Hi Smile

Got a slightly odd one here, I'm not sure what's going on. When I first set up NextPVR a couple of days ago at first I was using DVB EPG and made a couple of recordings with that data. Then, on Sunday morning i moved over to using Schedules Direct, and made a few more recordings. Now check the screenshot which is of Kodi's web interface showing my recordings. The first two at the bottom look fine, they have the correct title. But the 3 most recent ones only have "SxxExx", there is absolutely no mention of what show these are at all  Huh I also took a screenshot in Kodi itself which shows the same thing.


Worth noting that they display fine in NextPVR's web interface, see screenshot of that too.

And here's a copy of the XML for one of the problematic recordings, which looks fine to me, the title is here?

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<recording>
  <filename>/srv/media/nextpvr/The Great Pottery Throw Down/Season 05/The.Great.Pottery.Throw.Down.S05E08.ts</filename>
  <channel>Channel 4 HD</channel>
  <status>READY</status>
  <startTime>2022-02-20 19:43:02</startTime>
  <endTime>2022-02-20 21:10:00</endTime>
  <size>2999779328</size>
  <channel_OID>7158</channel_OID>
  <title>The Great Pottery Throw Down</title>
  <subtitle></subtitle>
  <description>Siobhán McSweeney is back, as the five remaining potters create a self-sculpture, build their own sawdust kilns and make candlesticks under pressure, for a place in the semi-final.</description>
  <uid>EP022943920042</uid>
  <firstrun>true</firstrun>
  <original_air_date>2022-02-20T00:00:00.0000000</original_air_date>
  <season>5</season>
  <episode>8</episode>
  <audio>stereo</audio>
  <quality>HDTV</quality>
  <genres>
    <genre>Reality</genre>
    <genre>Art</genre>
  </genres>
</recording>

So.. what do we think is going on here? Is this expected? It feels a bit sub-optimal to me Sad The recording data from the DVB EPG feels a lot more useful..

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

That is the default mode requested by many NextPVR users to show the S/E data and subtitle instead of the title. In setting change to Kodi skin styled recordings and it should look better

Note in Nexus this mode is not necessary and has been removed. Kodi added a series/episode sort so in Nexus this default has been removed and in 19.4 it is not necessary.

Sub, note the device logs include a lot of spam, not sure if you need it or not.

Spot on Martin, thats a lot better. Had to restart the PVR addon after changing that and all good now.

Thanks for the outstanding support, love it Smile

I guess the default makes more sense if you turn on the folders in the recording list as first you see the title, then series/episode after that. But I prefer one long list of recordings, so I'm glad it's an option.

The issue was really Kodi team not really wanting to add S/E support and sub had to add this hack. I won't be sad to see it go, it was always too hard to explain.
