On my main Plex server, I am sticking to 1.16.0.1226 and so far, I’m still getting updates from Gracenote.
On a test Windows PC, I installed 1.16.1.1291 and found several issues as posted here. One channel is time shifted by 3 hours. One region is missing channel info for several channels. Several shows are being listed incorrectly as [NEW]. My work around was to set up zap2xml on the test Windows PC, which works quite well.
I’m going to wait until my main Plex server stops getting Gracenote updates in hopes that a solution will be found for the new EPG before I’m forced to update. If not, then I will use zap2xml instead. Zap2It uses Gracenote for it’s guide info, so at least the guide info remains unchanged.
In case anyone is interested, the following link is quite helpful in setting up zap2xml with Plex.
