TV Passes

[cage123au]

Hi, I am trying to get Passes working right. I find a series I want to record, I set the pass, but when I go into the guide, it does not show that the TV show is highlighted for a recording I hav e tpo do that manually.

Any suggestions...

The passes default to "new" I believe. If the program is not new or it is just not marked as new it won't record. Go into the webui and take a look at the pass. It will show the matches set to record. If there aren't any matches then try setting it to all programs instead of new.

May have something to do with the HDHomerun option for the XMLTV guide data in Oz

Creating Pass

Hi, I have created 2 passes for shows I like to record. One show is on Sunday>Wednesday and the other is Monday>Friday. The show Sunday to Wednesday shows at 7:30pm but also repeats at the next day12:35pm. I have set the DVR parameters to record New Shows only, so is there any reason the DVR is still queuing both episodes each day. I have been just going in and selecting skip, but not sure why it is even adding them. It is doing it for both passes created. My understanding is that is I set the…

In the future, showing us your pass settings would be helpful. Assume that no one has any idea what you are talking about and provide thousands of what you may consider unnecessary and obvious details. Now, there is something I want to show you: [image] Notice that when I search for "Stargate" that there are two different listing for SG-1, and their art is two very different sizes. If I click on the first one, I can see this is showing episodes airing on OTA and TVE: [image] If I click o…

I appreciate the help, however, you should also not assume that everyone knows hows to get the information you suggest putting in the thread. I do not care about the back end, all I want the program to do is set a pass and let the pass record the show. IF I have to get into the weeds I will, but I would have thought this should be straight forward.

Thanks for the suggestion, that worked somewhat. When selecting all programs it picks up the reruns as well, but that is a simple fix by just deleting those ones, and the remaining are the newer ones. It works so will use that method, thanks for the suggestion.

Would be nice if NEW selection only picked up new, but does not seem to find them. The workaround is fine.

Are you in Australia? Wild guess based on your username. I think there is an issue with epg possibly.

One idea is to restrict the pass to episodes by
Season > X
Or
Specific times that you know only new epiosodes air. Like 8pm or 9pm etc

This is contingent upon the guide provider marking the content as "New". If the guide doesn't indicate it, then Channels doesn't know about.

IIRC, there was talk in the past about DVB-EIT support ...perhaps @maddox can offer direction about whether DVB EPG is supported?

I am in Australia, right on that one... I will take on this suggestion as well. You have been most helpful. Thanks
