rectracker still work?

Does rectracker still work with CDKScheduler? I know purge won't work since it expects the MDB, but does it work with CDKScheduler at all still?

Sure rectracker.exe is still being maintained and it still uses rectracker.mdb. If anything is broken please report it.

The reason I ask is because I record Star Trek (The original series) and they have the same show on two days in a row. I always get both recordings, same description, title, etc. I'll have to wait and see if it still does it now that I'm on Schedules Direct. Maybe it was a flaw in the guide data.

I'll post again if I see it happen again.

I record NOVA using CDK scheduler and usually get two per week. This week I only got one because two PBS stations happened to show the same episode.

Do you have this line in your priorityrecordings.xml?

<DuplicatesAllowed>No</DuplicatesAllowed>

I also run zapimport.exe in my postupdateepg.bat so the zapdb.db3 contains the unique identifier that rectracker uses. I don't know if rectracker will need to be updated to work with schedules direct. I'm still using my last few days of remaining zap2it data...

I don't have the no dupes set. I do now. Will it detect it as a dupe if they're both in the same week, so no entry exists in the rectracker.mdb when they're both scheduled? What happens then?

Also, I hit seen it on the first of the two recordings, and it removed it from the schedule. The second recording (the duplicate) stays on the schedule though, it is not removed unless I press seen it on it also. FYI, when I do that on both recordings, there is only a single entry put in rectracker.mdb.
