New episode checking, failures

RobinD42

Several releases ago checking for new episodes mostly worked on the services I subscribe to, except for Peacock. I would always have to download manually there. It was annoying, but not terrible to have to do that. Amazon, Netflix, Hulu and as few others were very reliable and only occasionally had the “Failure to check for new episode(s), please download manually.” error message.

Now it seems that the situation has reversed. Peacock and Paramount+ work well, and every other service I regularly use do not. I get the error on every scheduled item. I’ve tried wiping out all my subscriptions and resubscribing, but there was no change. Has anyone discovered any tricks to make scheduling new episode checks more reliable?

Thanks.

+1 I agree that something changed. I tried the same solutions as you. Deleting all the scheduled items and re-creating. No help. I even tried a clean install. No joy. I created a support ticket and after a few suggestions, Rain sent it to the developers. That was months ago . Paramount and Peacock are better but will still fail on some programs. I don’t think Disney+ or Apple have ever found new episodes. I thought Ver7 might address this but has not fixed the issue.

Every couple of months or so, I reset those, simply because SF has always had a horrible time with them. When was the last time you did the same, just wiped out all the schedules and start again?

Given that there’s been a major release update, maybe it’s time to do that?
