prevent recording on multi channels

[mvallevand]

Those logs are very old and don't show you scheduling a recording and duplicating the problem. I don't recall how to turn on verbose logging via the web ui.

On the Settings->About page, if you hold the Ctrl key, and 'enable verbose' button appears.

That said, I'm not sure you need verbose logging to see what's happening with scheduling.

I asked for verbose logging to see the actual select call on the advanced rule and not just the rule.

ah

There is no need for the logs,  I realized that NextPVR's web logic for All Channels from the web browser search or via the guide is currently broken and is actually creating a one channel rule.  When I do it from NextPVR the same issue can be see here.  I picked CBC News Network at on All Channels and because the show is not episodic they all have the same ID SH027790430000 and NextPVR happily schedules the same show airing at the same time and on different time zones.   The duplicate rule might be able to be enhanced so that All channels at the same time would be considered a duplicate too.  There is a risk there too since that can't be guaranteed,  so it might need a config.xml setting (that I would probably set)

The question becomes do you really need All Channels.  Wouldn't it be very rare situation that the show you are scheduling from the guide would actually disappear and only be available on one of the other channels?

I'll take a look at that. This is really a special case of Schedules Direct unique ID's ending in 0000. There is a good chance it's not related to obelix's problem though, since it's very unlikely he is using Schedules Direct.

For obelix's problem, it'll likely come down to what the unique id has been allocated for each show. If he is using DVB EPG, it's likely the unique id is the CRID the broadcaster is using for these shows.

obelix, can you please supply your npvr.db3, and an example name/time of a show that exhibits this problem.

I agree though - do you really need to specify 'all channels' when scheduling this recording?

Maybe the "All x on All Channels" should be changed to "A Single x on Any Channel?"

sorry for the long delay - was very busy these days...
the upload of the db3 (38MB) is not working. I will try to upload it to any cloud drive and provide the link
Heiter bis tödlich - Alles Klara (28)_20200603_08400930.ts
Heiter bis tödlich - Alles Klara (28)_20200603_08400930-0.ts

and there are _many_ more...

[mvallevand]

Yes there is a 2MB limit on zipped uploads and it fails silently.

I got the link and since there aren't any unique id's in the file I don't know how sub manages this.
