File name missing E01S01

[merlebeckman]

I messed up something on a new install, not sure what I did but recording file name is missing S01E01, this option is checked on the settings page.

Can you please offer some help?

[mvallevand]

If you are using the OTA ATSC guide that is to be expected. The metadata is very poor, not sure how NextPVR scraps it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am using Schedules Direct, it used to work before my system drive had to be redone.

[mvallevand]

That's your problem then, go to the Settings->Channels->Advanced tools and remap them to Schedules Direct by number.

Yes I forgot this step.  Now the channels are mapped to SD but I still don't have S01E01 in the filename?

[mvallevand]

It looks like SD isn't provide the full information for that episode. I checked zap2it.com and that episode was missing it too so it is likely a Gracenote source issue. You can contact SD if you are interested.

Thank you! after a reset it is working now

[mvallevand]

This kind of issue is show specific, just bad timing for your test. The ALF show that was on before that one would have been ok.
