Two recordings same channel, EPG

Hi All,

Even since using the "On Air Guide"/EPG I sometimes get two recordings for the same show - log:

Obvisouly the EPG is picking up the title change and recording the same chanid.

I am not sure if mythtv should be detecting the same chanid and ignoring the second record request?? Or maybe it assumes a different end time - so to maintain consistancy it records both?

SVN version: 21145

log attached since the copy/paste didn't work too well

Hmm, I'm guessing that this may not actually be a bug.

From the scheduler's point of view those two recordings are different because the subtitles and/or descriptions are not identical. This depends on the duplicate checking policy for that recording rule. Also, the scheduler is intentionally cautious and tends to record a program when in doubt.

But, I may be wrong or misunderstanding, so if you can still reproduce this problem with a recent version please open a ticket and provide details on how the recording is being scheduled, including duplicate checking policy etc.
