Issues with file format S01E01

[Graham]

So i have a new xml file with good episodes numbers and the new dll file to ignore season and episodes numbers when they are missing... but i have always theses bad numbers on my recordings.
What happen ?

nrecord.log has this ...

This shows that NextPVR does not schedule a pending recording for ... 'On n'est pas couché' ... It appears that NextPVR keeps the original pending recording (with the original incorrect season/episode). I would expect NextPVR to reschedule all shows. I do not know why NextPVR is not rescheduling all shows.

You could try ...

1. NextPVR Settings --> Recordings --> hit the Export Recordings button.
   
2. Delete all Recurring Recordings.
   
3. Close NextPVR
   
4. Start NextPVR with the command line option ... -emptyepgonly
   
5. Start NextPVR with the command line option ... -recurring (to force a reschedule that will delete all pending recordings because there are no recurring recordings)
   
6. Start NextPVR with the command line option ... -updateepgonly
   

https://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php...ineOptions

Start NextPVR as usual ... NextPVR Settings --> Recordings --> Hit the Import Recordings button.

You might need to close NextPVR and ... Start NextPVR with the command line option ... -recurring

When you updated the NShared.dll, you put it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR" right?

Did you see that i have a new xml file (from other source) since 2019-09-10 which seems to have good episode numbers, but i'm having the same issue ?

I just imported your data, and checked these L'amour episodes, and they've both got the correct season/episode numbers listed in NextPVR now.

If you look at these episodes in the TV Guide screen, do they list the correct season/episode info? If so, then it sounds like you're just looking at recordings that were already scheduled. (as I mentioned, that patch will only help new show data being imported, not existing scheduled recordings)

Thanks, i will.

Yes, and i had to close NPVR and stop service before.

I just imported your data, and checked these L'amour episodes, and they've both got the correct season/episode numbers listed in NextPVR now.

If you look at these episodes in the TV Guide screen, do they list the correct season/episode info?

No : "no show details" is displayed in TV Guide but the xml file is well downloaded an contains shows :

If so, then it sounds like you're just looking at recordings that were already scheduled. (as I mentioned, that patch will only help new show data being imported, not existing scheduled recordings)

Not sure to understand : all "new" shows (after i updated the dll and changed my xml file) are recorded from "old" shedules i made before.

Should i delete and recreate all my shedules rules ?

Should i do what Graham propose to try ?

Thanks

Regarding the 'no show details', I can see when your EPG was last updated, it only pulled in listings for these channels:

019-09-15 04:01:57.478 [DEBUG][10] channelEventLists.Count=12

2019-09-15 04:02:04.566 [INFO][10] -channel: 'PLANETE+' has 176 listings

Note the channel M6, containing that show, is not in the list of channels that got listings.

I'm guessing at some stage your xml file has changed the channel identifier used for the other channels, so to NextPVR no longer see them as listings for the channels it knows about. (and any listings you still had for these channels were from old data still in your database)

[sub]

Should i delete and recreate all my shedules rules ?

Once you fix up your xmltv mappings, so that you get listings, you'd only need to reschedule one-off recordings. Recurring recordings will be recreated automatically as part of the EPG update, and will reflect your new guide data.

Hi

My issue seems to be resolved !

I think the problem started when i changed my XML file. This is what i did a few days ago :

After changing my file, i used "Bulk Map" feature.
From here, i had checked each channels by developping channel list in XMLTV Channel :



Most channels had the same name than in my old xml guide : these ones where already selected in the list, so i did nothing.

For others channels, names was different : i could confirm that when opening the list : the name was undisplayed and i had to select the good one in the list.

These channels was these ones (yes the ones for which the epg worked) :

2019-09-15 04:01:58.453 [INFO][10] -channel: 'F3 Bretagne' has 320 listings
2019-09-15 04:01:59.412 [INFO][10] -channel: 'CANAL+' has 218 listings
2019-09-15 04:02:00.421 [INFO][10] -channel: 'LCP' has 225 listings
2019-09-15 04:02:00.636 [INFO][10] -channel: 'CNEWS' has 103 listings
2019-09-15 04:02:01.552 [INFO][10] -channel: 'CSTAR' has 142 listings
2019-09-15 04:02:02.494 [INFO][10] -channel: 'TF1 Séries Films' has 192 listings
2019-09-15 04:02:02.649 [INFO][10] -channel: 'L Equipe 21' has 90 listings
2019-09-15 04:02:02.714 [INFO][10] -channel: 'RMC STORY' has 129 listings
2019-09-15 04:02:02.899 [INFO][10] -channel: 'TVR' has 268 listings
2019-09-15 04:02:03.290 [INFO][10] -channel: 'CANAL+ SPORT' has 141 listings
2019-09-15 04:02:04.021 [INFO][10] -channel: 'CANAL+ CINEMA' has 111 listings
2019-09-15 04:02:04.566 [INFO][10] -channel: 'PLANETE+' has 176 listings

So, i thought others channels was well linked to their EPG same names but they wasn't.


Because i now understand how to check the log file for good epg listing (thanks to you ), i made some tests to see how to force the good linking :

If i am in the Bulk Map, when the good EPG name seems to be selected, i have to select another channel, whatever it is, and then back to select the good one. Then update EPG.

OR

I just have to not use the Bulk Map but open each channel setting by double clicking on it and click OK (no more actions needed). Then update EPG.

After that, this is the log :

It seems good

Maybe a "Empty EPG" would have been simpler, i don't know...

Maybe a "Empty EPG" would have been simpler, i don't know...

Empty EPG would not have worked. The mapping of channels in the xmltv file to channels in NextPVR (from the device scan) has to be correct.

NextPVR stores all this stuff in npvr.db3 in the NextPVR data directory ... http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...alledParts

There are several software programs that can be used to examine the content of a SQLite database ... I use ... https://sqlitebrowser.org/

Thanks, i already use with success this software (MediaMonkey and Evernote databases)

It seems good

Great.
