Articia:
The issue I see is the format in which the Plex DVR writes the file name. Currently when Plex DVR records a sporting event it uses this type of format for the file name:
Copy to clipboard
NFL Football - 2019-09-15 05 00 00 - Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland Raiders.ts
College Football (2019) - 2019-09-14 05 00 00 - Pittsburgh at Penn State.ts
When Plex reads the file name to add it to the library it cant get past the Time Stamp in the name. With the above example it only reads NFL Football - 2019-09-15 05 00 00 then stops. This causes Plex to use for the title and sort title just the date (2019-09-15) If you record two games that are at the same time it really confuses the software causing it to treat each file as a version of a single episode.
What needs to happen is Plex needs to use a file name in the same format that it uses for regular television shows.
Copy to clipboard
NFL Football - S2019E02 - Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland Raiders.ts
In using this format Plex can obtain the Season from the Year and the episode from the agenda view information in Recordings.
Whilst the issue relating to mismatches on recorded sport events is still with the development team, I would like to suggest a different setup for recording sports events
Create a separate library for recording sport games.“theTVDB” to “Personal Media Shows”
Let me know if it helps
