This should all be fixed for everyone now btw.

I have had our system go through and check all series recordings.

I twill take a couple of hours at least to run and I will post back here once it's complete, and if you are still missing anything at that point we can investigate further.

Hi Gary,

We had a look into this, and while some sources list the early Sunday airing as Seven News at 5, some don't.

At this point in time it would have to be a manual fix and for one airing a week and given the timing of that airing it's not something that is feasible right now.

We will see what we can do in the future though.

Should be all good now.

I am using an IceBox updated to the latest upgrade 12.2.2 and I am using a V2 remote.
Recently, some recordings have only shown a blue broken circle in the middle of the screen. You still receive audio and the commercial skip bar at the top, but there is no video, you can also use the remote to stop the playback. All the details of the recording seem okay, i.e., size, time, etc.  Other recordings work OK with no issues. There seems to be no pattern with channels that do not record etc. Previous saved recordings play as expected. This would generally rule out HDMI cable or hardware issues.  Has anyone experienced similar issues and know of a solution to the problem?  One extra thing: there are multiple recordings of the same episode, as if the system recognises an issue with the recording.  Your help would be appreciated.

Does it happen at the same point each time in the recording?

If you are getting multiple files for the one recording this is a symptom of signal quality issues.

Is it always the same channel or network that is affected?

You should definitely check all antenna connections to ensure they are secure, and if using the IceTV supplied splitter ensure that all of the adapters are securely screwed in.

Reflecting the inclusion of Series (Season) and episode number

I suspect that this 'feature' was always there, it's just that the series and episode numbers weren't being fed into TVH correctly.  From the update email I received:

Episode numbering is now correctly visible in the programme guide

Correct, we didn't change the file naming, but the season and episode numbering is now correct. We also cut down the file output from comskip to just edl files.

Hi Nick,

First question I have is how much free space is there on the IceBox, you can check this by going into Settings and then into System Information and onto the Storage tab on the left hand side. You need to look at the line that ends with '/storage'.

If the setup wizard is not completing though the only option is to perform a soft reset, by going into Settings, then LibreELEC and on the System tab go down to "Reset System Settings to defaults" (it will say "SOFT RESET" at the bottom in green if you are on the right one) and select it, then confirm the window that comes up. After the soft reset the IceTV wizard will come up again, but this time it will complete.

Just as a heads up, this has been taken care of and all guides are correct.

I'm finding that my series recording for "10 News" is also triggering recordings for "10 News Plus" which I truly don't want.

If we can somehow separate these into two distinct entities that would be super handy.

Hi Andrew,

It is listed as a separate show, and I can't see any more airings set to record on your account this week.

This does not affect the XMLTV/Plex only feed, that will stay at $3.99. It looks like your account was not converted across correctly so you received this notice in error.

I have only just seen this one now and have to apologise that the error was not corrected in time, looking back now and it was not all of Australia and just a couple of regions so it was not found in our extra checks today.

This could be interesting and the changes for comskip are quick to make as we are working on a new firmware now they will be included in that.

But, I am also wondering on how useful this might be (especially the end time of the show) if it's just using the EPG data. If you could make it use the now and next data to key off that would be much better, as it would allow skipping through any unnecessary pre-padding. Right now a 3 minute jump forward will do that anyway (if using the defaults).

Yes, they are not available as yet, and we are working on a fix.

Hi G,

For this one we would defer to the LibreELEC wiki at https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/dual-boot

Basically it says while it's technically possible, it's not something that is supported. The same would be said here, while it's technically possible it's not something we can put time into supporting.

Hi G,

These should be handled with extra episodes created, if one does get missed then please let us know via the EPG issues board.
