DVR AutoRec Entries

Added by Schmell Mafeet over 8 years ago

I have finally got my xmltv epg updating automatically, but now i notice that the DVR AutoRec Entries are not picking up any new shows after the epg gets updated. Is this a normal behavior?
Currently i can only seem to delete the existing AutoRec entry an add a new one. It kind of takes the Auto out of the equation.
How can i get the AutoRec to "rescan" the guide after xmltv update?

Not sure what you mean? If I enter something as Autorec, say a series, it does record all of those. Not sure what you mean by "new autorec enties". An autorec entry is always the same, ie a text string and stuff that gets matched. What actually is queued for recording can be seen under "upcoming recordings"

I mean that when i add an AutoRec Entry, only the shows that are in the current EPG/xmltv are added to the Upcoming recordings list. The expected behavior would be that after the EPG/xmltv is updated (twice daily for me), that any show matching that entry would be added to the Upcoming recording cue, but it is not.

Im not sure what the client version is but i think it is not relative.

OK. I understand. Let me see if I can dupe that, fwiw autorecs has always worked for me. I am away, but will look into this on wednesday.

Ok. I want to update you on this. After i have re-done the Autorec entries the shows were added to the upcoming list after the EPG update last night. I will keep tabs on this daily to see when or if it goes wrong again.
Is there something in the way of debugging i can run or use if something does go wrong in the future?
Thanks

You can turn on debugging in the tvh ui. Check "debug to syslog". Note that this does not survive a restart so you need to set it again if you bounce tvheadend.

This is what it looked like for me when I created an autorec entry for "Aktuellt" manually:

As you can see did it create new entries matching.
