    AW: record new episodes only

    One big problem - what is about deleted recordings? ;-) It doesn't work then. I think it should store the episode and season data in the recording section / database of the schedule itself and then only record shows which have higher numbers. Problem what is if you want to schedule also old ones?

    I'm working on that. The new recording option is nearly ready. I'll provide a patch for MP 1.2 beta very soon.

    Another issue I see is this is a universal setting. It may be with some shows or some channels the episode info isn't reliable and/or there are no repeats, so you prefer just to record everything. With other channels or shows there could be, as others say, 3 repeats a day and the episode info is reliable so you really want to use the episode info. Currently if I'm correct, there is no way you can do this with MP alone (a plugin probably can)

    Ah yes EPG Data, I am so hosed on this since I live in the US. I get free EPG in Media Center but does no good in MP... sigh seems like there would be a way to use that or use that process to get EPG into MP...

    Um ap90033, unless I am greatly mistaken, that is the sole reason for the existence of mc2xml. ;)

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph

    Ok, thanks much. I will look into the instructions above. For the moment, I turned off the "Automatic channel logo update" in Settings (which somehow I had missed, I think because it wasn't an option previously), and the deleted everything in the Flat-default folder and populated it with my own logos. Works, so far.

    fixed the episode naming above ^. There was no error in the naming of the file itself. Every time I enter TV Series, it tries to re-scan the episodes. The series appears for just a few seconds and disappears again.

    Thanks very much, Jasmeet. Worked. But note that this setting has moved, apparently, to: Settings > TV (not Plugins)

    Can anyone tell me the step-by-step procedure for bringing up a second channel in pip mode? I can only do it sometimes, after many tries, and it’s not clear what I am doing that makes it work on those occasions when it does. Cannot find guidance on the site. Thanks, N. Again, if anyone knows how to do this, would be much...
