Canceling Single Instance of a Recurring Recording Doesn't Stick

[pkscout]

We record Property Brothers, and they periodically repackage reruns as new episodes (they call them unpacked and have some behind the scenes stuff).  I understand why this shows up as a new episode to record, but since we don't want to watch them again I decided to cancel the recordings that are "unpacked" but leave the recurring recording as is to pick up actual new episodes.  The problem is that the day after I cancel the individual recordings they come back (I assume when the EPG update runs at night).  So right now my only option is to put a note in my to do list and cancel the recording the day of the episode.

I've attached the log that starts at midnight today (I canceled the recording yesterday), although I can't seem to find where the EPG update is happening, so maybe I'm looking at the wrong long.  As an aside, on 5.0.1.200209 running in Docker the button to get the logs is generating a 500 http error.  So I grabbed the log by hand and zipped it.

It's too bad you didn't send all the logs but it looks like the only Property Bros show that was deleted

2020-03-01 02:47:14.607 [DEBUG][27] - recently deleted episode : EP031670900040

was skipped.

DEBUG][27] ...already got this episode: EP031670900040 (recently deleted)

One thing to note with SD is that some episodes are generic and I see you delete these too

2020-03-01 02:47:14.607 [DEBUG][27] - recently deleted episode : SH012056120000

and they will always be recorded since they could be new or repeats.
