Problems with Autorecord for shows that span midnight (plus priority request)

[jksmurf]

Hi UJB

I have one problem and one request.

The problem is with Autosearch/Autorecord for a show that runs from 10:30pm to 11:35pm i.e. midnight or just before midnight (or even after midnight for that matter).

• If I enter 10:30pm to 11:30pm as start range the show is not found due to the 11:35 end.
  
• If I enter 10:30pm to 12:00am and click update as start range the show is found the first time I do this manually.
  
• However when I reselect the saved search it does not (no longer) show the 12:00am end time and the show is also not found when I click submit.
  

I checked the web-saved-searches.xml and the show end time IS shown there i.e. it must have saved, NEWA screen doesn't show it and it doesn't seem to work.

Shows that go to 11:30pm (or before) seem to work, and the end time "sticks", but as I cannot seem to type in the time i.e. the selection is either 11:30pm or 12:00pm, shows that end time after 11:30pm and before 12:00midnight have no viable option.

As regards shows that end AFTER midnight i.e. the NEXT day, NEWA seems to have a similar problem, in that they are not recognised either.

I thought I could get around it by using JUST a start time and having end time open-ended, but NEWA doesn't seem to like that?

From the web-saved-searches.xml you will see I have now taken away all the times (now) and it records everything I want, but it ALSO means that old shows (that end after midnight) are recorded, which I have to delete straight away.

My request for autorecord is for show priority based on either saying show X always has priority ONE or maybe by channel (sports vs anything else...).

Let me look around on the forum for your problem..... I think this conversation sounds familiar for some reason...and I think there is an explanation.

[UncleJohnsBand]

Which show are you referring to in the saved searches?

[UncleJohnsBand]

Did you save the search with a start or end time? I don't see any of the saved searches holding a start or end time.... need to confirm what you posted was to have a search with a start and or end time in it.... it there was to be....that would be a problem since none of them have a start or end. Let me know.

Hi UJB

As per my note above:

Code:

From the web-saved-searches.xml you will see[COLOR=#FF0000][B] I have now taken away all the times[/B] [/COLOR](now) and it records everything I want, but it ALSO means that old shows (that end after midnight) are recorded, which I have to delete straight away.

I did this so I didn't miss any shows, but I am also getting lots of shows I do not want recorded (the ones that start late e.g. after midnight). Shall I add them back in for you and post?

Can you ftp your npvr.db3 file to me so I can step through what may be occurring? You account is still on my server.

Can't see to get through, sent you an email.
However problem seems to have fixed itself?

Ok.. I did reply to your e-mail.

Did you see the problem from the built-in auto-record check that occurs within NEWA or were you using the CLI Auto-Search utility?

Sorry for delay, busy week. Within NEWA, although I DO run the Autosearch within postprocessing.bat. I have now uploaded the db3, and logs and xml to your site.
No biggie right now. Cheers.

Are you still seeing the issue or has it gone away as mentioned above?
