Unable to schedule a single NFL game

[lemmy999]

I am running 7.0.1 (241229) on a Windows 10 computer and I use Schedules Direct for my EPG source.  When I use either the Web App or the Desktop App to record an NFL Football game, I am unable to get it to record just one game.  It will record every NFL Football game on that channel for the next 2 weeks, which is the maximum time populated by Schedules Direct.  

In the past I have always double clicked on the entry in the TV Guide, then clicked "Record".  I would then set the post-padding to 20 minutes to ensure that I get the full recording if it goes over.  I then select "Record Once" for Recording Type.  Then I click "OK".   The Keep is set to "All Recordings" because I do not want previous recordings of games to be deleted automatically.  

I will then look in the Scheduler and there will be a single pending NFL Football game (the one I scheduled).  Then the next week when more games are on, I will notice several recordings scheduled.  I keep thinking that I am doing something wrong so I am being very careful to select the correct thing, but this keeps happening.  I have used NPVR to record certain NFL games for many years and this never happened before this year when I upgraded from the old 4.2.4 to version 7.

I would check for other rules, if you want you can send the zipped logs and we can check.

Thanks. Where would I find the other rules? Ok, I will schedule a recording and see if it does it again and the send the logs.

I scheduled the recording and there was only one recording listed. I looked today and saw that more had been scheduled. I wasn't sure what the preferred method of sharing logs was so I used google drive. Here is the link

OK thanks, I wasn't thinking you were creating the recording in NextPVR.exe but it definitely is creating a recurring recording.

So that appears to be an issue with NextPVR.exe Try the web interface for now.

Attaching zipped logs under 2MB is allowed.

Actually I have had it do this if I use the desktop app (nextpvr.exe) or the web interface. I was actually using the web interface when I first noticed it and then tried the desktop app to see if it didn't do it.

I am pretty sure the web interface is working, I could easily have done 50 or more one-offs this week alone and never saw a problem.

Looking again at your rules the one in the list was old

<StartTime>2025-09-21T20:25:00.0000000Z</StartTime>

So you must have a recurring recording for NFL in your scheduler list.

I can't believe I didn't see that. I looked at "pending" and wouldn't see anything, then I would schedule an NFL game to record, then the next day there would be multiple NFL games schedule to record. But when I changed to view "Recurring" recordings, there was an NFL game recording.

Thank you. I hope deleting that will solve it.
