Simple duplicate episode handling question

[chasef]

Sub,
I'm lazy and haven't figured out exactly how it works so...does the duplicate episode handling leave any duplicate episodes in the Recordings section listed as "Failed"? Assume for all cases, here, that the shows do have identifiers that are actually unique.

No. It'll just never schedule a recording if sees you've already got another recording with the same ID.

Well, damn, Zap2It's listings must suck royally cause I haven't had a single duplicate episode NOT be listed in Pending, yet. What's the deal with their data, anyway? I've had more than a few errors in their episode specificity information >_<

If you've got a specific example show, I'm happy to look in the data to confirm everything is behaving correctly.

Heh, well, I looked inside the .mdb file and most of the shows didn't have an identifier, period. But, the ones I routinely have problems with are: Full Metal Alchemist, Good Eats, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, South Park, Drawn Together, & The Boondocks. Thanks again for your help!
