Scheduling without repeats
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 9:59 am
What's the best way to use the scheduler to catch every episode of a series without repeats?
For example here in the UK we have series 2 of "In The Flesh" starting today. Episode 1 is broadcast five times:
May 4th at 22:00 as "New: In The Flesh"
May 5th at 00:45 as "New: In The Flesh"
May 5th at 03:00 as "In The Flesh"
May 6th at 00:30 as "New: In The Flesh"
May 9th at 01:50 as "New: In The Flesh"
If I right-click the first EPG entry and select "Record Any Time" I see the four episodes with New in the title. The third and fourth are greyed out. They ungrey if I deselect "only record episodes once". If I edit the title search to be Contains and "In The Flesh" I see all five, of which the last three are greyed out.
Does this mean that the first two will both be recorded? Or does it mean that they are both viable candidates and when the recording time arrives, the first one still viable will be recorded? I want to keep the search as general as possible so that the scheduler will have all five showings to choose from in case of clashes, but I only want to record each episode once.
Also is there any way of getting to see the downloaded DVB EPG details? If I put "1" in the Episode Number field, all five instances vanish, so clearly the part of the EPG that this field matches doesn't contain a 1! If I was using an external XMLTV feed I could just open the file and look at it, but I'm not. I guess I could use EPG Collector and look at its output but since the data is already in ArgusTV that seems a bit of a faff.
