Series Recording

Hi - I can record individual episodes of programmes, but if I enable a series it doesn’t record. The series is shown in recording schedule but with “no upcoming recordings” yet this programme is on every day.

Any ideas?.

Since you did not provide any details of the show I am going to assume that it is an older show that is airing repeats and you have your series recording set to only record “New Airings”.

Sorry - should have given more info.

Having just done some more testing - it would seem that the majority of shows will record series ok. However the one I actually want to record does now work!! The show is Emmerdale (it’s not for me it’s for my wife!) and it’s on ITV in the UK.

It is not an older show - it is a continuing soap opera broadcast daily.

Further update - it would appear by selecting “New and Older Recordings” that it does at least schedule it - so time will tell. My worry now is I will end up with duplicates! As they repeat the episode during the day I think sometimes!

Thanks for the pointer though - never changed the airings option as really didn’t think I would need to - they should all be new episodes!

As long as the show has proper season and episode information you should be fine. I know another show Coronation Street airs a couple of new episodes every day but it does not have proper season/episode information. So when the first episode airs it seems to use the month and day as the season/episode because that is all that is available. Once the first episode is recorded Plex cancels the recording of the second episode because it then has a recording with the same season/episode as the second airing even though they are different episodes. I know that Plex is looking into this issue.
