Cancellation of individual pending recordings

[mmortal03]

It is currently possible to disable manual recordings via Kodi.  I may have also suggested Schedules Direct to you and it avoids this problem because you don't record repeats and you can disable EPG based recordings in NextPVR web too.

I *do* see an option to "Deactivate" a timer rule within Kodi. I will test that today and see if it doesn't get overridden like deleting individual timers. It does seem to mark the series recording as "Disabled" within the web interface, so that's encouraging.

Deactivation would be different since it doesn't get reset during the daily update.

For advanced rules add this to you rule to skip those deleted individual timers

Code:

and unique_id not in (select unique_identifier from recently_deleted)

Also, in case someone else finds this thread in a search, the current web interface DOES give access to the setting the ENABLE/DISABLE a recurring recording. It is the last field on the recording details screen labeled "Enabled:". 

Here's a screenshot. I swear I don't see such a setting, unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean by the recording details screen. Unless this is also only available for recordings using SD guide data rather than a manual recurring recording?

If you replace your existing manual-record-modal.js with the one attached, it'll give the enable/disable setting for manual recurring recordings.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot!

Awesome, that works!

If the shows episode ID is generic for the series, why not then put in logic to have the recording engine take into account the series ID and the date and time of the episode scheduled recording (when canceling an episode). That should allow episodes without unique ID's per episode to not get re-scheduled at each EPG update. (Though, if the same episode comes back on a different time and date, well, you will have to cancel that one too, no way around it when you don't have something unique to link too).
If its reliable, another possible unique identifier for a series episode might be its series episode designation (e.g. S02E03).

Sorry if I am not under standing the issue here.

If there series and episode number are available, then the application already uses these for the unique id if another unique id is not available. (ie xmltv, dvb epg etc)
