Description

Hello,
I have only one rule in automatic recorder - .* ... that means, I am recording everything. Yes I am crazy :) But this works fine.

The problem is that some channels update EPG data frequently, shifting the start of many programs by 2 minutes or 5 minutes or so. And automatic recorder records them all - that means, if a program was scheduled in EPG to start on 14:50, and then rescheduled by EPG to start on 14:55, it records it twice - one recording starts at 14:50 and the other starts at 14:55. Sometimes when rescheduling happens several times, it records one program 4 times or more, and I can find recordings in files ending with -1.ts, -2.ts, -3.ts, etc.

Is this an issue in tvheadend? I would expect it to delete rescheduled recordings before it sets new ones, if they overlap. Can I set any setting in tvheadend to skip overlapped recordings of the same name? Is this a bug?
