[SOLVED] EPG refresh rate seems to be ignored by KODI - Starscream - 2015-08-29
Hi there,
i installed the Simple Client long time ago and all worked fine for me.
But some days ago i inspect my network traffic, which shows me, that the KODI-Clients generate high load every 5 minutes.
So i tooked a deep look inside the kodi.log of my clients (RPi, ATV...) and found the following entries:
Code:
00:00:20 T:1693697088 NOTICE: AddOnLog: PVR IPTV Simple Client: EPG Loaded.
00:01:52 T:1968926720 NOTICE: NFS is idle. Closing the remaining connections.
00:05:24 T:1693697088 NOTICE: AddOnLog: PVR IPTV Simple Client: EPG Loaded.
00:06:56 T:1968926720 NOTICE: NFS is idle. Closing the remaining connections.
00:10:28 T:1693697088 NOTIC00:12:00 T:1968926720 NOTICE: NFS is idle. Closing the remaining connections.
00:15:32 T:1693697088 NOTICE: AddOnLog: PVR IPTV Simple Client: EPG Loaded.
00:17:05 T:1968926720 NOTICE: NFS is idle. Closing the remaining connections.
...
[/code]
Obviously the epg data is refreshed every 5 minutes.
A quick look at the configuration shows me, that i had inserted 120 minutes (default) for the refresh rate (epg is realy static).
Even a switch to 2880 minutes did not solve the issue, still all 5 minutes they grab the epg from my new server - he obviously is not able to fall to sleep now ;-)
Same behaviour on OpenELEC@RPi and KODI on ATV, KODI@Desktop not tested. Also 15.x not tested (OpenELEC is still @ 14 and i have a centralized database for all clients).
Anybody able to confirm this behaviour or am i missing an important point (never checked the traffic before)?

set values for epg in advancedsettings.xml like mentioned in http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=223594&pid=1982258#pid1982258
the example in the wiki writes minutes for the interval, in fact it seems to be seconds
works in kodi 15.1
<advancedsettings>
<epg>
<updateemptytagsinterval>10800</updateemptytagsinterval>
<updatecheckinterval>10800</updatecheckinterval>
<activetagcheckinterval>10800</activetagcheckinterval>
</epg>
</advancedsettings>
