Sub,
What's supposed to happen in the following circumstances?
Nova-t 500 using DVB-EPG
Reoccurring programme set to record every episode of a specific programme
EPG shows programme 20:00-21:00 and next episode 21:00-22:00 (same channel). default recording set to 1 min pre & 2 mins post padding
Pending shows 2 programmes queued to record
A different programme was set to record 20:30-21:30 on a different channel.
EPG receives update of reoccuring programme times to 20:05-21:05 & 21:05-22:05.
What I expected was 1st recording (20:00) would start on tuner 2, the 20:30 programme would record from tuner 1 and the 3rd programme (which is a follow-on from the 1st) would record on tuner 2. I also expected the times to get adjusted by 5 minutes when the EPG update arrived.
What actually happenned was the EPG update appeared in the listing as well as the origonal times for both programmes 1 & 3. This made it look like 4 episodes which is what then appeared in the pending list. When the 1st 20:00recording started it was followed by a second copy 5 minutes later. At 20:30 the 2nd recording started causing one of the others to fail, the sequence then repeated as each programme came up to its recoding time.
In effect I had multiple overlapping recordings all of which caused the previous one to fail :mad:
Should the reoccurring programme logic detect conflicts?
Is there anyway to avoid duplicates if the EPG times change (without reloading the EPG which I believe isn't reccomended on DVB)?
Hope the above makes sense.
