I'm at my wit's end trying to figure this one out; I'm turning to the experts for a definitive answer.
For the longest time my setup was behaving the way I expected it to regarding conflicts with reocurring recordings. If a reoccuring recording ("A") with multiple air dates was in conflict with another scheduled recording ("B") I would delete "A" and after GB-PVR did its nightly EPG update (complete reload) it would schedule "A" again on the next available air date, if possible.
For instance, I had "Rescue Me" set up as a Season recording ("all episodes on this channel") and it always scheduled the first airing (Weds., 10pm). If I had a one-off scheduled for the same time one week I would just delete the scheduled "Rescue Me" episode and after the next EPG update it would schedule the next non-conflicting airing, usually an hour later (since they typically air them back-to-back here).
Now since I've switched over to SD via the I-XMTLV client if I delete the 10pm "Rescue Me" when the EPG updates again it will just schedule it again at 10pm, even though I deleted that recording the previous day and it's still in conflict with "B"!
At first I thought it had something to do with the new show marker " *" in the pgm. title since "Rescue Me *" and "Rescue Me" are treated as different shows but this isn't the case.
What is the expected behavior in my situation when I delete a scheduled (reocurring) recording because of a conflict?
TIA for any assistance!
(I'm running v0.99.12 (single PVR-250) with EPG updates from SD via the I-XMLTV client)
