Yep HTTP::Cache seems like one part of the answer.
I've just upgraded a friends machine and it (Myth) seems to try and
grab 'today's data, then tomorrows, then the day after? It does
sometimes notice that there is data for a certain day but not always.
The end result is that it downloads the nnn.dat files 5-10 times - ugh.
I'll check the source and see...
Yep, the myth algorithm is to retrieve one day at a time. Also, I
added some code to spot when there was a day with programs that are
still TBA ("to be advised"?), and it gets that day as well. This
might be why it downloads those days quite frequently.
However, I think using HTTP:Cache seems to fix that and other issues?
I will have a look at the myth code as well, but I can't be sure that
patches to make it do all days in a single hit will actually be
accepted...
Rather than patch Myth - maybe it's better that _rt behaves as other
grabbers and returns the data it's asked to return (ie it filters it's
output through tv_grep). (I know they don't _have_ to - but it would
reduce the load on myth's database)
