Hello @__db , hope you are doing well.

Well, checking the settings.xml, it looks like that it doesn't update the scheduling time properly...and this sounds strange to me! If you see there, you can notice that

Code:

<setting id="DayTime">05:30</setting>

and

Code:

<setting id="ScheduledWeekDay">2020-04-14</setting>

so that is why the add-on continues to launch the updates...

Can you please try to reschedule at another time and double check the settings.xml once you have just saved the settings? Than, once the add-on finishes the update, please check it again as well as the log file. Let me know!

In the meanwhile, have a great day!  

Hi @axlt2002, doing well thanks and I hope you are also!

I have attempted again this afternoon with the following sequence:

• Scheduled the script to run at 13:45 Wednesday.
  
• Enabled the addon.
  
• Enabled debug logging and rebooted 5 minutes before the scheduled time the script was scheduled.
  
• Copied settings.xml from the addon folder before the script started (13:43).
  
• Allowed the script to run to completion.
  
• Copied settings.xml from the addon folder after the script had finished (14:06).
  
• Clicked OK on the prompt in the Kodi UI which states that there was some errors matching some IMDb titles.
  
• Copied settings.xml from the addon folder again (14:08).
  
• The script restarted and ran again in this time.
  
• Copied settings.xml from the addon folder again (14:37).
  
• Disabled the addon for the script and subsequently debug logging.
  
• Restarted Kodi.
  

You are right, that something strange seems to be happening with the "ScheduledWeekDay" value. It appears this is being written to twice from my perspective - once when the script finishes and once again back to the old value when 'OK' has been pressed in the Kodi UI to the warning about some matching errors. I've pasted the content of all four of the settings.xml copies I took during this run here. I also have a copy of the kodi.log and update.log from the script but I will struggle to paste the kodi.log as once again it is too large for the paste services (I can zip these up and send them to you if it would be helpful?).

Thanks for continuing to look into this for me and have a good day!  

Hi @__db , thanks a lot for the very detailed description. I'm counting to have some time tomorrow to take a look to it...by that time, would you be so kind to reply the same passages but without the log error message enabled? I'm wondering if that could be the issue...

Thanks in advance! Write you back tomorrow! 

Hi @axlt2002 and apologies I haven't had chance to try again and respond until now. However...

I repeated the steps I detailed in my previous post this afternoon and am pleased to say that after disabling the option you suggested that the scheduling appears to be working as expected now in the settings.xml file and the script is no longer repeating itself. Indeed here is a paste of the settings.xml copies I took today where you can see that the ScheduledWeekDay value is updated to next week as expected.

Thanks for your help in finding the cause of this strange behaviour and I hope you are having a good week.
