I am using: Kodi 19.0, NextPVR 5.1.1.210329 on Ubuntu 20.10
If I try to record a series that includes a ' in the title using with a Kodi timer by setting Type to "Record Repeating (keyword)", nothing is found for recording. This is similar to what has been discussed in this thread.
However, if I edit the "Search guide for" and replace each ' occurrence with "_", and put "KEYWORD: " at the beginning of the string, it works. The " " (space) at the end of "KEYWORD: " is required. Note that "KEYWORD: " is not displayed as part of the "Search guide for" string. Every time you edit the "Search guide for" string you have to put "KEYWORD: " at the beginning of the string so that programs for recording are found.
This seems like a problem with the NextPVR addon for Kodi. It might just need to process the keyword string before passing it to NextPVR. Is this the right place to post this?
If you can't directly link a thread with another it is best and easier for me if you open a new thread with the required support logs (Kodi debug and NextPVR logs)
