[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1290516, member: 141969"] With my initial EPG setup (back in 2014), TV Server would update the EPG every hour ( :eek: ). I made that choice on the basis that TV Server would obtain last-minute changes to the EPG. But in the UK the EPG only very occasionally changes at the last minute (overrunning sport or unexpected world events affecting news programmes), so now I update the EPG only once per day, at a time when I am not normally using the HTPC. I have never used Schedules Direct, and I don't know the significance of the 24 hour setting for "last minute name change". Does this mean that you download the EPG only once per day, or does it mean that you download more-frequently than once per day, but only the EPG for the next 24 hours? If you restrict EPG updates to once per day at a time when you are not using the HTPC, that will eliminate EPG update as a source of the missing red dots. However, there may be other plugins that are accessing the SQL database and causing the missing red dots. The one that comes to mind is "TvWishList", which (presumably) rummages around in the SQL database to see if any programmes should be scheduled to record. How often does TvWishList run, and at what times of day? If you use TvWishList, it might be worthwhile disabling it for a few days to see if that eliminates the missing red dots. There may be other plugins that access the SQL database, but I don't use any plugins other than the TV plugin and PowerScheduler, so have no knowledge of other plugins that may cause this problem. Review the plugins that you use, and disable any that [i]might[/i] access the TV database. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
