Unable to re-record deleted episodes or mark as not recorded for Pluto source

Channels DVR Server Troubleshooting
#1

I think I mentioned this before, but can't find the post.
This episode recording was interrupted, so I found it airing again in the guide and marked it as not recorded, but that didn't work.
I then used the curl method which returned true, but that didn't work.
curl -XDELETE http://x:8089/dvr/programs/pluto%2F5eb457c71b274e001a2adec0%2FS1E1
I then changed the pass to Re-record deleted episodes, then trashed and deleted the interrupted episode recording, but that didn't work.

It's still in http://x:8089/dvr/programs
"pluto/5eb457c71b274e001a2adec0/S1E1": "recorded-691"

I'm seeing the first issue as well: the "Mark as not recorded" option in the Web UI doesn't work for any recordings that have any forward-slashes / in their /dvr/programs key (i.e., Pluto recordings). The server returns with a 404 Not Found error.

However, using curl is still working fine for me (when encoding / as %2F, as you're already doing) on the latest v2022.03.31.1937 pre-release.

Thanks for replying.

I tried it again, both with and without quotes on the url from my WIN 10 PC.

curl -XDELETE "http://192.168.1.3:8189/dvr/programs/pluto%2F5eb457c71b274e001a2adec0%2FS1E1"

and

curl -XDELETE http://192.168.1.3:8189/dvr/programs/pluto%2F5eb457c71b274e001a2adec0%2FS1E1

Although it returned true for both, it didn't work.

Then I tried it from the NAS running the DVR (linux) and with single quotes it worked.

curl -XDELETE 'http://192.168.1.3:8189/dvr/programs/pluto%2F5eb457c71b274e001a2adec0%2FS1E1'

I had been doing it from my Windows 10 PC, so must be something with the % sign in Windows probably needs escaped.

I'm seeing the same 404 Not Found response since Channels DVR isn't URL encoding the forward slashes

Windows needs percent signs escaped, otherwise %2F looks like %2 with an F after it and ends up as just F since %2 is being interpreted by the windows cmd processor as null.

%%2F is needed when running the curl command from a Windows command script (.cmd).

Now if we could get it fixed in the UI so I can quit using curl everytime, that would be nice!

Still broken. Still have to use curl to do what the UI is supposed to do.

Can this be fixed?
Mark as not recorded and re-record deleted still not working for Pluto recordings.
