New Plex Guide Very Poor in UK

You might be right

To me it just makes inconsistencies

For episodes with a S/E, this relates back to the original airing, so if we are using dates instead of this, the date should refer to originally aired also

Well, decided to give it ONE LAST CHANCE.

And, oh, Andrew Marr, tomorrow, scheduled for 9:00 to 10:10 - not on Plex guide it’s not - 09:00-10:00 - so recording that will miss the last 10 minutes.

UTTER RUBBISH.

“The Truth About Amazon” on Ch4 tonight at 21:00
 going to be an interesting ‘FILM’!!!

Don’t know how that could have got categorised incorrectly
 Going to have to remember to go into my Films to watch it :rage::rage::rage:

This may be a bit too late for tomorrow’s showing but the last couple of showings over the last few weeks have also been wrong as well, as I recorded it
 Fortunately I hadn’t seen the sequel so the recording wasn’t wasted :wink:

032: Sony Movies Channel: 22nd April: 16:55 - Charlie’s Angels

This should be Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.

The Freeview guide is advertising it correctly:

Yep. I noticed that. :man_facepalming::roll_eyes::scream:

I think it’s deliberate, as I’ve recorded a lot of documentaries and they will only save to my “Movies” library.

If they are not repeatedly aired with multiple episodes (=a tv show) then they are considered a movie.

That would be fine, but you should be allowed to override the default and pick any library when setting it to record, so you can at least change it so it’s not your movie collection.

You can: copy/move the files to your tv show folder. Problem is you won’t get it matched anywhere.

Apologies if this has been reported already - Killing Eve (BBC Scotland HD) on Sunday 26th April is showing as S03E03 - its actually S03E02


Screenshots of the BBC schedule attached.

The big night in on the bbc has no description in Plex. Channels app does though.

It’s also not labelled as “New”.

I’m showing it with the correct episode number now S3 E2 (but still not marked as new).

Some more issues the upcoming airings of Danger Mouse (2015). The Plex Guide shows:

Danger Mouse

According to the BBC’s Guide the showings tomorrow and on Saturday should be:

S1 : E19
S2 : E8

Danger Mouse - BBC

Edit:

I’ve just noticed that all showings from Sunday (and all of next week) are listed as “4/6/19 - Sinister Mouse” and as such don’t show up in the above “upcoming shows” screenshot. For example: Next Thursday:

Danger Mouse - Next Week

We finally got to a point where sequencing and new indicator is correct for Midsomer Murders on ITV and ITV3. I had been referring it back to our provider whilst seeing discrepancies but looks ok now and agrees with what is in Radio Times TV Listings

5 USA, Freeview 21, Monday 27th April, 21:00 - this is showing a repeat episode of NCIS instead of the one reported in other guides, S15E01.

Further to this, another missing airing from Wed @sa2000 - only realised when I started watching today’s recording an realised something had been skipped. Looked on My 5 and it was Mon/Wed/Fri episodes this week (probably as they’ve restarted filming in Oz). Why didn’t the provider pick this up?

Resurrecting an old comment here if I may - why is the epg still so poor? I am still seeing ‘radio programming’ against Kiss this evening and the Dinotrux listings on Tiny Pop are not correct overnight. Is there actually a game plan here because it appears to me that Plex has not desire to actually provide a decent DVR service themselves? Also I think someone has pointed this out, why on earth is Plex sending out mails shots broadcasting how good the service is when quite clearly it is not.

I have already flagged to our provider that channel 5 group of channels were showing previous week guide data rolled forward.

Apparently they did not receive any data and the process rolled forward previous week

It is debatable as to what would be better

  • to have empty guide showing no data
  • a guide from the previous week rolled forward

and I am sure we can argue this both ways

This may be the issue I mentioned of previous week’s data rolled forward
