Emby Not recording series - using wrong date

[Landoman 23]

Emby Version 4.9.5.0
When recording a radio program it is using the original AIR DATE and not the episode date for the recording. This means its been overwriting all shows.

Original air date: 14 May 2018
2018-05-14 - 1.ts

Hi.  Without any other information such as an episode number, the original air date would identify the episode.  Therefore, the same date would be the same episode...

[Landoman 23]

Shouldn't emby default to using the air date if no episode date?

I see that emby has, for some reason, set the air date to the start series date. 

Every single episode has the same air date.

I  have now checked other series.

</episodedetails>
 

Is there a reason there is no episode/other data for a radio program?

hi, what other data would you like? where should it come from?

[Landoman 23]

I just recorded the same show with Windows media centre and it worked fine with the full name of the show. 



name of show + air date. 

I do not know why emby is not picking this up. It is the same tuner.  The air date is incorrect for some reason.

Emby = Matt and Mollie 2018-05-14 - 1

WMC = Matt and Mollie_BBC Radio 1_2026_09_08_12_58_00

Hi.  Your screen shot shows it as a repeat and with the same original air date as we did...

Not picking what up? What are you defining as working fine
