Plex shows every program as 'NEW' in the EPG

Plex shows every program as ‘NEW’ and the problem with this is when i set a program to record and tell it only to record newly aired episodes it obviously records every aired episode as it thinks they are all ‘NEW’ so i end up with loads of recordings of the same thing taking up loads of space on the server due to it not knowing what is new or not.

I have tried different EPG providers like XMLTVUK but i get the same issue where all programs show as ‘NEW’

Any ideas?

I have this same problem in the US Denver market. Deleted and re-added DVR after update, and now every show is NEW no matter whether I have it or not.
It seems to correspond to the lack of episode data on each show. The episodes are just marked with the date as the title and nothing else.


If I go to the episode that it wants to record tomorrow, I see the episode title in guide is not a SXXEXX format or episode name but just an air date.

So I assume Plex has no way of checking this against what I already have and thinks everything is new.
