checking about schedulesdirect.org

[pverhoye]

Hi!

In the latest version of JF (12.1) I had an issue with getting data from schedulesdirect.org (payed subscription). So I asked their support and they answered me:

All versions of JF including v12.0 still have SchedulesDirect bugs in them which eventually cause your account to get blocked; I let the developers know in Dec 2024:

forum.jellyfin.org/t-schedulesdirect-request-that-a-jellyfin-developer-contact-me
forum.jellyfin.org/t-schedulesdirect-jf-10-10-5-ignoring-response-when-requesting-images
github.com//issues/13147

JF v12.0 was released, but it still has bugs related to our API that cause it to perform a DOS against us.

github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/releases

You'll need to disable JF's native SchedulesDirect grabber and use something like EPG123 or one of the tv_grab_zz grabbers from the xmltv.org project to download schedules, convert to XML, and then import the XML into JF until the developers fix the bug; if you don't, you'll just get blocked again.

I saw that there was an old ticket about this but is this still an issue on JF's side?

Thanks for any answer!
Peter

Unfortunately, there are still issues even after all the fixes made for 12.x. The current issue can be tracked here: #18045

There is another attempted fix, but it may take a while for that to reviewed/ merged: #18048
