Comment (by pbennett):

 Yes, the --refresh parameter does not help. I am trying to download 3 days
 at a time and avoid having to run mythfilldatabase 7 times. The code in
 filldata.cpp either does the whole lot at once or 1 day at a time. With
 --refresh I will still have to run it 7 times. I think that a parameter to
 mythfilldatabase to specify the number of days to download at a time may
 work, as long as the grabber supports it. Maybe I will try that. I did not
 see the comment that says that the code depends on --days 1

 FYI - Your patch fails because the latest filldata.cpp does not include
 below code that is in your version but not in MythTV. Your version is
 diverging. I am sure all your changes are in tickets but have not been
 applied.

 {{{
     if (only_update_channels && source.xmltvgrabber_apiconfig)
     {
         command += " --list-channels";
     }
 else
 }}}
