Daily recordings not working.

[prl]

I've posted a question about how PVR-set repeating timers are supposed to interact with IceTV, and why IceTV sometimes decides to delete them on the IceTV forum in IceTV API documentation.

Good-o for dogs, thanks.
Daniel's answer may well apply to the usurping (single) timer situation too.

... Daniel's answer may well apply to the usurping (single) timer situation too.

Yes, I hope so.

Is this issue (repeat timers being deleted from the box by IceTV, not the issue of repeat timers staying on the box, but disappearing from the IceTV Web site) still active?

I haven't had a response to my post about it on the IceTV forum. I gave the topic a bump on Saturday, but perhaps it's too much to expect that anyone would look at it over the long weekend.

I diaabled my test repeat timers a while ago - those listed continued to remain unmolested by IceTV.
I've only one active repeat now - I set it up on 1-Jun as a daily repeat of Seven evening news and didn't phaff around with the times; so Ice got a matching start/duration. It continues to chug away.
Of course, Ice doesn't know about it now.

Thanks.

That Seven evening news timer continues to truck along. Just for grins, about 10 days ago I setup 3 more daily repeats; Like the 7news timer above, I again didn't phaff around with the times; so Ice would've been as happy as a pig in mud with the times it received. They continue to repeat fine.

I've seen Ice nuke timers when it wanted to alter the duration (e.g. 55 mins -> 50 mins), keeping the same start time. Perhaps this was happening when it saw the (repeat) timers with dodgy durations.


Cheers

This morning, Ice decided to nuke my new (created yesterday) daily repeat of "National Nine News" -

I find it interesting that Ice also tried to nuke completed timers for series recordings for episodes from the previous evening

I suggest posting a followup to my post about it on the IceTV forum.
