Some DVR copies are un-watchable, and some are close to great but have little blips. There should be a way to mark a movie or TV episode for re-recording. Another thought on this is to delete the bad copy and hope the episode will air soon. Admin users can this, but a managed user cannot. Also, you don’t necessarily want to delete an episode that is close to a good copy. An option to mark the episode for Re-recording in the player (roku, Android TV, etc) would fix this. ---

In cases where there’s conflicting information from the EPG and TheTVDB, or when the EPG is wrong about the episode numbering, this leads to episodes not being recorded because Plex thinks it’s already in the library. They won’t even show in the schedule. Recordings are being skipped and lost due to this. In addition, episodes that are already recorded will in some circumstances … Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).
