Double recordings via autorec

Added by Patrick van Velzen over 10 years ago

Hi All,

I have just managed to get the episode numbers column filled in my tv (with some help) and now I want to create some autorec rules to record my favorite shows. The problem is that TVH does not seem to look at the episode numbers and just records the shows everytime they are aired.
Can anyone on advise on how to get the episodes added only once?

Thanks in advance,
activ

Have a look at series link in the autorec rule (or, indeed, when you initially set the recording - you have "record programme" and "record series"), which should prevent duplication. If that doesn't work for you, there are a number of topics covering Python scripts and potentially code changes to tvheadend that will look for and remove duplicate recordings.

As far as I know series link requires a series ID number that I have no source for, so I guess I'll dive into the topics you mention.
Thanks.

I have just found a source that can deliver me this info:
"seriesEpisodeNumber":"122105901"

If I process this into an xmltv field, will that enable series linking?
And if so what field should it be in?

Thanks again for the help,
activ

If it's of any help... this explains the EPG database structure in case there's a way for you to manipulate it directly.
