Problem setting up recording for some programmes

[LeoL]

Hi,

I've been using NextPVR 4 for quite some time but for quite a while I've been having the same problem.

I set a Monday-Friday recording for a News programme. It has always worked fine. The other day it didn't record but I don't know why.

Looking in recurring recordings it was listed correctly but it was not listed in pending recordings. 

So I deleted it from recurring recordings and created it again. Still it was not displayed on pending recordings.

There were no conflicts and setting it to quick record the next day it appeared correctly. 

So I then deleted it and tried to add it again but the same issues occurred. 

What is going on? This has happened on a number of different programmes. 

If I choose different (new) programme and select to record the entire series it works fine. But on various programmes that previously worked fine it just stops working.

Does this mean that something is corrupted in a database or something?

I thought it might mean I had gone over some limit in the number of programmes I could set a timer for but this does not seem to be the case. BTW, is there a limit.

Any help much appreciated. Not sure if I'm doing something stupid or not doing something I should.

The recurring recordings will default to not scheduling episodes it already has recorded, or had recently and have been deleted. It is most likely this you're encountering.

You can run "nextpvr.exe -removehistory" if you want it to forget about shows that you've recorded/deleted in the past

Not episodes I've already recorded. New episodes, just same programme and channel.

Can I run "nextpvr.exe -removehistory" whilst NextPVR is recording?

Hit the update epg button, let it complete, then post the logs, along with the names/times of some episodes you think should have been scheduled, and we'll check the logs. I'm still pretty certain it'll be related to this.

Yeah, if you want.

You were correct. That fixed it. Thank you.
