Conflict?

[jam_zhou]

Hi Sub,

here's the scenario.

Program A - 2:30 am to 3:00 am range is 1:00 am to 4:00 am
Program B - 3:00 am to 3:30 am range is 1:30 am to 4:30 am

In the recordings screen, it shows the exact time, but the resolve screen only shows the program name. This also produces a conflict. In the end though, I still get both recordings, so I don't resolve.

I've got two tuners working, now there's no conflict showing.

so monday @ 9:30-10:00
tuesday @ 9:30-10:00
wednesday @ 9:30-10:00
thursday @ 9:30-10:00
so i set it up 4 times for 4 different days of the week at that time..

conflict window shows
manual recording - 5/9/2006 9:30-10:00pm
manual recording - 5/9/2006 9:30-10:00pm
manual recording - 5/10/2006 9:30-10:00pm

it shows 5/9/2006 time twice even tho its set once..

and dont know why its saying theres a conflict with the 5/10/2006 one..

From looking in the database, I can see a successfully schedule recording for 5/10/2006 9:30, and a conflicted recording with the same name at the same time. The same is true for all the other conflicts you have listed in your database. Its like you've scheduled them twice, or had two goes at it and left the original recording in place.

You can also see these in GB-PVR. You'll see the successfully scheduled recording in the 'pending' list and unsuccessfully scheduled recording in the 'confict' list. These two list are not showing the same recording, but rather two different recordings for the same time, one successful, one not.

Hi Sub,

here's the scenario.

Program A - 2:30 am to 3:00 am range is 1:00 am to 4:00 am
Program B - 3:00 am to 3:30 am range is 1:30 am to 4:30 am

In the recordings screen, it shows the exact time, but the resolve screen only shows the program name. This also produces a conflict. In the end though, I still get both recordings, so I don't resolve.

I've got two tuners working, now there's no conflict showing.

Same offer to you, zip and email your gbpvr.mdb file and I'll take a look.

Those to times you've listed above wouldnt result in a conflict. The timeslot (range) doesnt have any bearing on this.

Heres another problem..

The recording times are set and nothing is conflicting. however you said there were more than 1 recording of the same show at the same time.

so i deleted those.

now as i add more (different time, different channel, under different file name..)

2 time slots (not the new one) seems to be also creating more recording times by itself and saying its conflicting with an existing one..

heres what i mean.


say i have channel 49 recording a show @ 11:00pm-12:00am every mondays
channel 49 recording a show @ 11:00pm-12:00am every wednesday

as i add more recording times..

like channel 55 @ 1:00-2:00am every tuesdays.

the first and second time slots would make an additional copy of itself which would conflict with the original recording.

so the more recording times i had. 2 additional (not including the one i actually input) would be created and i'd have to manually go to conflicts and remove them one by one. which takes quite a while for some reason (i counted. it takes 8 seconds to remove one, therefore if i add 10 more recording times.. the 2 channel 49 recording would replicate itself another 10 more times each making it a total of 20 recording times for the same channel at the same time hence its conflicting.

and this isnt just happening to 1 recording. it only happens when i set the recording to record once a week kind of recording..

theres 3 shows that dont air on fridays so i have to set 4 sets of recording for each of them. thats 12 sets of recording.. mon, tues, wed and thurs.

out of the 12. 5 recordings seems to be stuck on a self replicate state when a new recording time is set up. so each time i make a new recording time. 5 of these appear in the conflict section. this gets quite annoying if you set up a bunch. so its 5 new replicated recording time per new record so it adds on

Theres one show however that is set to record from mondays to fridays that seems to have no problem. so i came to that conclusion that this only happens when you set it to record every week type of recording.

i'm supposedly using the latest version. so i'm stumpt.. >_<


p.s
I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.. :p

Its possible there is some bug with manual reoccurring recording, so I'll have a look this afternoon. These arent used by many people, including myself, so this feature doesnt get much testing.

These were manual reoccurring recordings right? As in using the 'Manual Rec' button instead of scheduling from the TV Guide?

Hi,

Well, my wife uses this and seems to think she is so fat she counts as many. In fact she's not fat at all, just paranoid about it like most women

I did find and fix this the cause of this bug. The fix will be included in the new release due in the next few days.

Thanks for the good description of the problem, it made it relatively easy to track down.
