I want to record a sporting event that has been rescheduled due to weather. I can go to the grid, find the channel and time and record whatever program is sitting there in the schedule (making sure to extend it appropriately), but when I come back to Channels to find the recording to watch, it will have the wrong name. I don't see any way in the UI that I can adjust this to help me remember that this program name is actually the game I recorded.
Is there a way? In the API maybe?
You can manually edit the metadata.
Channels Support - Metadata Editor
If you do it at the top level of a show, you can change its name.
For example:
It doesn't look like I can do that until a recording for the show exists. I was hoping to be able to do this when setting up the recording, although being able to do it afterwards is better than nothing.
Oh, I see. In this case, I think your best bet is to create a manual recording.
I recommend OliveTin for this:
Otherwise, I created a GUI app based on Python that can do this too.
OliveTin is much better because it also enables many other features that are not available in the official product.
Have you tried just trying to force a guide update?
I had not, I figured that the last update would have caught the change if it were going to happen. But, since you mentioned it, I did, and the show changed over... doesn't have the team names in the subtitle information, but having "Women's College Basketball" is a lot more informative than "Around the Horn".
