Is there a way to cancel the recording of a single episode rather than the entire series?

But I never use the Web App. I use the grid in Plex For Windows or the local http server

This change was made 3 days ago. The Plex for Windows/Mac desktop apps have their web clients updated every 2-3 weeks or so, so this should show up there soon. As for the server’s local web client, that is updated less frequently, and not always to the latest version. I wouldn’t expect to see this change there for a while. At any rate, I wasn’t attempting to sway you back into the Plex Live TV & DVR fold; mostly I wanted to ensure that you and anyone reading that particular point knew that it was something which has been acknowledged and is being addressed.

Back to the original topic… @mbarylski - There’s a request over in the feature suggestions forum requesting this feature (actually, there are more than one). Here’s the oldest one I found:

[Plex DVR] Add option to cancel recording a single program/episode within a series

With the Plex DVR, it appears that there are currently two options when recording: 1. Manually record each episode that you want one by one, or 2. Configure the DVR to record all episodes for a series/title When using the second option, I’d like to request that there be an option to cancel the recording in advance or in progress for a single episode within that series. Currently, it appears that the only option is to cancel the recording for the entire series only. Use case #1: Configure se…

But here’s a newer one with more votes:

Opt-out of single recording

I currently have a “New” Episode of “Better call Saul” scheduled to be recorded this upcomming saturday at 5am, while its great plex is picking this up, and trying to record, I personally have no interest in the 5 minute comic-con trailer. I’d like to opt-out of recording this, without having to cancel my recording preferences.

Neither is particularly popular, based on the number of votes cast, at least.
