GBPVR scheduling conflict bug?

[buzzydotinfo]

Hi all,

I keep getting a scheduling conflict for two of my recurring recordings, which I think may be a bug.

I have two tuners. The PVR-250 records analog channels, the HVR-3000 records digital channels (via DVB-S). Most channels are available on both tuners, some are digital-only, others are analog-only. The preference is to record on digital - it's the top tuner listed in the config.

I have two recurring recordings set up. One program starts at 1925, and is on a digital-only channel. Another program starts at 1930 and is on a channel available on both digital and analog.

I'd expect the digital tuner to record the program on the digital-only channel (1925 start), and the analog tuner to record the other one (1930 start). What appears to be happening is the digital tuner is selected to record the 1930 program, leaving the analog tuner unable to record the digital-only show. We can resolve this by cancelling one of the recordings and then selecting "quick record" to record it, but next week we will see the same conflict highlighted.

Sub, is this a known bug? Am I doing something dumb? I can provide logs, more detail on config, etc, as required.

Cheers!

possibly try changing the priority order of the shows? i think it may be scanning in that order, so higher order shows get scanned for conflicts first, and hence your tuner problem...
put the 1925 show at top of recurring list..see if things change...
[use << >> to change order in recordings screen, top is highest priority and first to get checked]

if the 1925 program isn't lower on that list, it's probably not the problem then...

Yes, this can happen. (its been on my to-do list for about two years )

The workaround pBS suggests should work for now if these are season recordings and happens each week. Change the priority of the recordings so 19:30 recording is a higher than the 19:25 one.

Thanks for the responses guys. I hadn't thought to change the priority of the recurring recordings. From the sound of it, that's the solution I'm after!

Sub - I'm not surprised it's low-priority, this has got to be a very corner case
