[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1268203, member: 141969"] How this originated is a puzzle, but I would suggest deleting it and seeing if it returns. I don't [i]think[/i] that "TV Server" behaves that way, although I cannot be sure. That I cannot explain. It may be a bug in the MP2 client code. It will need one the MP2 developers to explain this. (I use MP1; MP1 and MP2 use the same "TV Server" code, but different client code.) There may be a confusion of terms here. Do you really mean a recording where you specified manually the start and end times? Why not schedule the recording from the EPG? A manual recording can cover any number of programmes, so I think that "TV Server" names the recording according to the programme being broadcast when the recording starts (hence the name "News at Six" in your example). If you want to use pre-padding and post-padding (I certainly do), you can still schedule the recording from the EPG. If you do that, the recording will have the correct title ("Spotlight"), with pre-padding and post-padding added. You define the amounts of pre-padding and post-padding in "TV Server Config". Also, if you want a repeated recording, (e.g. Monday to Friday at 18:30 to 19:00), you don't need to use manual recordings. You can use the "Advanced" scheduling feature with the "Weekdays at this time" setting (the exact words for this setting in MP2 might be a bit different from the ones that I have quoted). Basically because not enough people volunteer to work on the MediaPortal project. This is disappointing, but as Walter Cronkite used to say: "That's the way it is". If you have relevant programming skills, you might like to consider volunteering. (y) Actually, this is possible now, but fiddly. Schedule a recording with the setting "Every time on this channel" (if you know on what channel the programme will be broadcast) or "Every time on every channel" (if you don't know the channel), and then in "TV Server Config" export the recording schedule. Next, edit the xml file containing the recording schedule, and modify the entry that you just created to specify the name of the programme that you want. Save the changes and import the recording schedule in "TV Server Config". -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
