[mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase only collects the next days sched. ?

[Cedar McKay]

you aren't doing anything wrong  :-) . What Isaac is saying is that he 
has made mythfilldatabase smart enough to only download the days that 
are both a) available and b) necessary. You probably only have 8 days of 
data because that is all that is available online right now. AFAIK 
nobody is getting more than 7-8 days in the future, at least not in 
north america.  It only downloads one day of data because you have 
already downloaded the other days. If you run it once a day, you should 
be fine and keep a constant 8-9 days of future programming available.


best,
Cedar
