Programs still queued from the past?

While trying to determine why an episode I already recorded was scheduled to record again (I figured that out) I ran across this.

http://127.0.0.1:8089/dvr/programs shows 156 queued entries from 2018-04-03 @ 19:30:00 to 2020-05-22 @ 15:00:00 out of the 2,236 entries.

SH003926090000-1522809000 queued-1522809000-12 (2018-04-03 @ 19:30:00)
...
EP033647680018            queued-1590184800-271 (2020-05-22 @ 15:00:00)

Shouldn't these have been cleaned up?

Can you search the logs for one of the recent ids to see when it was queued and why it got removed? What else is in the log that mentions EP033647680018 or 1590184800-271?

Must be not getting cleaned up in certain scenarios.

The latest one I do remember on May 8 it scheduled the May 22 recording,
then on May 13 the guide changed the episode name for that scheduled recording, so I changed it from queued to skip.

Went back further in the log and found where EP033647680018 was already recorded on May 6

Okay, so I guess program state is not being reset for skipped jobs

Don't know if that's the case for all skipped jobs.
I have one skipping at 5pm tonight and will let you know. I already have most of his, but have a Pass setup in case an episode airs I don't have, so I end up skipping most of them.

EP003926090102 1590278400-154 (SeriesID 477118 Rick Steves' Europe - S08E05 - The Best of Israel)

Did you notice the guide update on May 13 changed the episode being recorded on the 1590184800-271 job from EP033647680018 to EP033647680012?

Maybe that's why programs still shows EP033647680018 queued-1590184800-271

Nice catch! That explains it.

It did actually remove this one from the programs.
Earlier, I captured this line in http://127.0.0.1:8089/dvr/programs

EP003926090102:	"queued-1590278400-154"

After a couple recordings started at 6pm, I checked the logs and verified the line was removed from programs.

I think I fixed this in the new pre-release v2020.05.26.0118. Now when the episode changes it should clean up the old state.

Thanks, will keep an eye on it.
Since I just updated, I'll have to watch for any lingering entries since queued-1590457410-###

That brings up a question.
If the guide doesn't have season#, episode# and episode title yet for an upcoming scheduled recording, it shows up in programs as

SH028319680000-1591232400: "queued-1591232400-304"

When the guide gets the missing info, will that programs entry get replaced with

EP028319680049: "queued-1591232400-304"

What is the question?

I can wait until it happens and find out.
Was asking if this

SH028319680000-1591232400: "queued-1591232400-304"

will get replaced with this

EP028319680049: "queued-1591232400-304"

because if not, this entry would be left in programs

SH028319680000-1591232400: "queued-1591232400-304"

and could explain some of those old stranded entries

Correct it will get replaced with the pre-release.
