[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1263261, member: 109222"] This only happens, when you do a one time only recording. If this happens also you are using recurring recordings then you probably are using TVWishlist for scheduling. TVWishlist always does a "one time only" recording, even for series... Personally I don't use this feature at all. I don't like unfinished TV recordings with pre and post recording time and lots of commercials added to my well shaped media library. The only thing that is important to me are the season and episodes numbers. If I want to keep a recording then I trim and cut it first, remove all commercials and pre- post recordings. Then I use Media-Buddy to transcode the videos to HEVC in MKV container. TV recordings are way too big (at least 4 times as big as necessary) for the quality they have. Then Media-Buddy renames the video to my naming scheme and add .nfo files and local fanart to them. Once done I move the prepared videos into my library folder and scrap them in Kodi. This way I only have clean and lean videos inside my library and I always have a 100% match (due to the .nfo files), even if very new episodes are not (yet) added to TVDB. Also I don't use it for real I've tested this feature as it was added some time ago. That's why I know it is working. When you schedule a series recording you always need to use "Add Timer" with type "always record on..." or "daily, weekly,..." but not "one time..." and you never should use "Record" instead of "Add Timer", if you want to get your series recordings into the "series" subfolder... The rest is simply adding video sources to Kodi Most often the ugly EPG data is the reason for this... On the air EPG normally don't have season and episodes numbers included, often even the series and or episodes title is wrong. Web- based EPG data generally are better but most often lacking the numbers too... Those recordings never can be scrapped properly without further manual actions from the user.. This is the main reason why I have written EPG-Buddy as it adds proper season and episodes numbers to as much episodes as possible. The remaining 20 to 30% without numbers I need to match manually while cutting or editing them... If you want a good result you need to do a good preparation.
