WebEPG Grab days limited to 14? (1 Viewer)

MediaPortal Version: 1.2.0 Alpha

I'm using only a grabber which has availableDays="26" (SE\svt_se.xml) but Grab days in WebEPG General tab seems limited to 14. Am I doing it wrong or is it a bug?

Yep, it seems to be so .
I guess no one ever thought there would be a grabber for more than 14 days of EPG. OTOH I don't know how well TVServer could handle 26 days of EPG if you have 100s of channels.

Thanks arion.

Well this grabber has only 9 channels so it shouldn't be a problem, right?
I'd still like to use other "14 days grabbers" and grab 26 days of svt_se.xml and 14 from the others so perhaps this setting shouldn't be global but instead grabber specific?

Each grabber specifies the number of days it can provide. This setting is used to globally limit the number of days in all grabbers. So if grabber A can get 14 days and grabber B 26 days, setting this to 20, will give you 14 days on A and 20 on B. Note that no attempt will be made on A to grab past the 14 days since WebEPG knows it will fail.

The only use case that it cannot support is when you have e.g. both A & B providing 26 days but you only want 14 days on A yet you want all 26 days on B. I think this is an extreme case and it is not worth the extra complexity of the UI.
