Description

Config
Linux 3.2.0-54-generic-pae #82-Ubuntu server 12.04
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

HTS Tvheadend 3.5.244~gf5c5ffd-dirty with dvb-linux-disable
XBMC 12.2 Frodo front end
Hauppauge 2250 dual tuner card using only the analog sides

I searched but could not find mention of this bug.

I selected "record series" for a particular show from the epg tab in the webui and tvheadend began to schedule recordings for what seemed to be everything.
I stopped it about one month into scheduling and at that point there were over 5000 scheduled recordings.

I have made changes to "v4l.c" to be able to use my tuner card but I don't see how this would inflence what I saw.

scheduling individual racordings via the XBMC front end works fine.

I'd need some logging info, I'd also recommend checking latest code.

Sorry for the late response but I've been in and out of the country with litte time to look at this.
At the moment I don't have a test computer to try and recreate this but one is on the way.
I'll try to recreate using the latest code as soon as I have a system up and running.

I'm encountering this issue as well. I just installed the latest version from unstable. I've made no modifications, and I'm using tv_grab_na_dd with schedulesdirect.org. As soon as I select the "Record Series" button for a show, the /home/hts/.hts/tvheadend/dvr/log starts filling up.

This is happening to me as well, using a checkout of master from Feb 5. It makes series scheduling a bit challenging to say the least..
I tried enabling debugging but the log doesn't show anything before adding all the recordings.

Here is the relevant part of the debug log:

I now have 3759 new episodes in the upcoming recordings list, along with that many files.

I figured out how to turn on dvr tracing and saw this just before it added all the shows. Maybe the webui isn't passing something??

This is almost certainly caused by the suri error discussed in issue #2052. I have experienced the same and resolved using code from issue #2052.

Holy moly, did I make a mistake when I clicked "record" on "Daily Show with Jon Stewart". Now I have over 3k scheduled and counting.

Removed the 3k scheduled recordings in one fell swoop:

Removed the errant autorec entry from ~/.hts/tvheadend/autorec
Removed the scheduled recordings by emptying the files in ~/.hts/tvheadend/dvr/log

$ apt-cache policy tvheadend
tvheadend:
  Installed: 3.5.247~g098b7de~saucy
  Candidate: 3.5.247~g098b7de~saucy
  Version table:
 *** 3.5.247~g098b7de~saucy 0
        500 http://apt.tvheadend.org/beta/ saucy/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

For reference, the bad autorec object:

{
        "id": "2",
        "enabled": 1,
        "config_name": "",
        "creator": "julian",
        "comment": "Created from EPG query",
        "channel": "9-1 CFTODT",
        "contenttype": 0,
        "title": "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart",
        "approx_time": 0,
        "weekdays": "1,2,3,4,5,6,7",
        "pri": "normal",
        "serieslink": "ddprogid:/" 
}

But I have a good one that works properly:

{
        "id": "1",
        "enabled": 1,
        "config_name": "",
        "creator": "julian",
        "comment": "Created from EPG query",
        "channel": "5-1 CBLTDT",
        "contenttype": 0,
        "title": "CBC News Now",
        "approx_time": 0,
        "weekdays": "1,2,3,4,5,6,7",
        "pri": "normal",
        "serieslink": "ddprogid:///usr/bin/tv_grab_na_dd/SH01201714.0000" 
}

It looks like "serieslink" is not populated correctly, and acts as a wildcard!
