Two icons for every TV show recorded

wowski · 2007-09-14, 10:01

I seem to always get two icons shown in Recorded TV when I record any shows, one of the files with a 0kB size. It is a little bit annoying having two icons for each show, and I also seem to have to press clean-up twice to get rid of the files. I haven't been able to find any posts about this.
I am using Mediaportal (latest SVN), but without the TV server setup. Has anybody else got this problem, and is there an easy fix? I have always had this issue, so assumed it must be something in my setup.

Thx

Do you have an EPG? I found that MP will ADD an icon into the recorded database for every file it locates in the folder of your storage drive. It will NOT purge old entries. Have you moved programs from one folder to another, even a subdirectory? Or, are you somehow pointing to the same folder twice? How many tuners are you using?

Thanks for the ideas. I think I have found the issue. I had the Movie database looking at the same folder as where the recorded TV was stored. Changing this seems to have worked.
Cheers
