Live TV Episode in Wrong Order

[Spaceboy 2573]

Hi,

 

I've written about this before. When there are two episodes of the same show on the same day the Android TV app lists them in reverse order. The picture that i will attach below shows the detail from the season level view. The 7-7.30 episode is shown to the right of the 8-8.30 episode which as can be seen is recording. The first episode is labelled part 1 but its in the wrong place. the effect is that if i played the next up episode i'm going to get the second not the first. and the end result is an unhappy girlfriend. can this be fixed please

Ah Yes.

 

Thats the "Find the next Emmerdale to watch game".

 

We play that a lot too!!

 

I assume it shows it as the same episode info for BOTH episodes for you to?

 

Was going to raise this later this week too - once ebr had fixed my HD Recording issues AND done "Stats for Nerds"

 

Glad youve started the ball rolling!

how do they look in the web app?

[maegibbons 1287]

For me they are chronologically in the wrong order going down the episodes.

 

i.e the most recent recording for the same date is shown 1st in the list - it should be last

 

They are tagged as the same episode.  Regardless of that the latest recording should be shown last.

can you show a screenshot? thanks.

[maegibbons 1287]

 

Not sure it adds much - the last episode recorded is the 1 second from bottom

This is consistent in both web app and Android TV, correct?

[maegibbons 1287]

Yes - but it is logically the wrong order in both

how do they look in the web app?

theres no comparable view in the web app for live tv series.

 

Within the recordings section of live tv web app they just display in recorded order, so fine

So this still seems to be an issue. Is the problem understood?

[Luke 42078]

I made a change several server releases ago. Can you please discuss a new example? thanks.

[maegibbons 1287]

Yes it certainly was fixed for me.  Have not checked recently.

Not checked mine for a while, got into the habit of renaming the second one with S/E numbers as they both showed as the 1st episode

 

I dont have one to test at the moment, already deleted last nights

 

But wondering what file naming needs to be used to get this to work (this naming is perfect for daily shows where there is one per day)

 

Emmerdale - 2017.03.10 - 19-00-00.ts

Emmerdale - 2017.03.10 - 20-00-00.ts

 

These are how mine get named, should these be ok now?

It's nearly a week till the double episodes to test again

Just regular emby server file naming. Recordings are just a regular emby library, so whatever gets them in order will be fine.

Thanks Luke

 

I will leave alone next time i record double episodes and hopefully all will be good

 the show is Emmerdale. its on twice on Thursdays at 7 and 8pm.

 

what i see now is that on both the web app and android tv both episodes are identified as Part 1 and Part 2 is missing. Currently they are listed in the right order the earlier one to the left. In windows explorer i can see that Part 2 has the same file name but with a -1 before the extension. 

[Luke 42078]

Great, thanks for confirming.

[Spaceboy 2573]

Great, thanks for confirming.

so we are in agreement that this is still not quite working properly?

[maegibbons 1287]

Hi @@Luke

 

The order is now correct but the episode lookup is not.  The Part2 still gets tagged as Part1

 

The show info in the guide shows correctly as different episodes but once recorded they get tagged as exactly the same episode despite having different filenames.

have you checked the guide data? we name the files with exactly the information that is in the guide data. thanks.

well obviously it is too late to look at last thursdays episodes but next week there are two episodes on Thursday again. the episodes have different descriptions but there are no episode and series numbers evident from what i see in emby. but they are there when they appear in the recording library. this is schedules direct epg.

[paulsalter 84]

Same with any date based shows that air more than one episode daily (eg Coronation Street airs 2 Eps on a Mon/Wed/Fri)

 

Looks like when it does a match with tvdb, it just picks up the first occurrence of the date and uses those details

Episode numbers are not used by the broadcaster so the only data we have is aired date

 

Emmerdale on tvdb
