I'm using the Docker amd64 version of NextPVR, but I suspect that this is not platform specific...

If I initiate a recording from the TV Guide (specifically - click on a program listing, then choose "Record Once"), it looks like NextPVR processes this internally as a request to record the specific station, time, and duration (but not tied to the program name).  Most of the time this is not a big deal, but I've had a few cases where guide information has changed after I requested the recording, but before the recording happened.  In other words, the program that I intended to record was no longer running in the that time slot - the station aired a different program.  In these cases, NextPVR records the requested station at the specified time and duration anyway.  A "Record Series" request doesn't have this problem - it seems to try to match the program name with the guide.  Anyway, is there some way that "Record Once" requests can keep track of the original program name, and drop the recording if the guide data changes?

Thanks,
Doug

NextPVR schedules recordings when ... 1 ... An EPG update ends and ... 2 ... When a new recording request is added ... NextPVR does not know about EPG changes until the next update and it reschedules after each update.

It reschedules recurring records after each EPG update. However, it does not do anything with Record Once (or Alternate Airing scheduled) recordings.

The OP was doing a Record Once recording. So it wouldn't be changed. It is not a very common case that a guide would be updated to reflect a new show in a timeslot with a Record Once recording, so we haven't seen many (any?) complaints about this.

I actually thought the EPG event cache was updated on a one time recording when it changes. If this happened to me I'd prefer deleting a recording, they cost nothing.
