why did last night's scheduled recordings not happen?

I have a TV series "The Middle" set to record.  Every day there are (4) episodes to record, starting at 8pM.  Why didn't Saturday night's episodes record?

The episodes did record.  This shenanagin happened again, where they were put in the wrong place:

what are the contents of the middle folder, and then all contents of anything underneath ?

The 4 episodes that were recorded like should have been in the (2009) folder.

The log seems to suggest the Middle folder was already there. So basically you had two series folders in the database, both matched on external ids, and it arbitrarily chose one. Currently when there's more than one match, it does not do anything to try and choose the best one. So I guess that's an area for improvement.

Can you get this to happen on a new series with no pre-existing folder ?

Luke, the non-2009 folder has not always been there.  I can't say for certainty when it showed up, but over the past 38 nights of recording, this is the first time I found files in the non-2009 folder.

I'm not going to start recording a new series to test this.  Anyone can do that.  I've reported this problem before with at least 2 other series.
