Few issues with recording schedule

[denz 426]

There are few issue with my recording schedule some of this has been reported elsewhere and all of there issues are related

 

1) New episode of Scorpion which is part of scheduled recording is set to not record it has a grey series indicator.

 

2) Daily Soaps even though I don't watch it has scheduled to record only one episode per week even though all the episoded are tagged as new

 

3) When you override a recording and go back in the tv guide you see a recording and grey series indicator

 

4) When you do want to overide you should be able to click on that episode in the series recording screen and that should bring up a recording screen now you have to look at the date and time then search for it in the tv guide to record it.

 

Thank you

 

 

 

All episodes are tagged as new so they all should be recorded even changing it to record all episodes it still shows that only one episode will record.

 

 

This doesn't look good there should only be one icon so maybe there should be a combination of two.

This is of neighbours as you can see it doesn't have repeat flag so it should be recorded and even when I change to all episodes it still does the same. I have asked icetv and they said there are so many episodes we are talking over 30 years that they just have the id. Many shows are like that they only have icetv id.

@@denz, for scorpion, do you happen to already have a season 1, episode 21 in your library?

[Luke 37068]

wait are you sure that's the right xml? in your screenshot above it's season 2, ep. 22, but in your xml it's season 1, ep. 21.

[denz 426]

Yes I am sure I copied the link that is in live tv settings. I think the xmltv standard starts from 0 so emby always adds 1 I noticed it does that for every series that have xmltv_ns

 

 

Found this

 

http://xml.coverpages.org/XMLTV-DTD-20021210.html

 

xmltv_ns: This is intended to be a general way to number episodes and
parts of multi-part episodes.  It is three numbers separated by dots,
the first is the series or season, the second the episode number
within that series, and the third the part number, if the programme is
part of a two-parter.  All these numbers are indexed from zero, and
they can be given in the form 'X/Y' to show series X out of Y series
made, or episode X out of Y episodes in this series, or part X of a
Y-part episode.  If any of these aren't known they can be omitted.
You can put spaces whereever you like to make things easier to read.

Ok thanks. do you happen to already have a season 2, ep. 22 in your library for that show?

[denz 426]

This is getting interesting there was a change of schedule so emby should have cleared the series recording indicator. Now in its place is ice age so it looks like emby is locking on the time but not the title.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also I already have that one in the library but it is a different title I just had a look I had ticked do not record episodes that are in my library. When I search for Scorpion Hard Knox in imdb it says it is season 2 episode 22. Twist and shout is season 2 but episode 21.

@@denz, the guide data probably differs from tvdb data, but i think the episode filter is the reason.

[denz 426]

I think that is why it didn't schedule and it makes sense, but still the series recording is incorrect it now has that it is not going to record "Movie: Ice Age"  so the filter is not working properly.
