Recurring recordings

[sub]

I seem to have a problem where I set up a recurring recording to record on all channels and it only records on the "first," my channel 1 rather than 25 or 21, etc. It looks fine in the Recurring section, but no dice.

Can you hit 'update epg', wait for it to complete, then post your npvr.log? (I couldnt find what I was looking for in those logs you posted)

Thanks.

It doesnt like you single quote in your advanced rule. You most likely need to escape it, or maybe replace it with an underscore (which will match any character in that position)

Not sure where to do that.

My recurring-backup.xml has this, but not single quotes, etc:

Code:

Did you create a manual recording for this, or just choose 'Record All Episodes, All Channels' from the TV Guide when scheduling a recording?

Either way, you probably need to edit the recurring recording in the Recordings screen, and change the advanced rules field to change the ' to _

[kirschey]

I created it from the searchlite plugin so I am not sure which it uses.

Sorry to be a bit dense, but how do I edit the Advanced Rules? It is not taking any input from that screen. Is there a manual way to do it?

[sub]

You should be able to just go down to the advanced rules option, and press the backspace key to wipe out what is there and type whatever new characters you want to.

[kirschey]

Doesn't seem to work, do you want to VNC in?

[sub]

Yeah, ok - I've got a few minutes. Send me the details.

Worked fine for me when I tried. You probably saw me do it, and already know that though.
