries for the show with episodeTitle, which compared to an old backup version seems to be what's missing. Zap2It guide has the detailed info, and epguides has had it since Sunday at least, if either of those are good indicators that SD should also have the info. Overall though I have guide data until 10/13 and EPG123 says average of 17.0 days of data per station.

This may have nothing to do with anything else, maybe just a small quirk. Figured I'd mention it though in case the info is useful somehow.

[alhaunts]

Still no joy here, but today I am getting a new token from SD. It's now a "500 Internal Server Error".

[garyan2]

Same here. I talked with SD about it last night and rkulagow thought that it should clear after a bulk rebuild of the images database had completed. Either that is still going on, or there is something else. I'll let him know.

If you want to be removed from the beta testing, let me know.

[cbarbie]

If testing is still required, you can leave me in the Beta.

I've tried it three times but no dice. I do hope this is transitory issue. There is nothing on the Schedules Direct website to indicate a problem.

[garyan2]

That is related to viewtopic.php?f=99&t=14018&p=148958#p148949. You are getting a malformed response from SD that v1.7.1.12 does not correct.

I have a fix for that and it will be in the next release. My code signing certificate expired last week and I am currently going through the process of getting a new one. Once that is complete I will release the new version.

My code signing certificate expired last week and I am currently going through the process of getting a new one.

I guess that answers my other question, which was going to be why has smart screen started telling me your programs aren't safe?

[garyan2]

Hmm, I thought I read somewhere that it doesn't matter if the certificate has expired, only that the certificate was valid when the file was signed. I didn't expect smart screen to have a problem with that, but who knows... everyone everywhere seems to go waaay overboard on "protecting" the world from everything.

Same here.

so it is safe, to f-i-n-a-l-l-y update my Dinosaur v1.2.2.2 to v1.7.1.12?

Edit: So far so good. Installed EPG123 and it updated guide successfully!

That is related to viewtopic.php?f=99&t=14018&p=148958#p148949. You are getting a malformed response from SD that v1.7.1.12 does not correct.

I have a fix for that and it will be in the next release. My code signing certificate expired last week and I am currently going through the process of getting a new one. Once that is complete I will release the new version.

Any news on this fix Gary?

My updates are still failing due to malformed data.

Still waiting for my new signing certificate. Should be in the next day or 2. I will then build and release the next version with fix in place.

Thanks Gary

I've run out of data now so nothing is getting recorded.

Is there a workaround or maybe and old version I can install to get round this malformed data error?

I don't use channel logos or anything like that - just listings.
