Feature Request - Do not record duplicates

Added by Magnus Ottosson over 12 years ago

Hi,

Is it possible to configure tvheadend to not record the same episode/movie if a recording alreade exists?

Could I otherwise request this feature?

this is not possible with tvheadend. Tvheadend is using a different design then, for example, mythtv. There is no central database in tvheadend where information about recordings is maintained. And because of that it is not possible to check what already has been recorded or not.

So implementing such a feature would mean a big change in tvheadend.

How about if we have an option to not record the show if there already exista a name with the same show?

Like now I get House.s01e03.mkv and if the show is aired again I get House.s01e03-1.mkv...

Problem is that some multipart documentary for example have several occurrence and the occurrence are not explicit in the title. So unless you add a date in the name, your solution will not record the other part of a multipart series.
