Comment (by Jan Schneider <jan@…>):

 Only that those contraints do not work. Or maybe they don't work as
 expected. Here are my relevant settings:

 MythFillDatabaseArgs: -v xmltv --syslog local7 -- --days 20
 mythfilldatabaseLastRunEnd: 2014-12-11T19:50:34Z
 mythfilldatabaseLastRunStart: 2014-12-11T18:50:26Z
 MythFillGrabberSuggestsTime: 0
 MythFillMaxHour: 19
 MythFillMinHour: 17

 Now, reviewing these settings again, I think I may have found the culprit:
 any chance that the contraints now have to be specified in UTC instead of
 local time?
 Besides that the settings should have been converted when switching to
 all-things-UTC a while ago, I still thing using UTC doesn't make any sense
 here. IMO the setting only makes sense to schedule the update for less
 crowded times. Be it crowded times on the EPG providers backends or
 crowded times in front of the TV when you don't want to lose WAF or CAF
 from EPG update interruptions. And then there's of course still the
 reasoning from above, having the schedule updated before prime time
 starts.
 But for any of those scenarios, UTC doesn't make any sense, only local
 time makes sense. And local time will change due to DST if these values
 are specified in UTC.
