Duplication of recording icon on guide - AshG - 2016-09-21 i'm noticing on occasions (usually on re-starting kodi) that the recording timer icon is either misplaced or duplicated: see my screen shots: Below i selected the "Premier League Show" as a series recording and the icon is on the channel above - although the recording is set correctly watch gallery
This is a series record that has been set for months for "Football Focus", as you can see, it looks like i have a timer set for every channel for that time. although i can confirm i dont! watch gallery

RE: Duplication of recording icon on guide - AshG - 2016-09-21 Thanks Ksooo, ive just found this in the DVBlink sub forum, it doent look like its been merged/closed or what ever you guys do to get it in to the nightlys, although my not sure its related?: Other than that i will progress with dvblogic (2016-09-14, 13:55)dvblogic Wrote: The issue has been fixed both for Jarvis and Krypton. RE: Duplication of recording icon on guide - maxtherabbit - 2016-09-21 I have the same problem with the DVBViewer Recording Service add-on Kodi Krypton. Usually it starts to happen when Kodi has been running a day or two without a restart. I've noticed that if I have set for example one timer on one channel starting at 21.00, the timeline shows a recording/timer icon on every channel that has a program starting at 21.00. DVBViewer addon on Kodi Jarvis doesn't have this issue. Kodi after being on for a couple of days. Ghost timers on channels 10, 12, 13 and 14. Real timer on channel 17. After restarting Kodi. Real timer on channel 17 and no ghost timers. RE: Duplication of recording icon on guide - AshG - 2016-09-21 For information, i've posted the issue over at the DVBlogic forum: http://forum.dvblogic.com/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=31622 RE: Duplication of recording icon on guide - AshG - 2016-09-21 Ahhh looks like it's been merged? i think that means it will be in tomorrow's nightly, doesn't it? Duplication of recording icon on guide - ksooo - 2016-09-21 @maxtherabbit thanks for the info. If it happens with others backend it's most probably a Kodi pvr core issue. I will look into it.

Yes a restart does appear to clear the issue, although it also appears on my laptop running Kodi 18, which isn't on all the time (My HTPC is) and when i first fire up Kodi i get the issue, restarting it clears the issue..... Duplication of recording icon on guide - ksooo - 2016-09-22 Not sure you two guys are actually talking about exactly the same problem. I looked yesterday very careful through the related pvr core code and so far I was not able to find anything suspicious with regard to the problems reported here. At the moment I still think that we're facing separate pvr client add-on issues here, though I cannot be 100% sure. Duplication of recording icon on guide - ksooo - 2016-09-22 One of you guys is reporting a misplaced timer icon directly after startup, the other one reports misplaced timer icons after a while when using Kodi. Technically, this might be two completely different problems. RE: Duplication of recording icon on guide - maxtherabbit - 2016-09-22 I found a way to make those ghost timers appear. I just need to tune to a channel and when I stop playback the ghost timer has appeared the way I described in the previous post. On some channels it takes multiple tunings to happen and on some channels it happens after the first try. I don't normally do lots of channel surfing so that's why I didn't notice it before. RE: Duplication of recording icon on guide - AshG - 2016-09-22 I can run the latest nightly on my HTPC and see how long it takes for the "Ghost timers" appear (after a restart), or even try and replicate what maxtherabbit is describing above... RE: Duplication of recording icon on guide - AshG - 2016-09-22 Ok tested latest nightly on my always on HTPC, started up Kodi 17 (in portable mode) i got the timer issue as described above, restarted left Live TV running for about an hour, stopped it (as i had to go out!) and about an hour later (on my return) i now have duplicated timers icons for all my series timers for all channels where the programs start at the same time... Not sure if that proves that the 2 issues are related or not! i did try to replicate what Maxterrabbit was describing by tuning into a channel and stopping the stream but had no success. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the EPG updating? e.g i have mine set not to update while Live TV is running, So mine probably updated while i was out and hence the issue appeared? Happy to keep testing to prove whether this is a addon or Kodi core issue, just tell me what to do! cos i'm not sure anymore.... RE: Duplication of recording icon on guide - beeswax - 2016-09-29 I am having the same problem with Krypton beta 2 and the DVBLink PVR: The ghost timers are there as soon as I go into the guide. I can't see any logic regarding what ghost timers appear, most programs say they have a timer but some do not. Never saw this on Jarvis. edit: after messing around a bit more, this is only getting more confusing. Different ghost timers appear on subsequent restarts of Kodi, occasionally I don't see any at all. Can you guys try clearing your EPG data when you're not seeing any or as many ghost timers? BEcause I just tried that and once the EPG had been refreshed almost every program had a timer again. I'll try and get a video of this posted shortly because it is difficult to explain.
