If you guys can supply your zipped npvr.db3 file with this problem, I'll take a look.

That's what I did last night to see the problem.  I am still surprised that you don't see it on the web page.

Here is a pdf of what the web page output looks like Recordings.pdf

As you can see, it does not have duplicates of Arrow and the others.

That's some impressive collections of titles in your recording screens.

I'm taking a look at the issue.

So it looks like this entry is missing from event_details some of the records that were imported or ones I had to add by hand

<UniqueID>EP015693720002</UniqueID>

I read that the last 4 digits of that ID are the episode id and a 0000 denotes unknown episode, so I could probably just write a quick program to add that line where it is missing and use the appropriate EP code with 0000.

Any problem with me doing that? Or is there a way to get the true episode id?

I've got a batch in mind that should work for these ones where the UniqueID was not set.

This really should be core function not a batch file. I updated the NextTool code to do it too but it is not not something every SD users who imports should have to run now and regularly in the future.

Steve if you do it yourself just use the generic name replace the EP with SH and change the last four digits to zero.

When I said "batch" above, of course I just mistyped "patch". I think you go guys know I do nothing with batch files.

I've got a nice way for it to handle this scenario.

Great. Check FrogFan's latest comment 2 SD art IDs for the same show another issue that could be BrettB's issue too. Deciding were to put one can't be easily resolved without using original air date which is why the problem is so difficult.
