Not really sure what this issue is related to but since it occurs in the guide I figured thats what I'd label it.

I currently use zap2xml to get my guide data. I use the -A parameter which alters the title of new/live episodes to include an * in the title.

It appears that when it alters the title with the *, NextPVR interprets any other listing of the same episode that doesn't have the * as a completely separate show.

The problem I am running into is if a series recording is set up that runs into a conflict, NextPVR does not realize the episode is being aired at a different time to resolve the conflict because it doesn't have the * in the title.

Is there any way for NextPVR to recognize that listings without the * in the title are actually the same show?

No - if the title is different, then it's treated as a different show.

Honestly, I can't see the point in adding the *. You can already turn on the 'new' indicator if you want new shows to be highlighted as new.

Thanks. Missed that option in Misc2. Returning to NextPVR after years of WMC, not sure if that option was available last time I used. Will enable and get rid of -A parameter in zap2xml.
