There is no change in behavior for SD data in 10.11; it is the same as 10.10.7.

The issue has been ongoing for about 18 months (at least) and doesn't appear to be a priority so it's anyone's guess as to when it might be fixed.
If anyone is in the UK and is interested in a temporary fix, I found this on github. It's especially handy if you're running Jellyfin on a Synology device because nothing else works.

It's not mine but it gives you 3 days of full EPG data, including images and thumbnails. You can use the DVR features and record things manually but series linking beyond those 3 days doesn't work.

XMLTV is also an option
https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv/releases
using tv_grab_uk_freeview or tv_grab_zz_sdjson or tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite should be enough
EPG Collector is also an option

Hey, I appreciate the reply but XMLTV isn't an option for Synology devices and epg_collector just isn't an option full stop, at least for me.

For Synlogy, you could use this

For myself, I don't need it as I've fixed the issue. I get a full week's EPG with logos, thumbnails and program graphics and the DVR works as well with series linking and no need for Schedules Direct at all.
That might be useful for someone else with a Synology device looking for a solution though.

1 - my generated listings file does not contain season and episode numbers so ignore duplicate recordings setting does not work.
2 - any recordings previously scheduled under the Schedules Direct configuration are ignored. I had to set up new recording schedules.
It's much cleaner to use the SchedulesDirect listing provider directly.
Any chance I could get a hand with how to get started with this? Basically I'm not finding how to get started with tv_grab_na_dd (actually as noted later in this thread, tv_grab_zz_sdjson).
What does tv_grab_zz_sdjson run on? is it just a python script? I looked for it on Git but can't really find any guides to get started with it.
Just for some background - I'm working towards moving from Plex to Jellyfin (both running on Unraid). LiveTV/DVR is important to me and Plex has pretty much abandoned that completely. This issue with SchedulesDirect is a problem because I can't find any other options for getting guide data into JF. I'm reasonably able to figure stuff out once i get started, I just need some context. - Thanks!
RE: SchedulesDirect: request that a Jellyfin developer contact me - Tiobso - 2025-10-19
I think it's a perl script and is part of the XMLTV package.
>#!/usr/bin/perl -w
There are docker containers out there for XMLTV that are pretty straightforward. I felt like the Plex Live TV section looked a bit more polished, but the Jellyfin Live TV works good enough for my uses. I have a cron job pulling 7 days of epg data every 6 hours and refreshing the guide with jellyfin's API. Just point Jellyfin to the .xml output file as a Tv Guide Data Provider. You might have to map the channels on first import by clicking the three vertical dots. Think it took a combination of copying other peoples scripts, referencing docker containers, and finishing it up w/ AI to get it working for me but it's been flawless since..

RE: SchedulesDirect: request that a Jellyfin developer contact me - williamthrilliam - 2025-10-22
For any mods that are prioritizing features, the xmltv workaround is starting to not work which means live tv is essentially broken (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/6103).
