Reoccuring Recording Problem

[yeklim1]

I have just started using this great piece of software, but I am having a problem with reoccuring recordings. I am trying to record the 11 o'clock episode of the Daily show every night to get the new ones. When I select this episode and reoccuring(this channel, this timeslot) it records not only the 11 o'clock episode, but the 11:30 and 12:00 one as well. Am I doing something wrong or is this a strange glitch?

This is by design, to allow for when programs move around some. It records the show if it starts at your specified time +-2 hours. This setting is stored in config.xml.

Do you have any idea where this value is in the config or at least what it is called? If not I will continue to search through it, but so far nothing seems like it is it. Thanks for the help.

I'm not at my gbpvr computer so I can't check. Maybe you can search for either 120 or maybe 2?

Found a variable called "AllowableTimeslotVariance" set to 120 which sounds right. Gonna try and set it down and see if it works. Thanks for the help

EDIT: Yes! Worked perfectly, thanks for the help

Just to add to this one, is it possible to restrict timeslot to be the day as well as the time? One example...my wife likes Real World on MTV and it's on just about every day. I limited my time variance to 20 minutes, but if it's on another week day at the same standard time (re-run, etc.) it still picks it up. Is there anyway to limit the timeslot to the day? thanks!

You'd need to use one of the plugins, I'm not sure which one. Check them out at
