Wot No Pending Recordings!

[jcjefferies]

We had Analogue switch off last night so most of the Mux have changed frequency overnight. I edited the transmitter ini file with the new frequencies, deleted all channels, did a rescan, updated EPG and all seems to be working except NO “Pending Recordings”. I check the logs and there is an error every time it tries to create a pending recording after the EPG update. Going back earlier in the logs there are numerous comments that “Frequency has changed so stopping recording from previous frequency”.

I setup a new test recurring recording the same as a failed one and did a recordings export. The only difference is that the “ChannelOID” has changed. I imported two recurring recordings where I had changed the “ChannelOID” to the new one and these now appeared as pending recordings. I edited the recurring–backup.xml and updated the “ChannelOID” of each channel, deleted all current recurring recording, imported the file and there were all the pending recordings.

Is there an easier way of doing this?

I think you have found the best way so far!
Every time you rescan for frequency changes the ChannelOID changes - I am so pedantic that I then have to go into the database and edit the OID's there to get the icons to show for previously recorded shows (twice per show)!
