Repetitive notifications from OliveTin for CDVR action "Channel Lineup Change Notifications"

Continuing the discussion from OliveTin for Channels: An Interface for Misc Channels DVR Scripts & Tricks:

This topic is based upon my previous post as follows:

Yes, I am receiving repetitive identical email notifications at the specified interval in the OliveTin action. I have killed and restarted the action for different intervals and the notification repeats according to the setting. This was triggered by a single source addition earlier in the day.

@mjitkop I took a quick look this morning, and it appears the issue has to do with these new "native" sources having underscores in the name.

The create_local_file_name function replaces spaces with underscores when writing, and then get_source_names_from_disk reverses this process by replacing all underscores with spaces. As a result, the reconstructed ADBTuner - app cbs never matches ADBTuner - app_cbs.

I also wondered if it could be something about the source name. I deleted the source and re-created it with a new name. I restarted the notification action with a 5 minute frequency, and am not getting repeated notifications. I have only received a single message about the creation of the re-named source.

Thanks for investigating, @bnhf, and thank you, @jsfullam, for confirming.

I was thinking about it since last night and suspected some type of mismatch between the source name and the file on the disk.

You saved me some time for investigation. :slightly_smiling_face:

I'm quite busy this weekend so I will probably not be able to work on a fix until next week.
