Scheduled shows not updating

Running the latest version of EPG123 on WMC. Scheduled task runs properly and new show data is updated properly. However, the list of scheduled shows is not updating. If I cancel scheduled show, then immediately add it back as a scheduled show, it appears in the list. Otherwise, the current list never gets automatically updated.

Is there anything in your trace.log file? We've seen this a couple times lately with those that have Automatch enabled and something fails there. A failure at that point will kick out the program before the reindexing of the guide and scheduled recordings are activated. I'm going to put a catch in for the next release to avoid this.

You should see the following text in your trace.log file.

Code: Select all

[10/12/2018 4:22:43 AM] Entering runWmcTask(ReindexSearchRoot)
[10/12/2018 4:22:43 AM] [ INFO] SUCCESS: Attempted to run the scheduled task "Microsoft\Windows\Media Center\ReindexSearchRoot".
[10/12/2018 4:22:43 AM] [ INFO] Successfully started the ReindexSearchRoot task. Exit code: 0
[10/12/2018 4:22:43 AM] Exiting runWmcTask(ReindexSearchRoot). SUCCESS.
[10/12/2018 4:22:43 AM] Entering runWmcTask(PvrScheduleTask)
[10/12/2018 4:22:43 AM] [ INFO] SUCCESS: Attempted to run the scheduled task "Microsoft\Windows\Media Center\PvrScheduleTask".
[10/12/2018 4:22:43 AM] [ INFO] Successfully started the PvrScheduleTask task. Exit code: 0
[10/12/2018 4:22:43 AM] Exiting runWmcTask(PvrScheduleTask). SUCCESS.
If you do not see the runWmcTasks entries in the trace.log file, then I would suggest you delete your current task and create a new task with the automatch disabled.

Thanks for the recommendation. I waited a few days, and everything appears to be working properly. Thanks.
