Smart Recording on Android / Re: Queries re app after last update V2.26

We had a few crashes specifically in landscape mode, this should hopefully be a temporary situation and we can then re-enable landscape in a future update.

IceTV EPG Content / Re: "simulcast" data for 7mate-HD Adelaide (starts tomorrow 16/1/2020) ?

Ahh, I think I see now, that's the number of shows listed in the channel, however the simulcast doesn't start until midday tomorrow so there are some placeholders in place on 7mate HD until the so for now there will be a different show count to 7mate.

Well, a simulcast doesn’t mean it’s the same channel, just that it shows the same content.

I am also not sure what id’s those are as they don’t correspond to any of the IceTV channel id’s

There are two ways that SD can still be specified, one is by using the option to restrict the recording to a channel. If however you only ever want to record on SD channels (as it looks like you do) then you can also disable all of the HD channels in your account and then all series recordings will only ever record on SD channels, this wasn't as much of an option before it was a true simulcast, but it is now.

The filesize can be comparable between both SD and HD, it really depends on the bitrate of the broadcast.

IceTV EPG Content / Re: Movie: Get On Up (2014)

« on: December 23, 2019, 04:21:01 PM »

Hi aeb001,

That's because you are not actually looking at an airing of the Movie itself, you can see this because of the writing in red saying "There are no matching shows currently scheduled.". You can only set a single recording on an actual airing of a show (otherwise you are given the option to set a series recording for the next time its on).

This would be because either that movie is currently not on in your region, or in this case more likely that you have disabled NITV on which the movie is airing.

Hi DeFenn,

Just a quick update, someone from Plex is going to have a dig into this one tomorrow, so hopefully we will know some more after that.

Hi Daniel

Any updates?

Hi Defenn,

Not as yet sadly, they are still looking into it but have no updates as yet.

Hi DeFenn,

Are you on the latest version of the Plex Media Server?

Looking at the feed we don't have unique episode names for 'Hamish & Andy's Perfect Holiday', but they should be showing up as separate airings within Plex, in the same way that news broadcasts are, so it looks like something definitely a bit weird is happening here.

We have reached out to Plex to find out.

Smart Recording website and General questions / Re: Prefer standard definition

So to try and clear up any confusion, we have removed some of the options on the website and iOS apps (the android app update is being worked on now) for series and keyword recordings. Namely these are the "limit per day", "network selection", "prefer HD/HD Only/prefer SD/SD Only" option, and the "Time" option. As going through all the scenarios available (and looking at how often these options were used) you could get the same effects by either disabling the channels you don't want to record on, but also using the "Channel" option and whether you wanted "repeats" or not, and this would simplify things tremendously.

It does raise a question in my mind as to what happens with timers created on the PVR in the BW T/U/V series that employ IceTV. Would a timer created for an SD channel be registered as an SD timer on the IceTV servers, and, if and when the scheduled time for the broadcast changes, would the servers change that timer to an HD channel timer?

Single timers created on either the PVR or on the IceTV website are linked to a specific airing of a show, if it moves times it will stay with that particular showing which will always stay on that channel, the HD airing has a different airing ID and it will not swap over to it.

If there are any questions just let us know and we can clear up any confusion there might be.

Thanks Daniel

PS - I’ve deleted my reply to the original reply from MD (that itself appears to have been deleted).

No worries, and a fixed version of the app has been released and is available for download from the App store.

We did a few updates today, but nothing drastic on the menu, but it does look like the hamburger menu icon is missing, checking now.

Thanks Daniel. Good to know I wasn’t going mad 😀

Nope, just me at the moment it seems, but for now the hamburger menu icon is back. The close 'X' is currently missing, but at least the menu on phones and tablets (and smaller screens) is usable. Will work on it more in the morning.
