Plex DVR can't find sports team's names

Live TV & DVR

I just changed my XLMTV provider and I had to reset up my DVR. To be honest I do not remember if this was working prior. The issue is if I choose a team to record, lets say the “Seattle Seahawks” and they have a game on Sunday night on NBC. I go and click to DVR it I at some point was able to select “All Seattle Seahawks games”, now I just get “All NFL Games”. I know in the past this was a general issue for everyone and Plex fixed it.

I am not sure if it is because of my XLMTV, or it is like this for others. Attaching what the EPG looks like. The main header is NFL Football, but it does have the two teams play and I always remember that it looking that way no matter what EPG data I used.

I just have the regular Plex EPG. I don’t recall it ever working like you do, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t so. On my setup, I can only select “All NFL Games”, so I am not sure it would be EPG specific.

Interesting. There are definitely circumstances under which the Plex-provided EPG allows you to specify specific teams for which to record all games:

This from an OTA EPG, provided by Plex.

@knoll Are you in an area for which Plex doesn’t provide EPG data?

In general though, XMLTV can be a bit like the Wild West. The “official” XMLTV Project DTD only specifies certain pieces of information. Anything else is an extension which others would have to agree to adopt.
