[QUOTE="piscdi, post: 1226262, member: 161197"] Good morning to all, Based on Lehmden's explanation as to what I should be looking for, I ran a couple of tests this morning. With the greatest respect, I believe Lehmden was confusing the manual download data with the scheduled data in my last post. Regardless, I discovered this morning that the grabber first generates a 3 kb file (the channel list) before the guide data; you can see the sequence when you do a manual pull. It never occurred to me to check to see if it generates it's own file; it certainly does. Given that, I ran two manual downloads and the same 3 kb channel list file records in the log folder. BUT if you look at the historical data in the log folder, you'll observe that when the "scheduled" runs record, there are no such files. Could there be some missing code (instructions for the scheduled download, not the manual) that should be telling the program to run the channel list and that failing that, the enhancement (enrichment) fails to initiate? That might explain why on the scheduled downloads, the "EPG-Grabber.TVGuide_done_1.xml" never updates (at least in my experience). If that's plausible, then if that file doesn't update, the TV Server doesn't "see" a new file to import and so does nothing. You'll see that the scheduled download occurred at 04:07 and did not produce that 3 kb channel list file but the two subsequent manual downloads (06:28 and 07:19) did. Those files seem to have triggered the creation of the 'buddy' files for the manual download around the same time but their absence apparently did no such thing for the scheduled download. Anyway, take a look at what I found this morning. Keep in mind, the last code I learned (or tried to learn) was cobol and fortran; my skill sets and knowledge base have only degraded since then :LOL:. The first folder shot is the scheduled download; the second is the last manual. Thanks again for all you guys do. [/QUOTE]
