Large XMLTV EPG Truncated

madmod · March 4, 2019, 1:50am

Server Version#: 1.15.1.710
Player Version#: NA

When I go to set up Plex DVR I get an “Unknown issue” screen when I attempt to load an XMLTV EPG from a URL. I was able to set up this same EPG service with fewer channels on an older version of Plex. (Not sure how to find out which version but if someone needs it I can dig.) To troubleshoot the issue I attempted loading the XML file with curl from inside my plex docker container and that file was correct. I also hosted the XML file with a different HTTP server to eliminate that. (Python SimpleHTTPServer. Same results)

Here is the relevant portion of the Plex Server.log.

Looking at the Plex Server.log I see that the XML parser fails at different places in the XML each time I test. I think there is an issue with curl_easy_perform writing into a buffer which is too small for the response. (26MB)

I’m willing to do any further testing that is needed to help resolve the issue. Thanks!

FYI I downgraded to 1.14.1.5488 (Docker public tag. I was using plexpass tag before.) and the issue does not occur.
