EPG Update - Recurring Recordings

[jcole998]

Attached is a log file set that was created just this morning.

I occasionally take a peek into the NRecord.log file just to check how the nightly EPG update ran. My question is about the update going through the new EPG and checking for any changes to Recurring Recordings. In the NRecord.log at 2016-04-01 04:22:54.775, the log shows that "Gotham" did not match recurring rules yet "Recordings->Pending" shows that it is scheduled. Same situation occurs in the same update log for "Blue Bloods" at 2016-04-01 04:23:08.811.

Can you help me understand what's going on?

Thank you.

... changes to Recurring Recordings.

Do you have multiple Recurring Recordings scheduled for Gotham? One for Monday, one for Tuesday and one for Thursday?

you've got two recurring recordings for Gotham. #68 has a odd timeslot limit, and doesn't match any current episode. #130 is a more normal "any day, any time" request, and records both of the episodes.

for blue bloods, you've only got one recurring request, with the same odd timeslot limit, and no episodes match.

Graham... There were multiple entries for Gotham and has since been corrected.

But johnsonx42 brings to light that the Gotham and Blue Bloods entries both have "odd" timeslot limits. In what way are they odd? Where does this parameter come from? Config.xml allows for specifying <TimeSlotMinutes> which I have set to 10, not the default 90. All the other recurring recording entries have no <TimeslotStart> or <TimeslotEnd> parameters. It seems that these parameters are forcing the scheduler to take the date into consideration which results in no match.

Most of the time, I specify that a series be recorded any time on this channel. This helps exclude shows that are in syndication and records only current season shows.

Thanks for the help.
