[mythtv-users] Original air date

Fri Feb 28 00:03:28 UTC 2020

Hi Gary,

For the last year (it seems) original air date has been missing for any
new, OTA show for all of my local stations.  I would like to figure out why.

When I look at the SchedulesDirect.DB the information is there. For example:

INSERT INTO programs

However, I don't see originalairdate anywhere in the XML file:

Some entries in the XML file have <previously-shown start="some value" />
but that does not exist for any of my local channels when the show is new.
Is that how it is supposed to work?

Thanks,

John
