Can't kill reoccuring recordings

[jam_zhou]

I can't kill the reoccuring recordings. I once set xrecord or the default recorder to record all of Friends and Just For Laughs to check out the tool.

It seemed to work, except a couple of things.

1. It would always record on medium despite me telling it to record on low - actually, it records on low for the first episode then medium thereafter.

2. I tried cancelling the reoccuring recordings but they would always come back the next day - I would assume it does this after an EPG update.

I've tried xrecord and the default record so I'm not sure which is the problem.

Oh yeah, with xrecord and xguide, whenever I tried to schedule a recording it would not be seen in the pending recordings page so I just stopped using xrecord and xguide.

I'm using 0.93.10 and PVR150 combination.

What files do I check to see the reoccuring recordings and what log files do I look at to check out the problem.

Would uninstalling 0.93.10 and installing the newest version help me? I don't really care about any databases at the moment as I'm just testing all the features for now.

Thanks.

(Just started using GBPVR - it's great!!).

I had a similar problem last night - the reason was because the item - say Friends was in the reoccuring list *twice*. So it said something like

CSI: NY
Friends
CSI: Miami
Friends

And so every time I tried to cancel an individual Friends episode - gbpvr would automatically decide to re-record. GBPVR also didn't seem to realise about conflicting recordings at the same time.

I just removed one of the Friends items and it was fine then.

The problem I have is that, there's nothing in the reoccuring screen. When I say that it keeps coming back, I mean that the recordings keep getting scheduled even though the GUI indicates otherwise.

Ok, last night I went into priority recordings and found that both Friends and Just For Laughs were entries - despite no reoccurring recordings in my GUI.

I deleted all the entries and this morning nothing pending. I hope that this fixes things and doesn't break anything else.

I guess it doesn't matter in the end because I'll probably be uninstalling and upgrading to the newest version.

If you use XRecord and use the Schedule option, that is where your re-occuring recordings will show up for the CDK Scheduler package. CDK Scheduler can't use the built in re-occuring recordings because gbpvr doesn't support priority scheduling natively.

I guess that is problem solved then. Thanks King Argyle.

So, if I get this right then if I use xguide and xsearch then I need to use xrecord?

[KingArgyle]

I believe XGuide and XSearch don't require using XRecord, but if you use the Advance scheduling options of XGuide and XSearch, it probably is a good idea.
