Hello,

I'm having a problem with program data missing for after 9PM. It seems
identical to what was happening in this thread
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/70645), but that was
15.1 and I'm using 18. The guide data for the major networks is there,
but most of the cable channels are missing their data. I haven't noticed
anyone else mentioning this problem recently.

The strange thing is that the data is there for the weekend. Currently,
I am missing 7/19-7/22 and 7/25-7/28.

I've rebuilt mythfilldatabase with two changes. I enabled the
--dd-grab-all option, which I just used (7/16 12:34AM local time), and
the missing data was filled in out to 7/26, but I still have partial
listings for 7/27-7/28. I also added an option --maxday, that overrides that variable in the code, so that I can try bumping it down (looks like
10 would be the correct value).

Searching in gossamer, I didn't find anyone else having this type of
problem since 2004. Is anyone else seeing this? Did zap2it change the
number of days of data that they carry?

Thanks,

-Michael

I'm the guy that was having the problem, so here's the fix I'm using
successfully:

edit the mythtv source for mythtv/programs/mythfilldatabase/filldata.cpp

For me it's line 2875, but I'm not using a current cvs version.  Do a
search for "%d 18" (minus quotes) and replace the 18 with 21.
Unfortunately I have to do this for every cvs update I make, but once
done I no longer have problems.

Sure some newly added days to the schedule have NO DATA after 9pm, but
it updates it when there is data, so it never gets to the point that I
have NO DATA on the current day.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

If this works out for me, I'll see if something like this is in the current svn code. If it isn't, I'll make a patch that lets the 18 value be overridden with a command line argument and see if it gets accepted.

-Michael
