Bug PVR EPG updateemptytagsinterval in seconds while wiki/kodi setting state minutes
#1
Bug 
Added to advancedsettings.xml and restarted kodi:
Quote:  <epg>
    <updatecheckinterval>1500</updatecheckinterval>
    <updateemptytagsinterval>2880</updateemptytagsinterval>
  </epg>

Update frequency for an empty EPG is every 50 minutes with the 2880 'minutes' setting:
Quote:12:41:37.850 T:140060007585536 NOTICE: EPG thread started

It appears the updateemptytagsinterval setting is interpreted as seconds and not in minutes as the wiki states.

This post from 2015 noted a seconds/minutes issue as well: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=237109

It appears the default is set to 1 minute for empty EPGs and 5 minutes for regular updates here.

I can't see references to the updatecheckinterval / epg.epgupdate user setting from the default Kodi settings -> PVR -> Guide menu in the EPG code here https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...pg/Epg.cpp and I'm wondering if the user setting is ignored and therefore an advancedsettings entry is required?

Related feature request/discussion point:
For empty EPG urls, what's the point in checking it over and over again anyway? Wouldn't it make more sense to stop checks when initialising and no URL is available? A url won't automagically appear.
