Artwork for two programs with the same title

[mvallevand]

Kodi requires a directory styled view for recordings, so the series name cannot be duplicated and there are no hidden fields.  I have to figure out a way to convert the NextPVR coded group names into a human readable folder name.  I can do this with movies but series are quite challenging.

Try this these two updated dlls:

If it doesn't fix the issue for you, supply your zipped npvr.db3 and I'll take a look.

Hi again, sub,

I swapped these two DLLs and examined the web interface and the desktop app.

For the web app, it looked the same as with the old DLLs, with the same three different pictures associated with the show.  When I clicked on "NextPVR" and looked at "Upcoming Recordings", the picture for the new show, which records tonight, showed.  This picture did not show with the old DLLs.  However, the pictures of upcoming recordings of the old show did not show up in the Upcoming Recordings section.  I believe they did with the old DLLs.

Then I opened the desktop app and selected "Recordings", then "Ready Recordings".  There was one instance of the old program in this group, and the old artwork picture showed up in the UI.  This is correct (but there are two pictures floating around that get associated with the old program).  There are no instances of the new program in the ready group, only in the pending group.  This is correct.  No artwork for any program appears in the "What's New", "Pending", or "Recurring Recordings" groups.  I'm guessing this is by design, and, if so, the desktop app seems correct. 

I'll check later tonight to see if the new artwork shows up in the "Ready Recordings" in the desktop app after the program records.  If it does, and assuming that artwork is not supposed to show up for What's New, Pending, or Recurring Recordings, groups, then the desktop app would seem to be correct.

So, in summary, it seems like there still may be a problem with the web app, but I could be mistaken.  I've zipped up the NPVR.db3 file and attached it here.

I appreciate your support very much even for my "niche request".  I hope my feedback is useful to you.

Can you supply your npvr.db3? If it's too big to attach, you may need to put it somewhere like one drive or google drive and let me know the download link.

Hmm.  I thought I had attached the zipped db3 file.  I'll try again here. 

When I tried to attach the file here, it gave me a green check mark indicating all was OK,but then when I posted the message, the attachment disappeared.  The file is just over 5 megs, and I don't see any applicable limit.

Here is a link to the file on Google Drive.

Thanks - I can see it happening with your database. I'll find the cause and fix.

Could you also zip and supply your c:\users\public\NPVR-data\media\shows directory?

Do you see something similar to this?

Sure.  Here is a link to the zipped directory in Google Drive.

Thanks again very much for all your help.

Yes.  That's what I'm seeing.

One small(?) correction:  I'm seeing two pictures of David Ruprecht (old host).  You are seeing two as well, but they are both the same picture.  My second picture of him looks like the attached.
