Random Schedules Direct Probems

[jdaminc]

In the last year since the newest Sage update, I have random account blocked messages on sagetv... Robert at schedules direct has told me several times that it isnt blocked (although the 1st time it was), and eventually sage will connect to schedules direct after a day or 2. This has been happening every couple months. Is anyone else having this problem?

Luckily no I have not had any issues whatsoever  since the last update.   Someone previously posted that they had a sort of similar issue when they discovered a client from a family member was hitting SD … just trying to help.  Sent from my iPhoneOn Mar 17, 2026, at 10:52 AM, jdaminc ***@***.***> wrote: In the last year since the newest Sage update, I have random account blocked messages on sagetv...

looking back... the last time this happened was feb 7th and Robert replied "It looks like theres a bug in Sagetv; Ive sent the logs to Ken"

Robert did send me a message around then about an error 5000 that sage does not handle. This error, and other similar one will be a larger effort than I have time or desire for right now so unlikely to get resolved soon

Thanks for the reply... I wasn't sure if it was something I changed, or was doing wrong recently

I'm sure you've already updated to the latest, but one of the mistakes I made was to run an older version too long without updating to the latest 9.2.16:

I've been running updates regularly ever since ver 4.... If newer updates dont run on windows 7 anymore, I'll be stuck at that last one. I've half moved over to Mezzmo server with mezzmo addon for kodi ( I'm actually running both servers right now), but you still cant beat Sagetv for recorded shows with comskip. Unfortunately Mezzmo server is no longer being maintained, and is where Sage was when they were bought back in the day, so there will probably always be a need for Sagetv until its last day.

Many users see these random blocks when SageTV struggles to talk to the Schedules Direct API. I found a fix by checking the GitHub repositories for the latest open-source SageTV plugins. These errors often happen because of how the system handles security tokens during the sync process. I fixed my setup by integrating a fresh tv guide data stream by purging out my old cache files to stop the system from sending bad requests, and I updated the jar files to the newest versions found on GitHub. This process let me gather accurate data to better organize my TV listings and metadata.

I just looked at my installed plugins... found 8 that said there were new versions available...I updated all of them and restarted Sagetv, and wow...the server is moving way faster than it was, even during the file scan.. I dont remember the last time I checked those. I could have been years, I figured if there were new plugins, there would have been a messege for update on the server.. Hoping that was my slowing down problem...I'll have to check to see if there are more that need to be updated.

where are the plugins located?.. I've been hunting around on here, and havent found anything

Could you tell us which plugins you updated? I get nervous about updates lest something that had been working gets broken, so I update only when there's a clear need. A while back I accidentally updated the web server on my test system and it hasn't worked correctly since.

[jdaminc]

I dont know which plugins I updated... I just went down the line and updated everything. I figured it probably wont hurt anything if they needed updating
