Editing Scheduled Recording Error

[pokepikaboss]

I am running NextPVR v5.0.8 (200823) on Windows 10 Professional x64. I have an "all series" recording scheduled that I'm trying to edit and is throwing an error upon saving. I believe it may be due to special characters in the title?

Steps to recreate:
In the web interface, I clicked on the Scheduler tab, changed the dropdown to recurring, click on the show to edit, change the directory to something different, click Save. It says "Scheduling Error" and "Unable to schedule recording at this time"

Recording Name: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
Recording Type: Advanced
Channel: [Any Channel]
Advanced: title like 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'
Pre-Padding: 1
Post-Padding: 1
Directory: Recurring TV
Keep: All

Error Message from nrecord.log

I tried removing the ampersand and colons from both the name and filter to see what would happen and got the same error. I am not having this issue with any of my other ~15 scheduled recordings. I tried deleting and recreating a few times, no luck...

Thoughts? Thanks.

There is a bug that I mentioned to sub and you can't edit the advance part of a advanced query.

I've just tried to reproduce it here with a show that had an ampersand in the title, and I was able to change the recording directory without receiving this error.

Can you please supply your npvr.db3? I'll try editing your recurring recording.

[mvallevand]

Sub, it is the rule itself that can't be changed.

This sentence doesn't read that way:

In the web interface, I clicked on the Scheduler tab, changed the dropdown to recurring, click on the show to edit, change the directory to something different, click Save. It says "Scheduling Error" and "Unable to schedule recording at this time"

These were the steps I tried to reproduce.

In the web interface, I clicked on the Scheduler tab, changed the dropdown to recurring, click on the show to edit, change the directory to something different, click Save. It says "Scheduling Error" and "Unable to schedule recording at this time"

I was able to reproduce this scenario with a "record series (all episodes, all channels)" type recording with ampersand or other special character in the name. I've fixed this for the next release.

No matter what options I try I get

Scheduling Error
Unable to schedule recording at this time.

Any thoughts??

Any thoughts??

You should have started a new thread since this is a totally different problem. You also need to attach the .zip file with the logs right after an attempt that shows the problem.
