Recording a series identified as something else

[atreyu4055 17]

Hello all,

I'm recording episodes of a show which is being broadcast on one channel but is identified in my library as something else. This results in duplicate episodes being recorded despite the settings being correct.

See screen shots. Season 24 episode 38 already exists but is scheduled for recording.

How do I fix this? Do I need to edit the Metadata for the show in the library?

Thanks again

Nevermind... Resolved.

I changed the Metadata to match, refreshed / rescanned metadata, cancelled the series recording and re-scheduled a few moments later.... all resolved, existing episodes are now correctly accounted for.

Hi, thanks for following up. If you find this continuing to happen then you may want to consider disabling internet metadata on the recording library.

Hi Luke - Will disabling Internet Metadata on the Recording library affect the duplicate scan across libraries?

@atreyu4055it depends on whether i'm right that internet metadata is the cause.

It's also possible that renaming the series in your library to match the guide data would also resolve it. That might be a less disruptive change than having to disable all of internet metadata.
