After the guide update this morning it scheduled it again for Monday 8/12

But both airings are still scheduled to record.

If you can tell me how to force this behavior I would appreciate it (would be useful).

Duplicate episodes being scheduled from Pass
#2

So the recording today (8/12) was successful.
The next airing it had originally scheduled for Saturday 8/17 is still scheduled.
Will see what happens after the daily morning guide update tomorrow morning.
Appears the guide data at first (on 8/6) only listed the Sat 8/17 rerun airing and so it got scheduled.
Then two days later (on 8/8) the guide listed the actual Premiere episode today (8/12) and it was also scheduled to record.

I think because of this situation, Channels scheduled both to record, but my gut feeling is that tomorrow morning after the guide update, the scheduled 8/17 recording will no longer be scheduled.

UPDATE: The 8/17 duplicate airing dropped off the scheduled recordings after the guide update this morning. Log entry is a bit misleading, as the airing is still there, but no longer scheduled to record.

And now it's repeating the behavior with the next episode on Saturday 8/24 and Monday 8/19.

It's recording correctly, just confusing when looking at the schedule and log.

#3

Going to close this one out since CDVR is only recording the first episode.

Appears to be an issue with how Channels DVR chooses to record from a pass and the timing of the gracenote guide data updates.

It's confusing if you look at the scheduled recordings and the log, but it's working for recordings.

Since the devs haven't commented, I assume they know about this one.
