V1.2.9 - Record requests and conflicts aren't always evident

[htewam]

I don't remember seeing this problem on 1.0.16... not a show stopper for me... just a petty annoyance. I did a quick search and didn't see this issue noted in the forum.

I found some odd behavior when I am trying to select a recording (B) that I was unaware starts before but actually overlaps with a previously scheduled show (A).

Use "Search Guide" to select a show to record show (B)... move down and select "Record" button. This returns me to the "Search Guide" screen -- where the just selected show (B) is highlighted in GREEN (not RED).

Proceed to the "Recordings" screen and look at "Pending"... show (A) appears in the list but not show (B). Go to "Conflicts" and I see the message "Good news, no conflicts...".

On previous revisions, I thought that when I selected show (B) for recording, I would get the "conflict resolution" screen to indicate the problem. This seems no where in evidence now.

No matter what I do, I get no indication that I shouldn't be able to record show (B) and no real indication that show (B) wasn't correctly scheduled.

I think the Search Guide screen is a bit weak at handling conflicts. It just doesnt schedule it if it would result in a conflicts. It's been the same in all 1.x builds. I've got it on my list to improve in a future build.

That would be nice, I tend to do a lot of my setting up of recordings from the search guide - possibly more than the TV Guide.
