I have a v10.11.11 setup on Ubuntu.
I have setup XMLTV so that it save programs for 14 days in a file on a network drive (nfs mounted into /var/lib/xxx/guide.xmltv)
It is the same NFS drive/dir that Jellyfin accesses al my videofiles so everything is readable for the Jelleyfin server.
When i setup it up i Jellyfin it reads the guide data from the guide.xmltv file fine.
The next day it is apparently not able to read the content of the guide.xmltv file.
The guide data in Jellyfin is empty and if i press update guide data manually (Dashboard - Direct Tv - Update guode-data) it just flickers a blue line and no data in Jelleyfin is updated.
If i change some setting ind the tuner setup i sometim es can get Jellyfin to read the content of the guide.xmltv fil but only sometimes.
Under planned tasks i have set the guide data to be updated at 7.30 each day because i automatically (cron script) turn the server of by midnight with a boot next day at 6:40 local time
I have testet that I can read the content of the guide.xmltv file ok from the jelleyfin server.
My tuner is a HDhomerun EU
Xmltv updates the guide.xmltv file 3 times each day
How do I get Jellyfin to automatically read my guide.xmltv fil and update the internal channel guide?
