ICAL feed missing episodes

tvholic wrote 9 years ago: 1

There are quite a few upcoming episodes that are listed on my Calendar page but aren't present in my ICAL feed, starting on July 10. It seems to be affecting certain shows, but I think it may be based on when the episodes were added to the database. I can give more specifics if it's not readily apparent what's missing.

Yes, please give an example of an episode that's missing. :)

I just downloaded a new copy of my ICAL and the episodes that were missing an hour ago are there.

I'm sure the missing episodes were not all added to the database in the last hour.

They are actually all in there. For example;

It looks like it was a browser caching issue. So never mind, except that it would be useful if there were a field in the .ICS file that showed the time the feed was generated.

That's the DTSTAMP field ;-)

Ah, I was looking for something at the top of the file, instead of in every event. :)

So I was dealing with cached week-old data. Problem solved.

Strange, but luckily not our problem to solve. Case closed!
