Lucky you are! I’ve set up the same configuration on the famous Plex Opensource competitor, with absolutely the same XMLTV source for EPG, same show series scheduled for recording. And what did I see in the DVR folder? \Show Name\Show Name 2021_01_29 - Brief description.ts So, the series recordin…

I am not sure how this is a problem with Plex. If you haven’t made the show unique in your xml, Plex will naturally assume it is a repeat of a preiously recorded show. Can you please share your xml for one of the shows?

[image] BPRD: Lucky you are! I guess so, but I wasn’t trying to rub it in :slightly_smiling_face: . I agree with @JCHH , it may be helpful to have a look at the actual XML for one of the problematic shows. Understanding that it works as-is with the competitor, it may only require a small mod…

Here it is, BBC news have a lot of such shows, as an example epg.zip (493.1 KB)

(Please excuse the username, I am not a PLEX administrator in any way.) I created a simple program with python to fix this exact issue. It takes an xml guide input file (-i), an xml guide output file (-o), and anything you want to exclude (-x) but will default to excluding ‘paid programming’, ‘pay…

Sounds promising, is it possible to compile it for linux or share at github? I run plex on a linux machine.
