False "This program will not be recorded"

[hersch@…]

In mythfrontend: Manage recordings --> recording rules --> {programs} --> schedule info --> upcoming recordings = all episodes are greyed out and entering any one of them, it says "This program is not scheduled to record"

However, in manage recordings --> upcoming recordings = the show IS LISTED to record. Also mythweb reports that it will record.

re: {programs} - this doesnt happen with all programs. it seems to happen on programs that are news-related e.g. 20/20, 60 minutes, BBC World News America. but not all. e.g. NBC Nightly news does not have this problem.

additional note: The recording rules are shown in light blue text in the recording rule text - not yellow - which indicates that it has scheduled programs to record

Please let me know what else i can provide.

This works as expected for me. Please provide more details about the recording rule and screen shots to show what you are seeing and why you think it is wrong.

[greg hersch <hersch@…>]

Sure. here are screenshots

1. here is the 60min recording rule.

2 and 3. here are the filters - nothing notable. everything appears as if this program should be being recorded, unless there is some duplicate (if i turn off matching, this behavior i will describe isn't altered)

4. here are the upcoming episodes - note that the 2/14 60 minutes is in grey text like it wont be recorded. why?

5. indeed, hitting enter on it shows it 'will not be recorded' again, why?

6. the program details (hitting 'i') confirm this

7. but now i go into scheduled recordings. beyond - the episode on 2/14 at 7pm is in fact in the recording schedule (like it should be!)

8. now hitting 'i' for more info shows a nice screen to compare against screenshot 6 - all of the same information, but this time is says it will be recorded. what is going on here? (note that mythweb also says this show will be recorded - so my guess is that it is actually going to be recorded)

I dont know how to embed pictures - so here is a link to the screenshots in dropbox

And one other note - for 8 of 10 programs, this doesn't happen. everything works fine. i tried to repair my DB to see if that was the problem, but not change.

[greg hersch <hersch@…>]

Can we please modify the status of this ticket away from infoneeded? Unless you really are looking for more information still?

In 82c1b9d9075d5d22dabd398f87efb626c770f64b/mythtv:

Fix PI::IsSameProgramAndStartTime?().

It erroneoulsy returned false for the same time/channel case when the
episode was generic.

Fixes #12647

For future reference, you should choose the "provide info" option when you provide the info.
