NicoLaz 4 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Hi all! I'm on emby 4.7.5.0 and I'm encountering a strange problem since one of the last upgrades (I suspect the one to 4.7): for some (now all, read below) series, episodes get recorded multiple times despite having checked the "don't record episodes that already exist in my library" checkbox (yes, it's activated, I doublechecked on all jobs). When I look at the scheduled recordings, I notice that emby does not record the same episode twice if they are broadcasted on the same or a different stations as long as both airings are part of the guide data. The duplicated recordings are correctly safed to series' existing folder and are correctly listed as a new version of the already existing episode in my emby library after they were recorded, so matching after recording seems to work correctly as well. What does not work, is the pre-recording check with my library. What I tried so far: Deleted and recreated all affected recording jobs making => no change Re-identifying and refreshing of metadata of some affected series with option "replace all metadata" => no change Deleted and recreated my whole series library => that made it worse, now the double recording is affeecting ALL of my programmed series I would be very gracious for timely help, as my recording schedule is now a mess and emby did already miss some new episodes because of re-recording of older ones. Details about my configuration: Version: emby 4.7.5.0 Host: windows Tuner: HDHomerun network tuner Data source: Schedules Direct through XMLTV (because Emby guide data doesn't have my region) I'm doing series recording for a while now and It did all work well for multiple years till one of the updates that came in lately. Nothing else changed. What logfiles / data excerpts do you need to look into it? Thank you very much!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoLaz 4 Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Anybody that can help? Maybe @Luke? If you need a logfile to analyze this, please give me direction what action to trigger (perhaps EPG refresh?) and whether advanced logging is needed.

NicoLaz 4 Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thank you for your reply! You mean a recording of an episode I already have in the library? Will do. I will also provide the XMLTV entry that belongs to it that lead to the recording. I reactivated one of the jobs, I just have to wait till tomorrow for the recording to happen.

NicoLaz 4 Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 As a preparation, I already attached screens of the recording job, the recording schedule and my library listings for my example. As I mentioned, this now happens with all scheduled series' recordings - all configured the same way. I will post the log for the recording tomrrow evening. And please ignore the mixture of german and english - I just turned the app's language to english for the screens for the other board member's convenience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicoLaz 4 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Hi @Luke! Here is the complete log file from yesterday, containging the recording of the named example from "Young Sheldon" (S01E11). I also appended the screens showing the additional version now listed for the same episode in my library. Thank you for looking into it. Let me know, if you need something else. embyserver-63793440000.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37056 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 OK thanks. This should be resolved for the next 4.7.X maintenance release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoLaz 4 Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 Thank YOU very much, @Luke, for your support! Happy to hear it's going to work again, soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoLaz 4 Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Event if it's a bit late, I want to confirm that the issue is solved. A big thank you to the Emby team and @Luke! Compared to the situation before the update, I still got occasional double recordings. I analyzed the cases when it still occured and I found out they only happened when episodes of one series being stored in different folders (e.g. one whith and one whithout the production year). After merging those folders manually, the issue was completely solved. Just in case somebody else has the same issue: cleaning up your folder structure is the solution Best NicoLaz Edited September 20, 2022 by NicoLaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
