Problem with reoccuring recordings

[mitz]

Hi,

I'm trying to schedule a reoccuring recording from the tv guide, but it's not working properly. When I set the Record Type to "Record Season (all in this weekly timeslot, this channel)" it's recording *all* episodes of that program on the channel, not just during the specified timeslot.

Edit: This only seems to happen when multiple episodes are aired back to back or in close proximity. For example, this coming Sunday, they are airing multiple episodes of The Simpsons (or Family Guy) back to back on the Fox channel. If you try to record the first one as a reoccuring recording, it will record all 3 episodes.

I'm using v0.95.16.

Anyone else notice this?

This is normal. The timeslot season recordings record any show with the same name and same channel, in +/- 2hrs of the original show start time (or 90 minutes on some machines). This is done to account for periodic changes of show times etc, ensuring your show is still recorded.

This scheme generally works well, but obvious has problems with situations like the one you describe.

If you'd prefer it didnt do this, you can change the <AllowableTimeslotVariance> setting in config.xml...but dont complain when you dont get an episode recorded due to schedule changes.
