Duplicate Simultaneous Recordings - NEWA

[XJW]

UJB - Thanks. Ive loaded the patch. It will likely take a week or so to confirm that there are no duplicates.

XJW, Servalan and pcostanza try the attached patch.

sub and I worked through how NVPR is processing the EPG load and setting recordings in comparison to what the auto-search/record is providing/doing. This patch should address (hopefully) both the issue of the dup recordings as well as the scheduled recordings not showing on the Guide page. This will not help anything already set as a duplicate recording but should prevent any future ones from occurring.

Patch applied & unfortunately, no change here. I still have scheduled recordings not showing on the Guide page. Let me know if you need any info - I have screenshots, but they won't tell you much.

Send me your npvr.db3 file highlighting examples.

Thanks.

Servalan, I think the app isnt gracefully handling the EPG show's times moving slightly, and ends up with duplicate listings in the EPG. It should right itself at the next EPG Update though, since it deletes all the listings(and all the pending season recording episodes), and reinserts all the new listings, and reschedules the season recordings based on the new listings. There should be no diplicates at that stage.

Unfortunately this isn't always the case. This morning after the EPG update - I have more duplicate recordings - made at the time of the EPG update & more duplicate pending recordings in NPVR - this is not a NEWA issue for me, all this happens within NPVR as described in: http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...ting/page4. NEWA just shows the wonky EPG data.

If it helps - the trigger appears to be that recording is happening when the EPG update happens. i.e. a show being recorded at 04:00, EPG update happens at 04:00 & adds an EPG event for 04:01 - then all the duplicates appear.

Let me know if you need more info. As the EPG data is now useless, I'll be emptying the EPG data & deleting all the duplicate pending recordings sometime later today.

You'll need to post the nrecord.log covering the time the epg update occurs, along with info about the duplicates you're seeing. The log should show me the old listings being deleted from the channel in question, deleting the previously scheduled recordings, and should show the new recordings it is scheduling, and these should only be episodes currently in the tv guide. In theory there should be no duplicate listings at that time, and no duplicates recordings.

Attached - looks like that's where the culprit is.

Duplicate recording was: 28th 04:01 - 04:30 ABC1

Duplicate pendings:
29th 05:30 - 06:00 ABC2
29th 05:31 - 06:00 ABC2
29th 22:05 - 10:33 ABC1
29th 22:06 - 10:34 ABC1
3rd 00:57 - 01:25 ABC2
3rd 00:58 - 01:26 ABC2

Here is a new update....I had messed up on some recording types.

I loaded the patch and restarted the recording service. I'll post back in a day or two if this eliminates the dupes and the recordings show up in tv guide view.

Where have I been? I just noticed there is a Recording Status Gadget! Please embarrass me further by telling me it's been there all along.
I need to learn how to read again.
