Mark recording for re-record

[chDVRuser]

Had a couple episodes of a Series Pass record, but turned out the guide data was wrong and it didn't actually record the Series Episodes (it was other programming).
In order to re-record them, I have to either find a future airing in the guide and mark it as not recorded, or change my Series pass to re-record deleted.
I can't do either.
They are not in the guide (no future airings) to mark as not recorded.
I don't want to change my Series pass to re-record deleted, since I cut adverts out, move them to my archives and then delete the recording.

Can we get something on the recordings dropdown to either mark as not recorded or re-record?

I agree with you but for now ... Cant you create a pass with the Title and episode title ? To rerecord deleted.

[chDVRuser]

No, it thinks it already recorded the episodes and wont re-record them.
Ahh, I see what you meant.
I set up a couple advanced passes to record the seriesID and Episode Titles I missed and marked them to Re-record deleted episodes. Will see if it works if the episodes ever re-air.

I don't think that's going to work.
I think you have to first setup a pass with re-record deleted before you delete the recording.
Reason I think so is that the episodes are still listed in http://x:8089/dvr/programs as being recorded.

@tmm1 can you confirm?

Figured out how to Mark as not recorded using curl and the tms ProgramID EP000007460370.
curl -XDELETE "http://x:8089/dvr/programs/EP000007460370"

Would still be nice to have this functionality on the gear drop down next to the recording.

If a recording failed, it would be nice if ChannelsnDVR would attempt recording it again [Feature Request]

To expand on this, currently you get the red badge when you go to watch something that says the recording was interrupted. You have no idea if the recording is missing 5 seconds, 5 minutes, or 50 minutes. The only option you have to try and fix it is to delete the recording and it will eventually re-record it. I would like a setting on the server to automatically replace interrupted recordings. This way you get to keep the one you have which has an unknown defect, and eventually Channels wi…

Add ability to delete and re-record

Recordings don't always record properly. In the past few years using Channels DVR, I have had several problems occur that cause my recording to be incomplete: Bad or interrupted transmission (weather, power outage, who knows) Sporting event goes long, causes DVR to record sports program instead of show Breaking news interrupts scheduled recording Internet connectivity issue (when recording from TVE) Buggy daylight savings time adjustment implementation on NAS caused recordings to get wrong sho…

I would love to be able to override any recording rule just by manually selecting a show from the guide and selecting “record”.

I often do that, and it shows that it is set to record, but then is overridden and doesn’t record. No notice or anything.

That's a different request than what this thread's about.

I recall seeing similar requests as yours.
You may want to create a new request or look for one similar using the forum search tool.
As far as not working, you should create a new thread specifying how you're doing it and from what device and where it shows it will record and why you think it's overridden as a possible bug report.
