Hello,
Does there exist an option to refresh the guide more often or at another time during the day?
In days like these, very often there are special broadcasts added to the schedule on short notice shifting the start times in the evening. The Plex DVR won’t recognise this if one does not run a manual update of the guide during the day.
It’s not easy, but can be done with a scheduled task or cron job
First, in a browser browse to http://<IP_OF_PMS>:32400/livetv/dvrs?X-Plex-Token=XXYYZZ
( To find your token, look here: Finding an authentication token / X-Plex-Token | Plex Support )
In the xml returned from above, locate the ID of your DVR
So in my case, the Id is 12
Then using like Curl, issue a scheduled task/cron job like this:
Curl -X POST http://<IP_OF_PMS>:32400/livetv/dvrs/<DVR_KEY_FROM_ABOVE>/reloadGuide?X-Plex-Token=XXYYZZ
Many thanks for your response, @dane22!
I tried the above and figured out that my ID is 5.
But, when issuing the above curl command, or trying to access the same link from a browser, I do get a “404 Not Found” error.
Any idea as to why this is failing?
http://192.168.178.21:32400/livetv/dvrs/5/reloadGuide?X-Plex-Token=XXYYZZ
When testing with curl, try enclosing the URL in double-quotes:
curl -X POST "http://<IP_OF_PMS>:32400/livetv/dvrs/<DVR_KEY_FROM_ABOVE>/reloadGuide?X-Plex-Token=XXYYZZ"
And, of course, ensure you replace ‘XXYYZZ’ with your actual Plex token.
A browser is doing a GET call
API needs a POST call, thus why you should use Curl
That did the trick, thanks!
