Recurring recordings not scheduling?

mattyb · 2016-09-11, 08:52 AM

This might be something simple... I've just tried to setup some recurring recordings (for 7 days and The Graham Norton Show) but the show doesn't turn red in the guide and it's missing from the Pending Recordings screen, though there is an entry in the Recurring Recordings screen. Any ideas? Logs attached.

Many thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure that the episodes you aren't seeing turn red in the guide and missing from the Pending Recordings screen are not being scheduled by your new Recurring Recordings rule because NextPVR already has those specific episodes listed in its "Recently Deleted" database. Specific episodes get put in that list for 1 of 2 reasons--either they were actually recorded and then deleted or they were previously scheduled to be recorded by a recurring recording rule, but then the user manually cancelled that specific instance from ever being recorded. When you manually cancel a specific instance, NextPVR stores the episode information so that it will not get rescheduled the next time the EPG update runs.

(Note: Always remember to make a backup copy of your npvr.db3 database file before testing.) You can use the "NextPVR.exe -removehistory" command to clear out that history and then "NextPVR.exe -updateepg" to have it reprocess and reschedule all of the recurring recordings. Then see if the episodes you're missing are now scheduled.

Matty, can you hit 'update epg', let it complete, then post you npvr.log?

It looks like it's successfully found and scheduled 'Graham Norton' and '7 days' this Friday. Are they not showing in the pending list? If not, post the npvr.db3, and I'll check it out.

Yes they're now showing. Many thanks!

Just out of curiosity how come the regular nightly epg updates didn't set this right?

It looks like the overnight EPG update did see these shows, and they were scheduled.
