Full Version: Can't record series for certain show
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
When I click on the listing for the tv series "Washington Week on PBS, then select "Record Series", nothing happens. Same thing if I select "Advanced" and select any option. But if I select "record Once" it schedules the recording. If I search for "Washington Week from the search page the same thing happens. I look through the entire guide and the series is never set to record. The series WAS set to record, but I deleted it and attempted to redo the record after I noticed some episodes were missing. It's almost like NextPVR still thinks the series is set to record and is keeping me from double selecting. I experianced this on the same channel before. Some series are scheduled in multiple slots and NextPVR won't let me record the same episodes twice, unless I select the all episodes option, OR IF I SELECT SINGLE EPISODE RECORDING Could something have gone haywire when canceled the recordings, so that NextPVR still thinks canceled recordings are scheduled?  I tried rebooting and that didn't help.
UPDATE: I might have figured it out. The exact same thing happens if I try to record a show that is not a series (a sappy Christmas show.)Could there be an error in the listings where each episode is listed as single show, with season and episode numbers simply text in the description? If so, would this be an error at SD, or with the data the station is sending? If anyone want's to recreate the issue on their own server, I'm getting 70194 OTA listings from SD.
Not all show are episodic that is why there are timeslot options
If it's related to shows you've recorded recently and deleted, you might need to run "nextpvr.exe -removehistory"
Good point I didn't even look at the logs or the screenshot, just figuring it was a news broadcast.

How do I remove history in Linux?
NScriptHelper https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/nscripthelper does allow method=system.removehistory so it is something like

cd /opt/nextpvr/system
/opt/dotnet NScriptHelper.dll -service:method=system.removehistory

If that doesn't work I am not sure I don't like supporting this utility because the documentation doesn't get updated.

You can also just open the web app in your browser (so that it's authenticated), then open the url http://localhost:8866/service?method=sys...ormat=json
With warning don't try the above link unless you want to do it!

That is true Big Grin
