[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1295132, member: 141969"] I have not encountered that problem myself, so I don't know what the explanation might be. Some questions: (1) What EPG are you using? (Example: I use the broadcast EPG.) (2) How often is the EPG updated by your TV Server? (Example: mine updates once per day.) (3) How many days does your EPG cover? (Example: mine covers 7 complete days.) (4) Have you enabled the [b]Always try to fill holes[/b] setting? (See [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/DVB+EPG']this page[/URL].) (My setting: [b]disabled[/b]) (5) Have you enabled the [b]Always try to update existing entries[/b] setting? (My setting: [b]enabled[/b]) What I [i]have[/i] noticed is that if I schedule a programme to record using the EPG, and a day or two later the EPG changes so that the programme times change (perhaps delayed by some number of minutes), or a different programme replaces the scheduled one, when I look at the "Recording Schedule" panel, the programme still appears in the list with its original name, but there is no date or time indicated. I use this as a signal that I need to reschedule the programme. In fact, I review the "Recording Schedule" panel every day in the morning, to catch and correct such occurrences (clearly you cannot do this if you are away for two weeks on holiday). The above problem will occur for one-off recordings, and for repeated recordings that have the "at this time" condition. The recordings that are less likely to suffer from this problem are those that are "weekly on this day of the week", while "every time on this channel" and "every time on every channel" won't encounter this problem at all. So what happens if I let the scheduled recording occur? I have never tried that, but it might record with a title of "Manual", or it might record with the title of whatever programme was actually broadcast at that time (which might be the preceding programme if the EPG was changed to broadcast the preceding programme slightly later). The duration of pre-padding should not affect which programme title TV Server uses for the recording, so use whatever pre-padding and post-padding you prefer. This should not be necessary (although it may depend on what is causing your problem). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
