Duplicate recording Scheduled in NEWA?

[jksmurf]

Thanks... I am out of town till tomorrow afternoon so I won't be able to take a look right away.

No hurry at all, thanks for your patience UJB.

Does the command line run anytime near when the NPVR EPG update runs? Not really sure if it would cause this anomaly or not.

Actually (until I disabled it) yes. It ran from PostUpdateEPG.bat.

I could try and run it manually to see if it causes the issue (no longer an issue after I disabled it seems).
Out of interest how often does the autosearch/autorecord actually run (and when?). I only used the command line to make SURE it ran once a day.

As Alex said... it runs once per day.....and for it to run you need to access NEWA itself.... so the first time you access NEWA on a new day it will run. If you do not access NEWA on any given day it will not run.

You may want to setup the command line to run via Task Manager like 1hr after epg update. could be that the auto record is running at the same time the epg is being updated and that may cause the dup recordings.

That's the way I have it set up.

Why not just run the CLI in PostUpdateEPG.bat?

That's the way I originally set it up in 2008 - it's worked ever since so I guess it now qualifies as a sleeping dog...

Just got back from 2 weeks leave (having disabled the CLI) and missed 5 recordings :-( - This could be why ....

That's what I used to do - but then I got dupes - maybe due to the time discrepancy?
In any case, can you tell the CLI to run an after the EPG update i.e. a "Wait 3600 secs", then run the CLI?

e.g.

This script waits for 1 hour (3600 seconds) and then continues on with the script and the user cannot press any buttons to bypass the timer (besides CTRL+C).

Code:

echo.
echo Waiting For One Hour...
TIMEOUT /T 3600 /NOBREAK
echo.
echo (Put some Other Processes Here)
echo.
pause >nul

OR: I could use

Code:

Timeout /t 3600 /nobreak >nul

Would this be OK to avoid the dupe issues?

Only way to tell would be to give it a go.... you may want to consider this batch pause utility.... http://www.sleepcmd.com/
