There's _dvr_entry_update() function in src/dvr/dvr_db.c which should be called when the EPG entry is updated. And the behaviour should be as you described - update until recordings starts.. You should see some "dvr: Updated Timer" lines in your log. If not - it's probably a bug, but we need more information in this case..

Hi Jaroslav,

unfortunately no such entries found in the logs... however, I only have 1 week of log history.
Changed the log rotation and will wait for the next occurance.

Found just htsp_dvr_entry_update() being called. But I'm not that familiar with the code.
running 3.9.1950.

Thanks for looking,
Dietmar.

I'm talking about this function (no htsp): https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/blob/master/src/dvr/dvr_db.c#L729-L815

Yeah... But is it actually called when a recording starts?

No, it should be called when the EPG entry is updated.

Basically, the call sequence is: dvr_event_replaced() - dvr_entry_update(). The replaced function calls dvr_entry_fuzzy_match(). So, perhaps, the fuzzy match does not the right job for your case.

Observed one of the affected recordings in question... the EPG entry is now update with full info, and the scheduled recording has still the incomplete info. No "Updated Timer" entry for this programme in the log (I see those for other recordings).

What info do you need to track this down?

Thanks
Dietmar.

I observe the same. In an upcoming recordings section for a particular programme I just see start time duration etc without an epg description. However if I go to the epg guide and go to the same programme I do see a description.

I'm using Tvheadend 3.9.2440~ge95e23a as of now and still notice this where upcoming recordings have blank information even though the program in the epg guide has the episode information.

I have checked a completed recording for the same tv programme i noticed this issue with and the recording does not have the episode information either.

Forgot to add, this is happening with channels on astra 28e (examples being football focus on bbc one london, and soccer am on sky 1).

Hmm, maybe this finally fixes this issue?

Will test asap... ;-)

Thanks,
Dietmar.

So, it's fixed now ?

Need to wait until the EPG of a specific programme is updated... will then watch the recording in question. Next week I should know more.

Best regards
Dietmar.
