Hi,

all programmes imported by my xmltv epg source are marked as "new" / "first run" / "premiere". The following gives an example of the xmltv source:

Code:
<programme start="20120222053000" stop="20120222090000" channel="ard.tvmovie.de">

    <title>ZDF-Morgenmagazin</title>

Which aspects are taken in account by npvr to consider a show as "new"? And is "first run = true" the default for shows where the "new" state can't be determined?

Thanks.

Correct. All shows are defaulted to 'first run' unless we know otherwise. This is done so that shows will be recorded if the user's EPG doesnt supply this information.

The Schedules Direct EPG source supplies an attribute that identifies whether a show is a first run. Xmltv has a <previously-shown> tag which is used to identify if a show is a repeat.

Okay, thanks.

The XMLTV that I am getting in the UK includes <previously-shown> for relevant shows as ...

Code:
<video>

      <aspect>16:9</aspect>

    </video>

  [color=#FF0000]  <previously-shown/>[/color]    

    <subtitles type="teletext">

      <language lang="en">English</language>

    </subtitles>

I made a mistake. This all works as expected.
