Hi, Team Mediaportal.

I have a question about series recording.
I set several series recordings in schedules as "Record everytime on this channel" option.
It's working well except that during or after the series recording done and when the EPG is updated, Media Portal record this same program again.
Even the active record doing and EPG updated during this active recording, the same episode recording start at same time via another tuner. So MediaPortal recording duplicated same program as active recording.
Also when I cancel one of scheduled program of series in TV guide as it's rebroadcasting then EPG updated and this canceled program reappearing as scheduled again because it's one of series record scheduled so I need to cancel it again & again whenever EPG updated.
FYI, My brief system specifiaction is as below,

- Media Portal v1.5.0
- OS: Windows8 Pro x64 K
- DB: MS SQL Server Express 2012 SP1
- TV tuner: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 (Dual analog & ATSC tuner)
- EPG update: xmltv file update by EPG collector utility running at every 2 hours
- Media Portal log files: I attached some log files created today

Please let me know how I can solve this problem.

One update..
It looks like Media Portal can distinguish 8 bytes long EPG Korean progarm title.
But over 8 bytes(it's 4 Korean characters as double byte code) then Media Portal looks like think the same Korean EPG program titles as different each other.
So I assume that Media Portal can't properly handle double byte EPG program titles over 8 bytes.
If it is true then there is need a patch for this and please let me know if you need my help with the Korean character related testing.
