[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1282874, member: 141969"] I recollect this being a problem years ago, when I first started using MP (2014). But I have not noticed it as a problem in recent years (with MP1). However... Tonight I scheduled to record a weekly programme that showed precisely this problem. Look at the screen shot below. It is the "Upcoming Episodes" panel in MP1, and if you look closely you will see that lines 1 and 2 in the list spell the title differently from lines 3 and 4 -- the spelling of "the" differs: [ATTACH alt="upcoming_episodes.jpg"]208126[/ATTACH] However, when TV Server searched the EPG in order to generate the list of upcoming episodes, it clearly did so using a case-insensitive comparison (so it found both spellings of the title). But now look at the red dot at the end of line 1. I scheduled this recording as "weekly on this day of the week", so line 3 should also have a red dot, but it does not. So does this mean that TV Server has failed to schedule the episode with the different spelling? No. :eek: Look at the following two screen shots. The one on the left shows the EPG for today, and the screen shot on the right shows the EPG for 7 days from now. Notice that the programme that I scheduled is displayed in red in both screen shots. This indicates that both episodes are scheduled to record: [ATTACH alt="epg_today.jpg"]208127[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="epg_7_days_ahead.jpg"]208128[/ATTACH] So, my conclusion is that [B]in MP1[/B] the only error is that on the "Upcoming Episodes" panel TV Server does not flag correctly the episodes that are scheduled to record -- line 3 is missing the red dot. But the episodes will nevertheless record correctly. If MP2 does not record these differently spelled episodes, possibly the MP2 version of TV Server is missing a fix that is present in the MP1 version of TV Server? -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
