Hello, is there an option to configure Plex to load more than just 1 week of EPG?

My EPG goes out to 2/14, so 12 days. I think that is typical. Now I was having a problem in early Dec where I was not getting EPG updates. Turned out Plex was getting hung up trying to transcode a particular episode of a show I had recorded. I would restart Plex, it would get an EPG update and then at some point while doing a rescan, it would get hung up on the same episode. I eventually just deleted that episode, restarted Plex and the problem went away.

You don’t mention what type of OS/machine your Plex is running on. I use Linux and it was pretty easy to see what was happening by doing a ps and seeing what Plex was doing. You might get the same info with taskmanager on Windows. Not sure about Macs.
Best time to check would be when you think Plex should be idle. Should be minimal Plex processes running so any oddballs should be noticeable.

thanks

I run it in Docker on my Ugreen NAS.

How can I check it? I have no series recording etc. it just only shows 7 days in advance

I usually just do “ps -ef | plex” At the moment my plex box is idle and I only see 3 lines related to plex. I trimmed the lines up to make it easier to see what was running

/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server
Plex Plug-in [com.plexapp.system]
/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Tuner Service

ok this command is not recognized in Bash / in the docker Terminal of Plex. Howerver this worked:

ps -ef | grep -i plex | grep -v grep
root 39 1 0 11:36 ? 00:00:00 s6-supervise svc-plex
abc 215 39 0 11:36 ? 00:00:31 /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server
abc 242 215 0 11:36 ? 00:00:13 Plex Plug-in [com.plexapp.system] /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Plug-ins-8be686aa6/Framework.bundle/Contents/Resources/Versions/2/Python/bootstrap.py --server-version 1.43.0.10389-8be686aa6 /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Plug-ins-8be686aa6/System.bundle
abc 305 215 0 11:36 ? 00:00:07 /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Tuner Service /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Tuner/Private /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Tuner/Shared 1.43.0.10389-8be686aa6 32600

So same as you do :slight_smile:

However I shared the Server logs with @BigWheel , lets see - cheers
