Description Maurice van der Pot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-12 14:24:29 UTC
If the database has one show that runs on a certain channel from say 8:00 to 16:00 and there are several other shows in the database on that same channel and within 8:00 and 16:00, then recording of these shows is not possible.

Of course this is really a problem with the content of the database caused by a change/error in the webpage used by xmltv, but it is causing some very undesirable behaviour in MythTV that can probably be avoided relatively easily. (web TV guides change, there's nothing we can do about that, but we can at least have some graceful degradation in MythTV)

Ok, back to the problem:
In the Program Guide you can see only the large overlapping show, so you cannot select the smaller shows for recording. Nothing can be done about this.
However, selecting the show in the Program Finder should still be possible. It _is_ possible to _find_ the show there and it does show the correct time for recording, but pressing ENTER on the episode to select a type of recording (once, weekly, always, etc) moves you to another screen that shows the time of the large overlapping show.

Because the Program Finder is able to show the right time before selecting to record, it should also be able to program the recording correctly. I think it's just a conversion like (program,time)---query-->(channel,time)--query-->(program,time) that causes the problem.

MythTV version: 0.14-r1

Should be reported UPSTREAM

If this isn't resolved in 0.15.1 please report to upstream.
