Plex DVR (I have a Roku Ultra/Synology NAS.
Today I was setting it to record modern family at 9pm. At first I only wanted to record new airing only, but I noticed that it was also setting itself to record a modern family “repeat” played at the exact same time (9pm) buton on TBS. While this was an error, I figured a workaround would just be to limit it to channel 707 only, well guess what it still set itself up to record modern family on both channels.
This of course is a fundamental problem to have it record both new airings and repeats, and btw, the 707 had a “New” label next to it, and the TVs airing did not, so at least the guide had it right.
Anyway, figured you’d want to know this.
Thanks for all the hard work.

There is a difference between the 3 red dots that show up on the guide and the program being scheduled for recording which show up on the recording calendar.

Those red dots on non-recordings in the guide sure do seem like a bug. I had a conversation with a Plex ninja several months ago. He was adamant that they are not a bug, but are somehow a part of the design. So, he suggested I make a feature request to “fix” this incredibly misleading behavior.

> First, the grid guide is terrific. Thanks for adding it to Plex. I use it all the time now. I have one issue however, that seems like a bug to me but I have been told it is a feature. So, I’m supposed to use this Feature Suggestions area to request the bug fix. I record lots of TV series. I have set most of them to “New Airings Only”. However, when I peruse the grid guide all of these series’ repeats are marked with (erroneous) recording icons. So the new feature request is to stop marki…
