Feature Request: Multiple recordings same show


Recommended Posts

Posted

I would like to see the ability to somehow record the same show at the same time from multiple LiveTV channels (Different providers).

Right now the way I have to do it is to use NPVR as the second recorder.

 

Maybe there already is a way to do this, if so please share.

As long as they are on different channels (not sure them being different providers makes any difference) for me this works already and I use it regularly. If I'm recording the football then I'll record on both the main and backup channel.

 

Nothing magical, I just schedule both programs. Both get saved to the same folder, one has a -1 appended

Yes, you can do it manually, but doesn't work for scheduled shows. Only allows one schedule at the same time slot. I want the schedule to record multiples of the same show at the same time.

So i guess we would need an option on the series to not filter out the duplicates based on the show id's.

That would be nice

Moved to feature requests.

Just out of curiosity... Why...?

Mainly for backup/redundancy.

I have multiple providers and sometimes one of the streams has an issue during the recording. I only need it for certain shows, not everything.

If I can do this, I can get rid of the NPVR plug-in I run from another server.
