XMLTV Version?

XMLTV Component?

tv_grab_eu_xmltvse (also tried tv_grab_se_tvzon for 0.5.70)

--days 1, 2 and 3 work as expected, whenever a number >3 is entered, only 3 days of data is grabbed.

What did you expect to happen?

…

Did you see any warnings/errors?

(Please paste any warnings/errors, if available) No warnings or errors

  1. (in .bat-file) c:\PATH_TO_XMLTV\xmltv-0.6.3\xmltv.exe tv_grab_eu_xmltvse --days 14 > "c:\PATH_TO_XML_FILE\tv-guide.xml" %*

Any other information?

(For example, is this a new or intermittent issue?) Not sure but think it has been present for a couple of weeks (saw it first on 0.5.70, upgraded to 0.6.3 but issue remains.)

What other software are you using?

Operating System: Windows

Perl Version: Using the precompiled windows version.

Update: omitting the --days option (which should default to 5?) still only gets 3 days of data.

The upstream source of data for tv_grab_eu_xmltvse has decided to limit the duration, and detail, of the data provided from their free to use feed (they have a commercial feed with longer duration and more guide details and that paid service is referenced on their main project page). The announcement from the upstream source about the changes can be read at: https://github.com/pixelmonster-ou/xmltv.se/issues/21

Also related and discussed in: https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv/issues/114

Thank you for the explanation! Did not get the announcement that there should come a limit on the free feed. Sorry for posting an issue here.
