Schedules direct status incorrect in MythTV from mythfilldatabase?

May 21, 2020, 10:31 AM

Post #1 of 11 (1362 views)

A few days ago I renewed by schedules direct so it's good until June
2021. I've logged into the account and verified for sure that that's
the case. The "DataDirect status" in the UI and in mythweb still
report:

Your subscription expires on Fri Jun 19 2020 10:32 PM

I can see that this is from the settings table for the value
"DataDirectMessage" in the database, and I'm assuming that gets
written during mythfilldatabase.

Also note that this is the first time I've renewed while using the SD
JSON grabber (tv_grab_zz_sdjson) as apposed to the legacy DD one. Any
idea what's up there? I just hope the calls don't start failing after
6/19.

Interestingly, I don't understand how this could possibly work
correctly. As far as I can tell, the xml guide data from
tv_grab_zz_sdjson grabber has no trace of that account status to begin
with.

It almost seems as though that status was only intended for the legacy
DataDirect grabber.

I converted to the json feed a few years ago. My mythweb says
"DataDirect Status: Your subscription expires on Sun Sep 10 2017 9:06
AM", but it is still running fine and the actual expiration date is
shown in the mythfilldatabase log "Schedules Direct account expires on
2021-09-10T09:06:15"

So no need to worry.

Thanks! Interesting. Oddly my mythfilldatabase logs don't show any
sign of the status one way or another, though maybe that's a mythtv
version change as well...I'm still on 29.1.

I had noticed something similar when I switched from DataDirect to
sdjason/XMLTV for the grabber. Atthe time, I had found this forum post:
https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?t=2995
So it looks like that setting the database is only for the DataDirect
grabber, and it's not updated for the sdjson grabbers.

Use of the DataDirectMessage setting, and most everything else DataDirect related
has been removed from master and I recall v31. That's true for mythweb too.

Thanks! (And thanks others for replies). That explains it.

The status response from the Schedules Direct JSON API includes the
account expiration date, but there may no longer be a mechanism to
inform the subscriber of that information within MythTV.

If the grabber below is run from the command line, the info is there:

tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite --config-file '/home/mythtv/.mythtv/HDHR.xmltv' --output /tmp/grabber.test.out

Interesting, but while that appears to be the case for the sqlite
version, there's no trace of it with tv_grab_zz_sdjson.
