Tvheadend records every show

Added by J B almost 11 years ago

I've been struggling to setup tvheadend on unbuntu 12.04 for days and I've come very close to having a workable solution with XBMC as my front end. I ended up needing to switch to the unstable repo (currently running build 3.9.316~g238636f~precise) in order to get my ATSC services (delivered via an HDHomeRun) to map to channels. I had to manually map my EPG data to the channels but all is working on that end, things are showing up properly in xbmc. The final snag I've run into is tvheadend seems to want to record every show available in the EPG. My upcoming recordings tab has nearly 2,000 shows in it. What's also weird is that it never actually records anything. It says it missed the time. I don't know if this is a problem in xbmc or tvheadend. I've disabled the recording permission for the xbmc user but I don't see a way to bulk delete scheduled recordings so I can't test if that was effective.

I found this thread (https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/5622) regarding deleting all scheduled recordings but the solution does not work for me. Deleting the contents of the /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/dvr/log directory does nothing. Restarting the service after performing this operation repopulates the directory.

Any help is appreciated!

You might also have to clear the recordings in the "autorec" dir. ( but i am not sure).
Those are the scheduled recordings for a series.

Maybe first check what is in there.

Clearing the files in the autorec dir didn't help. I ended up creating a quick mouse macro to delete them all via XMBC, crude but effective. I confirmed everything was deleted in tvheadend. What I've found is that setting up any series recording results in the creation of a ton of entries in "Upcoming Recordings." Single episode recordings do not trigger this behavior.

I have exactly the same problem. Have 27 pages of upcoming recordings I did not program. If I remove the automated recordings, they all disappear.

If I record program for only a single instance, no problem, but try and record a series and the 27 pages of upcoming programs reappears.

Surprised that only three people have had this problem.

1/18/2014 Re-installed TVheadend, ver 3.9.373 on Linux Mint 16 and still have the same problem.

NOTE: This is actually Bug #1812 still unresolved
