Can't delete scheduled recordings

[Druhl]

Hi all.

I see this topic come up occasionally but the issues discussed don't seem to address my problem.

I have a few recurring recordings ("all episode" or "keyword") set up. I also have prevent duplicates disabled in the config as I deliberately want shows to record more than once as a hedge against a bad recording.

However for certain recurring recordings I will delete some upcoming individual scheduled events because I know I don't want that episode.

Whether I do this from the local settings / web interface on my PC or from my KODI client, it makes no difference - the recording appears to delete, and disappear from the timers list, but somehow it will later reappear and the recording still happens. This appears to be a 100% occurrence in my case, i.e. the deletion always appears successful, but in fact is never successful and the recording always still occurs.

I've attached my logs which should show several deletions of upcoming recordings and also show that they still happened.

Thanks for any ideas!

If you have prevent duplicates disabled that includes checking against cancelled and deleted recordings. Consider a better provider I saw many failed recordings in those logs. Clearly you 30 of 30 rule is not working well.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

The 30 for 30 is my rule with the most undesired scheduled recordings I attempt to cancel individually, or stop recording if I happen to be present when I see one's started, and then I delete it. Is that what you may be seeing?

I don't think 30 for 30 ends up in my "failed recordings" particularly often, but I do have a couple channels I use often that do have this problem. I am looking into a better provider!

But for my original issue - as I do occasionally have a bad recording and was hoping by disabling dupe prevention I could help ensure with repeats I get a good one, given my inability to then cancel any of them as you point out - is there another way I might be able to schedule "all" occurrences of something yet still be able to selectively cancel some if I wish? Or no?

Thanks

For the 30 for 30 I know it was trouble when I saw that you had deleted one episode 12 time

Sorry I don't know a way to work around your probably with failed recordings You can manually schedule shows that you really want after the recurring recording on a different channel and time.
