Choose recording for a duplicate episode

An episode of FBI was set to record and was pre-empted by the President. So, the first recording was recorded with president's speech on 1/8 and then CBS rebroadcast the same episode 1/15. In Channels, I only see the episode recorded on 1/8.

With Plex there is a feature where if it detected a duplicate episode it would give you an option to "play version ..." Is there a way to choose that I see the episode recorded on 1/15 instead of the one on 1/8?

If only one recording shows up then it sounds like the second broadcast was not recorded. It probably was not tagged as New so your pass might not have picked it up.

I looked in the recording folder and there are two recordings there.
03%20PM 35%20PM

But channels is only showing the 1/8/2019 recording in the web interface.

Huh that's weird. Does the Log show it recording on 1/15? Were there any errors?

No. Looks like it finished with Commercial Processing as well.

What does http://x.x.x.x:8089/dvr/files/3334 say

{"error":"file not found"}

Search the log for 3334 and see if it was deleted or something?

No. I don't see anything about a delete for file, 3334. I do see the other file ID, 3279.

So, 3279 is for 1/8 recording and 3334 is for 1/15 recording.

I get this output when I use the ID 3279, for command: http://x.x.x.x:8089/dvr/files/3279
