Duplicate Recordings Problem AGAIN..

[dragonfiregum]

Just like the old version i am having problems with duplicate recordings...
At first when i updated to this version everything was fine.. like your update said ( and like you said your update would do )
Now for some reason i get the same show scheduled to record in like at 12:30am then 3:30am...
(run a search on my other post) if you dont remember...
anyone have any ideas?

Same problem here, with 96.12

Are you using the zap2it EPG plugin?

Do you have the 'dont record duplicates' setting enabled?

What was the show?

Hi sub,

Yes, zap2it with don’t record duplicates checked.
Mythbusters , UFO files, Dirty Jobs and others were scheduling and capturing duplicate recordings.
I deleted the duplicate pending recordings last night but WebAdmin logs the deleted shows, so I’ve attached a screenshot showing some of them.

Same here. Zap2it and "Don't report duplicates" checked.

Here's part of the recording-part.xml. The UID's are identical.

Can someone with this problem please email their zap2it username/password to at support@devnz.com and an example of the duplicate you noticed (title, time, channel) and I'll take look here in my debugger to see what is happening.

Possible related problem - 96.12 will not record what it probably thinks are duplicates, even though I DO WANT IT TO and UNchecked "Don't record duplicates" in Config. Example: a show called "Fresh" on VH1 twice a day, but GB-PVR only schedules the first showing each day.

Both showings were recorded in 95.15, but one of the two upgrades since then seems to have broken this.
