Recording issues with version 3.5.7

[gthornh]

I am experiencing 2 issues since upgrading to version 3.5.7.
1) When trying to map some stations EPG using schedule direct, some stations are no longer showing up in the mapping. They were showing up prior to upgrade. I checked schedule direct and those stations are still showing in the listing for my area.
I have included logs and the two stations that do not show up in mapping are 50.1 and 50.2. All other stations show up in mapping just fine.


2) When scheduling recordings using TV listings about half of the programs I try to record using All new episodes or All episodes option do not record and the TV listing for that show is not highlighted to confirm it is scheduled to record. If I check in" Recordings - Recurring recordings" the programs show up and listed as scheduled to record.

If I choose record once the program will record so I know it is not a scheduling conflict. Again this all worked just fine before I upgraded. NOTE: Also to ensure nothing is running I upgrade using safe mode. Has worked well in the past for me.

The Schedules Direct guys would need to look into this one. I've emailed our SD guy. He'll be along in a bit.

So it shows up in Recording->Recurrings, but not all the episodes are listed on Recordings->Pending? The usual reason for this is that you've either already some of these episodes recorded, or you've recently deleted them.

We can usually tell for sure by getting you to run "nextpvr.exe -recurring", then post the npvr.log and the names/times of a few shows that didn't make as pending (so we know what to look for in the logs).

You can also run "nextpvr.exe -removehistory" if you want it to forget about shows you've deleted recently.

There is a table in the NextPVR database that keeps track of shows that have been recorded recently. It sometimes gets in a pickle if shows are scheduled to record and then the recording schedule is altered. You can empty the history by running npvr.exe with the command line option -removehistory

I tried clearing the history using command line removehistory . Still no luck. I ran the recurring command line and I have posted the npvr.log file. I looked in the log file and I could not find Survivor or Chicago PD. Now it did show Chicago PD trying to load the icons but does not show where it was scheduled. It does show in my Recurring schedule in software as scheduled to record.

Thank you for your help.

That's not the log from when your ran "nextpvr.exe -recurring". Try again and repost the log. Make sure you don't already have NextPVR running.

[gthornh]

I ran again. Noticed I had extra character in command line. Hopefully is good this time.

Nope, that's still not right. You ran "nextpvr.exe recurring", but needed to run "nextpvr.exe -recurring".

When you run it correctly, you wont see the NextPVR app start, but it will have created a log file.

[gthornh]

Okay. Ran it this time and log file created and program did not start.

Thank you for the explanation. I did not realize the program was not supposed to start.

It found one episode to schedule. Is there more that it should have got?

I think the recording issue is fixed. Once you pointed out the switch I was missing I ran the clearhistory command again and that seemed to do the trick. At least all programs are shown in TV listing as pending to record.

The only issue I have left is the Schedule Direct issue. See original post.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry I was running the command line incorrectly and took up your time.
