Auto Timer Problem with Repeat Recording (2.2 and latest 2.3)

[peakey]

Hi All,

I am getting a little ticked off with the auto timer feature, I have quite a few setup and I find that it tries to record the same episode loads of times.

I have changed the timespan to a specific time however recordings are still made for programs that start outside of that time frame.

I have also enabled the feature that should check to ensure you have not already recorded an episode with the same description but that has no effect either.

Am i missing a piece of config somewhere?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

No your not the unique description should eliminate duplicates, it is set to yes?

Yep i have it set to check all timers and recordings.

Even if i had that off though it shouldn't be recording programs outside of the timespan i define should it?

if you have that option off yes.

I have the same issue with it on or off.

Heres an example, I am recording American Horror Story on FX HD, i have set my recorder up to record off that channel and restricted the timespan to 22:00



When i check my timer list i have 3 recordings that start at times outside of that range.



I have had this problem on 2.2 and 2.3 images, it must be something i am doing wrong otherwise surely everyone would be getting this !

you can't have BEGIN / END Time span the same or it will treat as 24 hours

if you only want to search 22:00 to 23:00 make begin 21:50 end 23:10
