Repeats and double ups

[GaiO IceTV]

Thanks Trial_Master,
Repeat flag added to Landline for tonight.
One of our team members will look at the 10HD issue shortly.
Regards Gai

Hi Trial Master,

yes we are having a few problems on some shows with the R flagging.....putting episodes on all shows is helping but in some regions it is not "grabbing' the episode in the first instance..hence some regions will show the R flag where applicable and others won't.
When you mentioned the other night about Bold & Beautiful, I looked the next day and it was there....looking today it disappeared again.
Dan is working tirelessly on fixing the bug, so hopefully this problem will be rectified as soon as possible.

cheers,  Lisa

Hmmm, but despite it disappearing from my My Week, it still recorded. But I think that's a problem that's already been raised here - programs get marked as a repeat, and they are removed from My Week, but not from the PVR (might be a Beyonwiz-specific problem).

Yeah, that is an ongoing problem. ATM, I am in hospital, be here a while, so don't want things to record that shouldn't, lest I run out of room. I looked at My Week last night and found lots of double ups, which I deleted, but I am nearly sure it will still record
Then there are shows that used to show the guests (so you could tell if it was a repeat or not) but now only have a generic description

[csutak40]

I will give one last try listing these.
I have listed most if not all of them several times and never seem to get an acknowledgement.
I know that we are told that there is no time to acknowledge all posts, but when the problem never seems to get resolved then you can't help but wonder if your posts were read at all.
So, here are the repeats that are/were (as I have now deleted them) found tonight.  Although I swear I deleted some of them last night, and they re-appeared

The Living Room... I thought this was just the daytime editions, but last Friday's show was a repeat as well
The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Gem
Everyday Gourmet with Justine Schofield
The Project (10.30 pm -11.30pm edition)
A Current Affair 1.30am
The Late Late Show With James Corden often has repeats (on the same night):
'Guests: 2021 - Tracey Morgan, Kings Of Leon' 10 Shake, 11:05pm, Wed, 10 Mar 2021, 55 minutes
'Guests: 2021 - Tracey Morgan, Kings Of Leon' 10 Shake, 4:00am, Thu, 11 Mar 2021, 60 minutes

Melbourne...

Australia in Colour
'Series 2 - Family'
SBS VICELAND HD, 7:30pm, Sat, 13 Mar 2021, 60 minutes

This is a REPEAT of the Wednesday night premier broadcast on SBS HD and marked as a REPEAT in the online SBS EPG.

Thanks Bazza,
Yes definitely a repeat and corrected now.
Cheers Gai

The Project (10.30 pm -11.30pm edition) is always a repeat.  I have been mentioning it in this thread several times, it still hasn't been fixed

[Lisa]

Hi csutak40,
Thankyou for your note.
We are having a little trouble with a couple of shows and the repeat flag "sticking" in some regions....and unfortunately the 2nd airing of The Project is one of them.
We endeavour to catch all them but on some occasions they will slip through.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

Cheers, Lisa

@lisa as sunday is now on the device the following repeats are still in the guide

Fishing Australia - 10 Bold, 4:00pm, Sun, 14 Mar 2021, 30 minutes
Fishing Australia - 10 Bold, 4:30pm, Sun, 14 Mar 2021, 30 minutes - 'Florida And Tassie - Giant Tarpon And Trout'

I'm pretty sure that season 2 of Das Boot is a repeat, even if SBS isn't flagging it as a repeat. (Viceland HD Sun 14 Mar 23:55 & 15 Mar 01:00)

Even the broadcast times are suggestive that it's repeat.

[GaiO IceTV]

Hi PRL,
I agree the timing would suggest this but it is marked as a New Series Premiere by SBS and we only have series 1 in our database , so have marked as new.
Cheers Gai

I distinctly remember some of the events in season 2, especially the attempt to release the families in the concentration camp transport (episode Letzte Entschidungen/Final Decisions). Perhaps we watched it on onDemand.

Bodyguard was originally scheduled for Sun 14-Mar 21:30 and 22:40.  My T4 had 2 timers set for those times, sent by IceTV because the episodes were incorrectly left as premieres, whereas they're repeats.
The programs were then shifted to 22:30 and 23:40 as per IceTV online guide.
Now I have 1 timer set from 21:30 for (an unpadded) 2h:10m for now Flesh And Blood, and Bodyguard S01E05 (ice_timer_id="16686963641106577886" if Daniel Hall wants to investigate).
That combined timer shouldn't exist, as Bodyguard episodes are (now finally) marked as a repeat.

Hi grumpy_geoff,

I have had a look at this one and this timer was marked as being 'manually recorded by user', we have seen this a couple of times now where the Beyonwiz incorrectly marks a show as 'manually recorded' and it then doesn't get removed if the underlying show is removed, which is what happened in this instance. For now you should just cancel the timer and it won't come back.

Hi Daniel,

The log entries show 3 timers being deleted (likely the 2 Bodyguard timers plus an erroneously sent Romulus "Imperio" that wasn't marked as a repeat), but then a new Bodyguard timer created (this has a different ice_timer_id value than the 2 that were removed [they were ice_timer_id=16685836933074829689, ice_timer_id=16685836933074829690])

I find it strange that the "new" Bodyguard timer is of the same duration as the combined now Flesh And Blood (60m) in the original Bodyguard S01E05 spot, plus Bodyguard S01E05 (70m) in its new spot.
Even stranger, that the Wiz decided to do that event merge and create a timer from the outcome.
Yes, call me cynical.
