Seeing what looks like maybe part of json data in episode titles and descriptions on recordings from this channel. Not sure if it came from Samsung, or if it wasn't filtered out by the container.
Double quote and comma at end of episode title", and comma at end of description.,
It's in the Channels DVR recorded file json and it's coming from the Samsung container epg, so must be coming from Samsung that way.

What happened?
You've requested a page on a website (jmp2.uk) that is on the Cloudflare network. The host (jmp2.uk) is configured as an Cloudflare Tunnel, and Cloudflare is currently unable to resolve it.
What can I do?

Please try again in a few minutes.If you are the owner of this website:
Ensure that cloudflared is running and can reach the network. You may wish to enable load balancing for your tunnel.
Samsung recordings have been failing for me since 2025/03/21 05:59 UTC
UPDATE: Working now after restarting the Samsung container 
Hey, just a heads up, I saw the same as you earlier, but I didn't restart my container and now it's working, so also 
OK, the container restart wasn't the fix.
Must be either Cloudflare or @matthuisman that fixed it.
Or Sunspots, or UFO's, or ...
my server was hitting its resource limits during its scraping which called the nginx basically.
I think ill need to separate them to two servers. one scraper, one serving

Would it help if we reduced the frequency of EPG refreshes?
I'm refreshing every hour. Could reduce that to every 2 or 3 hours.

nope. thats all cached by CF so there is no difference to my server between 1 or a million hits.
the problem is when the cache expires, and a new request comes in and the server is at resource limit - it just starts failing

Samsung guide data is stale again
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE tv SYSTEM "xmltv.dtd"><tv generator-info-name="www.matthuisman.nz" generated-ts="1743147496">

My Samsung guide is not updating any longer. Not sure if this is related to the recent discussions, so...
Several months ago, same issue. Changed path to http://......IP address...../epg.xml and it began working again til recently. I am in the US- East coast region.

Samsung guide data is stale again

Guide data was missing (stale) for about 16 hours yesterday, updated once about 12 hours ago and hasn't updated since. It normally provides 6 hours of guide data and gets updated hourly.
And it's Sunday 5am NZ time, so Matt may not see these posts for awhile.
Yea....hopefully it can be fixed for good.
This starting to become a bit on the more un-reliable side, like TVE sometimes gets.
And with the possible future looking like Pluto forcing a login to access their free streams, these super fast to add m3u channels, may become more difficult to integrate into Channels, and less reliable a source.
Still no guide data

Over 24 hours since the last generated EPG xml.
Per new OliveTin Alert
"Samsung-TVPlus XML data was last updated 2025-03-29T14:32:31-07:00"
Hopefully @matthuisman is still around and doing OK.
Maybe he's doing this
But it's Monday 11pm NZ time now...
I don't use @matthuisman's implementation since I don't use docker. I just goto 60 Minutes (hover over the link I supplied even though it says 60 minutes) for the guide. It's been out for 2 days but I just checked and the guide is back so it's possibly back for those who use his implementation. Let's see if it stays now that it's back.

That's the same one the container pulls. It's newer, but about 2 hours old.
I just checked a couple stations we watch (Bon Appetit, Hungry, Tastemade) and they're reflecting the correct shows I feel. My timezone is EST so maybe that's why? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to convey.
