There are numerous checks to determine if the<br>
existing program is *really* the same (with all the<br>
details). Sometimes it is, sometimes it is not<br>
("generic" programs such as news often get<br>
updates as the time gets closer to the "now"<br>
value). And mythfilldatabase does some additional<br>
adjustments of the data that can (next run) result<br>
in detections of changes. Some of which was<br>
improved with recent (supported) releases of<br>
MythTV.<br>
<br>
First thing is move to a current OS version and a<br>
currently supported MythTV version and a currently<br>
supported version of the xmltv grabber and see if<br>
things get different.<br>

<p>Older versions of mythfilldatabase used a huge amount of memory.
If you have a 4GB machine it could be swapping extensively. I have
a script that deals with that problem by splitting the run into
separate pieces, a few days at a time instead of the full 14 days
in one load. The change to fix this was made in February 2020.
fixes/31 and later do not have this problem.<br>
