Zitat von CyberevilAlles anzeigenSeit gestern ist mein EPG für eine ganze Reihe von Sendern leer.
Jetzt lese ich das hier:
forums.openpli.org/topic/39533-dos-problems-started-again/
Betrifft das also auch uns?
Of course. Kodi - IPTV simple PVR in its native mode creates these problems.
Configure this plug-in properly for EPG!!!!!!!
Willy
I am happy it is working again, for the Kodi users.
At the moment the old problems with the thousand and thousand downloads from each user do not seem to be present anymore.
If you miss channels (EPG which was previous present) tell me at: http://forums.openpli.org/forum/52-en-ry…nd-epg-support/
(Grabbing EPG data needs continuous attention) Also check if the schedule which has gone missing is still present on some of the normal webpages which publish EPG dat, like http://www.tvtv.de/ or other websites.
It will have to be in English. I can read a bit of German, but nearly enough for solving problems.

In order to illustrate further the problem, we have in april now for 7 days:
for rytecxmltvskyde.gz 6,094,291 refused requests.
or 87 061 refused requests per day.
or 61 refused requests/minute.
And this on one server.
Pls. remove the requests for rytecxmltvskyde.gz from your configuration.
The file does not exist anymore. You will not get any data. It only generates traffic on our servers.
Willy
if you have an m3u playlist of 50 channels, it will/should request the epg file max 50 times.
the more channels people have in their playlist the more requests you get. the playlist i was providing had 60-70 channels and now 120+ (including radio
50 requests from each user. If you have 1000 users (not unlikely)
50 000 requests/day
German file is 5.12 MB. Or 256 GB /day
7.78 TB/month
Do I need to say more.
You should not only provide an additional way of importing the EPG. You should also disable this stupid way of importing in a new update.
Willy
Thanks for the info.
I have opened a thread on the KODI forum. Simply stating the above.
We will see what the future brings .
Willy
Conditions at which the software should confirm too before access can be granted again:
The software may for example not contain continuous update checks (like every 5 minutes or so), it may only download once a day, it must not contain a retry loop, it should not download between 3 and 7 GMT, etc.
The XMLTV files are only updated once a day, so continuous checks on updates are not needed. They only cause an heavy load on the servers.
It should accept no for an answer, Not retrying continuously. At the moment there are 4 mirrors. If there is a negative answer from one mirror, you can try on the other mirrors, but leave the one which said no alone.
Between 3 and 7 GMT. the servers are updated. When there is heavy traffic going on, on these servers we are not even able to update the servers.
So one successful download a day should be sufficient. No more data is the gathered doing more downloads a day.
In case of emergency there is a manual update request allowed. (i.e. the users presses a button : Update XMLTV manually)
If the Kodi community, will donate an extra mirror, I will gladly stuff it with the XMLTV-epg files.
Willy
Oh yes this are the protugal examples.
But there are numerous examples with the XMLTVskyde file involved. Same problem.
It is probably a rogue app. But since I do not have any knowledge of Kodi, so I am guessing.
But I found instructions to do this with a cron job.
And as you know cron jobs if incorrectly set-up you can execute commands every minute. etc....
I have contacted already somebody at Kodi. No results so far.
If we cannot find the culprit (and fix it) we will keep blocking Kodi.
Willy
Sorry for the reply in English.
At Rytec we are not against the Kodi community using our XMLTV EPG.
Only the grab plug-in seems to be badly programmed:
Some examples:

Which will lead to an enormous amount of requests. Here the file did not exist.
Also when the file did exist, requests came in form the same IP address 5 minutes apart, downloading the file.
We have collected now tens of thousand IP addresses doing the same.
This lead to overload of the servers, in so far I could not even update them anymore.
If somebody from Kodi will contact me, we can discuss how we can restore the use of the XMLTV files for Kodi use.
