I've got a recurring recording set up for my kids cartoon, "Curious George." I've set it up to record every day from 8-8:30am and to keep five. In other words, on day 6, it would get rid of the oldest one and record the newest.

But what's happening is that i've noticed it's stopped recording. On the TV guide, it's not red anymore that it's pending. It's set up as a recurring recording, but it's not registering it to do it. I've attached my logs. When this happened last time, I ran a command to flush the database. It seems the logic says that if i have recorded and deleted it, it won't re-record it. I just want the five latest episodes--whether or not we've previously recorded it.

That's exactly what it does. ie, it doesn't stop recording once it's reached 5. It deletes the oldest.

In your case, it's not scheduling new recordings because the only episodes it's finding are ones you've recently recorded and deleted.

I don't mind that it's finding episodes that are recently deleted--i want to record the latest one being broadcast regardless whether it's previously recorded and deleted. Is there a way around that? For my two kids, it's still new Smile

It defaults to keeping a 90 day history of deleted shows. You can set <DeletionHistoryDays>0</DeletionHistoryDays> in the <Recording> section of config.xml to reduce the history to zero days.

Thank you -- very helpful! i've been using sub's pvr since 2005... Will refuse to use anything else. LOL my kids (oldest is almost 8) don't know how to watch "regular" tv since all of their shows are (and have always been) streamed through npvr (previously gbpvr)...
