I have setup season recordings for a number of shows. The system is recording up to 3 copies of each episode simultaneously. All 3 copies of the show will have exactly the same start time or will start within a couple of minutes of each other.
When I look at the TV Guide I can see that the shows are duplicated in the guide. When I look at the Pending Recordings screen I can see that the system is scheduling multiple recordings of the same show at or close to the same time.
If I delete the show from the "Recurring" recordings menu and then reload the EPG, all of the duplicates will dissappear from the TV Guide. The duplicates are not being downloaded as part of the EPG.
It appears that the duplicates are being accumulated by GBPVR. I am guessing that the EPG is being updated over several days with perhaps small changes to the start time. GBPVR is keeping the previously scheduled recording and adding a new copy with perhaps a start time 1 minute later.
I did not see this problem in the previous release of GBPVR.
Note: I have ticked the "Complete EPG Reload" option on the Capture Sources screen.
Is there a parameter in GBPVR that would prevent the system from scheduling recordings at the same time on the same channel ? Perhaps a timer that prevented recordings from starting within 3 minutes of each other ?
Can GBPVR be setup to schedule recordings based on just todays copy of the EPG. It appears to keep recordings from several days EPG reloads resulting in the duplicates based on old schedules.
Any ideas for debugging this would be appreciated.
