    I am slightly confused as to how MP is scheduling recordings. Using the latest SVN but I don't think this has changed since 1.0.2

    I have been recording FlashForward each week 21:00 - 22:00 on channel five. This has all been fine but it is taking a break after next Monday. When I setup the schedule I chose record each week at this time as it gets repeated a few times during the week (and I did not have reliable series/episode data to stop duplicate recordings)

    When I go into the list of scheduled recordings I see an entry for Flashforward on 7th December but there is no episode on that day. When I look at the EPG data I can see that it is actually for a film that happends to be on at the same time as Flashforward would have been.

    Is this working as it should? If you setup a weekly recording schedule then surely it should only create a recording entry if the program name matches the one of the schedule??

    I believe it is working as designed. Not necessarily as desired.

    If you set a recording at the same time every week it will record this time slot and give it the name you have defined "FlashForward". The standard TV Server I don't believe looks at the epg info once this type of recording is set. If you are wanting a more flexible scheduling engine have a look at 4tr (ForTheRecord).
