I have a pass to Record all Movies on a certain channel with record deleted but for some reason some movies will not record. I have Verified that these movies are not recorded ... Example the Mighty Quin?
My Pass ...
Misc
Re-record deleted episodes
Conditions
Channel > 849
Channel < 900
Categories CONTAINS Movie
It has a Category of Movie ..
Yet setting up the same Movie in SageTV with Guide data from Channels DVR using category Movie and the Channel it is scheduled to record. There must be something in the Channels DVR DB that will not allow certain movies to record. I checked and there are others the same way.
Maybe there is a clue in the DVR log?
I will look but there is no indication that it was recorded or even qued ... I looked at the Pass and there are many like this .. I kept wondering why some Movies were not being scheduled. My confidence in setting generic advanced passes is shot. I will submit the logs after 9:50 to support.
Here is another Harriet ... So it will not record.

As you can see at 9:03 It said waiting 2 hours 55 mins for next job.
Logs have been submitted as 9b457536-1f1d-497b-8c19-eaed8cd1ad62.
Hard to say without more information.
One thing I found and don't like is if you cancel an in-process recording, it marks it as skipped. Or if it's in your schedule and you change it from queued to skip, it remembers forever that you skipped it.
When it re-airs, a pass will not record it.
Maybe you started recording one of those previously and cancelled it, or changed it to skipped in the schedule?
The only way I know of to tell is find it in /dvr/programs
"EP032787330001":"skipped"
"MV006996690000":"skipped"
"MV009862710000":"skipped"
That is possible if that is the case then there must be a way to rescheduled canceled or skip recordings. A pass with re-record deleted should be able to reschedule these at a later time.
So if anybody in my House canceled or skip a recording then for all intents and purposes there is no way to re-record them well that is definitely not good.
The behavior was changed a while back when someone cancelled a recording of a sports game before the scheduled finish time and it tried to record it again. Used to be when you skipped something, it was only that airing that was skipped.
Well that sucks ... not sure who skipped these .. I will disable the Pass and Use SageTV. If this is the way it works then ChannelsDVR will not work in my household. I have tons of these, and I know I did not skip them all. What happens if there are no more tuners available and a recording is skipped over?
I also thought a regenerate of DB would clear this but it does not.

A Prune DB and Regenerate should take care of this but it does not. I also saw a lot of episodes on my DB that were skipped.
That is a bad there has to be a way to clean them up ... I definitely will not be using Channels DVR to record my Premium Movies or any for that fact.
Sometimes you have to skip a recording to record one that might be a first run... that conflicts with it.
I was wondering why I could not get the Lord of the Rings full collection it refused to record.
What I would like to see is The Mighty Quinn display as Skipped and the dropdown has an option to Un-Skip it. That way the pass can record it. Right now the only option on the dropdown is probably Record, which is like selecting record from the guide, which is a manual recording. If the guide data changes (airs at a different time), that wouldn't work.
I see it in your /dvr/programs
"MV000265910000": "skipped",
There are so many reasons why you would want to skip a recording and want to re-record it at a future date without checking the guide.
"MV000265910000": "skipped",
Agree. I was quite upset when they made that change.
Now you have to issue a curl command to remove each one from the DB.
curl -XDELETE http://127.0.0.1:8089/dvr/programs/MV000265910000
Thanks you answered my questions that release has to be revisited it causes more problems than it fixes.
Not going to use a curl command too many I hate work arounds or having to babysit a DVR. I just will record my movies and series I want to keep using other DVR software.
This what I came up with and I know we did not skip this many. This is as bad as the HDHomeRun DVR that you have to cleanup the database to re-record something.... you might have accidently deleted or skipped for some reason.

Like I said, I have to resort to using curl because there is no other way. It's a pain.
You have to decipher what show/movie the entries are for since /dvr/groups doesn't contain the tms id's.
I have to look them up at zap2it to see what show/movie it is.
"EP046266920005": "skipped", == https://tvlistings.zap2it.com/overview.html?programSeriesId=SH04626692
"MV000031270000": "skipped", == https://tvlistings.zap2it.com/overview.html?programSeriesId=MV00003127
Then try to remember why they were cancelled/skipped and decide if I want to mark them as unskipped.
Then to unskip them
curl -XDELETE http://127.0.0.1:8089/dvr/programs/EP046266920005
curl -XDELETE http://127.0.0.1:8089/dvr/programs/MV000031270000
For me, multiply the effort x4 because I run 4 dvr servers.
One of the reasons I stopped using the Homerun DVR is that if you accidently delete a recording and want to re-record it you have to file a trouble TKT to cleanup the DB unless you delete it with re-record which is not the default... In my opinion a Prune and regenerate should clean this up.
This is a deal breaker for me...as I have everything automated etc ... going through the logs and running Curl scripts to re-record a show makes no sense to me. How can a non-technical person handle this ? also a pass that has re-record deleted should be able to handle this.
