Sports Series getting tagged as sports

Hi,

 

I am trying to record sports series on ESPN such as "pardon the interruption" and "around the horn" these are sports commentary shows that air daily. Emby doesn't recognize these as series though and marks them as sports, so I can't do a series recording. Is there any workaround for this?

That's probably just how it is in the guide data.

@@Luke, do I need to escalate this with SchedulesDirect then? It's no fun having to manually record this show every day :(

hi @@dougw03, yes if you are still seeing this issue then that is probably the best course of action. Thanks.

Hi @@Luke, I heard back from SchedulesDirect today and they said that this is an Emby problem and not their guide data. Can you please look into this?

 

Here's what they said:

 

 

 

This is the raw data; on our side this is a "SH"ow and not "SP"orts program type, so I think you need to take this up with the Emby people.

 

            "programID": "SH005244340000",

            "airDateTime": "2017-02-27T22:00:00Z",
