For Auto Record, when does it Autosearch the EPG? Only at EPG updates? Once a day? Only when you log in once?

I ask as last night a game did not record, and when I looked in the NPVR Guide and Pending Recordings Screens (i.e. not NEWA) other games with the same Auto Record criteria were not highlighted.

However, when I then logged into NEWA, the Recordings immediately showed as greyed shows i.e. "Autorecords".

When I then went back into the NPVR Guide and Pending Recordings Screen, lo and behold the same recordings that were missing 2 minutes ago now showed up :confused:

So I guess my question is what actually triggers an Autosearch, and what can I do to make sure that the shows I want to Autorecord are searched for? If it only searches after you log in, this seems to be a potential show-stopper, if you excuse the pun!

Would a "Search every 6 hrs" (Selectable) option make sense here?

By default, autosearch/record runs once a day, the first time you login to NEWA.

There is also a CLI (NEWA_Autosearch.exe) available here which triggers the daily autosearch/record without you having to login.

I have a Windows scheduled task set to run NEWA_Autosearch every day just after my EPG update although it would probably be better to use PostUpdateEPG.bat to run it.

It never misses a recording for me...

Thanks ACTCMS, that's exactly what I need.
It doesn't work when I run it, but I'll ask UJB in that thread. I put it in C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts with PostUpdateEPG.bat calling NEWA_AutoSearch.exe

In the scheduled task I specify the full path name of the .exe

Also remember, it will only work once in any given day whether you use the CLI or login to NEWA.
