Recorded TV Duplicates

Recorded TV shows have date in file name and its creating duplicate recordings.

Anyway to shut off the date in the file name?

 

 

Thanks!

@@compmania15, why do you think the date is the cause of the duplicate? 

 

Thanks !

think he might mean duplicate file names, where a show has more than one episode in a day, but some tvshow file do not contain episode number only dates ?

 

imo in this case maybe add event start time as part of filename.
