First Run Only Question

[UncleJohnsBand]

Sub......I live in the path of Hurricane Sandy (far enough away from landfall for no issues)....some local TV channels cut away all night for local coverage on 10/29/2012. The CBS network appears to have not run their scheduled shows on 10/29/2012 and rescheduled them for 11/5/2012.

My recordings did run on 10/29/2012 and recorded the news.

I deleted the events from my system that were nothing but news.

I looked at my guide and 11/5/2012 has all the shows from 10/29/2012 on CBS....and they are flagged as new.......but they were not set to record.

I deleted the events from my system that were nothing but news.

I had to manually set each show to record on 11/5/2012 since my recurring recording did not pick them up.

Did they not get picked up by my recurring schedule because the episodes already existed on my system or is it a possible bug?

It's probably this. If you're willing to let go of your deletion history you can run "nextpvr.exe -removehistory", then do an update epg.

It is normal for files with the same unique_id not to get recorded as recurring recordings which is what happened with me for 2 broke girls on Monday. Normally this is good and the first run should not override it since first runs can occur over a time range. I have a potential solution, but it needs help from sub with a new scheduled_recording table type http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post444006

If I remember I will give it a go....as of now they are rescheduled and I have active recordings running so I will have to do it tomorrow if I remember.....

The trouble with this is you lose all the history of deleted shows.
