So, SF crashed yesterday (it happens, not terribly worried about it). When it did, I was sleeping, and I restarted it a few hours later.
Unfortunately, it did this when it should have been checking schedules for platforms/channels. this led to me having to manually check around 40 schedules. Quite tedious.
What we need here is either a 'check all' option (to manually check all schedules), or at the bare minimum, a check channel option, so that all the schedules for said channel can be checked. The second would still be annoying to those of us with quite a few channels, but it's at least better than having to go through each and every schedule to check manually
Additionally, as reported, this does not automatically start these downloads. This should be changed. The scheduler needs to automatically start downloading these, once it's been determined what needs to be downloaded
Now for the question:
How does this tell what is new and decide what to download? This is a rather important question, because in many cases (Apple, Hulu, Viki), what SF sees as current is actually not. Additionally, channels like Peacock, Discovery + and others delay releases (see: This is Us and The Blacklist) to the streaming channels for days, sometimes weeks. Then you have channels like Netflix that dump everything for a season all at once.. So this , of course, is an important question to get answered for those of us with large(r) libraries
