Tuner / Recording Conflicts

[bleck]

I'm pretty new to NextPVR and loving it, but found one issue that I haven't figured out yet.  I looked in the forums, but didn't find a direct answer.  Apologies if it is out there and I missed (if that is the case, please link me a previous answer).

I have a HDHomeRun with 2 tuners.  Now that I have several recording schedules created, I am finding that, occasionally, three shows are scheduled at the same time.  Since I only have 2 tuners, NextPVR marks one of those shows not to be recorded (shown as orange in the guide).  It appears that the decision about which shows get recorded and which don't is related to the order in which I created the schedules.

I can't figure out if there is a way (and how to do it, if there is a way) to set up recording schedule priorities... is this possible?

That is, if I really want to record Show X, but just happen to have scheduled it most recently, if Show X conflicts with two other shows it will never record.  I would like to tell NextPVR an order in which to consider the shows, including which is the "least important" show so that it can be skipped in case of a conflict.  

Thanks for any help!

Cheers!

I haven't specifically tested in v5, but I'm pretty sure that recurring recording priorities work the same as in v4.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to adjust the priorities from the web interface, but if you use either the NextPVR.exe client or one of the UI clients, you should be able to adjust the priorities for recurring recordings. Go to the Recurring Recordings listing screen. Then press the Stop button (or Ctrl-S) until it says "Sorting by Priority". Go to the show you want to move up in priority. Then press the Previous Chapter button (or Ctrl-LeftArrow) to move that recording up the priority list.

Thanks for the help.  I'm running v5 in a docker container (Linux) so the NextPVR client isn't an option, I think (seems that I saw a note that the client was only avail on Windows at the moment).  I suppose I will try another client or wait until the functionality is added to the web client.

Again, thanks for the pointers.

The UI Client is available via Kodi or nlite.
