alienseeker 1 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 The "Upcoming TV" plugin only shows 4 to 5 TV shows at a time. However, I have many current running TV shows within MB3. So why is the plugin only showing a very few of them?
BATTLE DONKEY 98 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I don't have the plugin so I don't know for sure, but I think it uses info from tvdb.com, so the info has to be on the website first before the plugin can show the info 1
alienseeker 1 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 Prior to MB3 I was using the plugin "Upcoming TV" in MB2 and it work much better. It showed most, if not all, my TV shows (that is, shows that were currently in production). I recently purchased the new plugin for MB3 and it now only wants to show just a few of the many TV shows I have within MB3 for upcoming dates to be shown.
Koleckai Silvestri 1151 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) I didn't know there was a plugin. I get this in the native server application. It pulls information from TheTVDB.com. If the information isn't there or your show is marked as being in a country where it isn't currently airing, then you won't see it. Edited July 19, 2014 by Wayne Luke
ebr 15583 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 The interface in MBC is a plug-in but the data is coming from the server - so it is limited by whatever that is. Do you see the same information in the MBC plug-in as you do in the web app? 1

The web client is pretty much the master for all clients that tap into the Server for information. Compare all shows against Upcoming TV plugin and if you have the same then there is no problem.
Glyde62 50 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Only 4 showing 4 shows only also Sent from the secret room in the back of your closet
ebr 15583 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Whatever this limitation is appears to be on the server end. @@Luke, is the upcoming api limiting its results somehow?

No it isn't, My upcoming in Xenon is showing at least 8 maybe more.... I have 3 episodes of Suits, the first one of S03 Arrow, about 5 Sons of Anarchy, a couple of homelands, a family guy and something else i can't think of.
ebr 15583 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 That doesn't mean it isn't limiting it. It just means the parameters by which it limits it may have different values for you. Or it may mean it is only getting certain shows. I only see five or six of my shows in both places as well.
alienseeker 1 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) This plugin is still not working correctly for me. As I said above, I had this plugin in MB2 and it worked fine, but not in MB3. It will displayed shows that played yesterday, but none of those same shows are showing as upcoming. The screen shot below shows it displaying shows that played yesterday, but I need to know what is upcoming for which this plugin was intended for. As it is now the plugin is completely worthless. It only shows about 2 or 3 upcoming shows (always the same shows, like "Orange is the New Black" etc.), which is a very small part of the current shows I have and which are in current production. I hope the developer corrects this, because we who have paid for this plugin deserve better. Edited August 12, 2014 by alienseeker
Luke 39684 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 compare it against the upcoming view in the web client. we took feedback from your peers when we decided to show one day back to include yesterday's programs. people wanted to be able to see what they might have missed.

The web client shows the same listing.
Luke 39684 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 well it's possible the mb2 plugin used a different source. i really don't know. what i can tell you is that we're using the tvdb, so the info has to be there or you're not going to see it. so if you think something is missing, then show a specific example along with a link to the tvdb entry. we want to help but you need to present some concrete information.

swhitmore 781 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) I compared my upcoming list to SickBeard, which also uses TVDB. I'm showing the same shows on the same dates (17 different shows for the week). I've removed Wilfred, but I'm not sure what's happening to Crossing Lines. Edited August 12, 2014 by swhitmore
Glyde62 50 Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 In the web client it always seems to be a day in front of itself, Showing shows that are on tomorrow eg The 18th as being on today The 17th Is there anyway to fix this? And MBC is showing the same shows that the web client says are on today as being on yesterday!!!!
ebr 15583 Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Depending on where in the world you are and where in the world the show is based, you could see a day of variation here.
Glyde62 50 Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Trakt website always seems to show it on the right day Sent from the secret room in the back of your closet
