In the meantime, if you temporarily delete that recurring recording, does it load again?

It isn't even showing as an upcoming recording under Kodi's Timers list, and the Timer Rules page just shows "Add timer..." and has done since it all went weird.
While recordings of pre-existing timers worked ok until sometime on Sunday, even those are not now happening despite being displayed in the Timers list. I think I can still record by setting a manual one-time entry but will have to check.

OK. I go to NPVR Recordings menu then when I cycle through to Pending Recordings and try then to move to Recurring Recordings I get a warning about the invalid character - "Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. [squiggle] hexadecimal character 0x19 is an invalid character. Line 2, position 29".
Clicked Continue and that got me to the Recurring Recordings list. No sign of the America's program in that list.

I don't suppose there is any way to edit the database manually?

That character is till in the EPG database so don't try and re add it, I am surprised that you can even get an EPG list for that channel.

Is that a big chore for you? Don't bother if it is but I'd have to source the editor, install the thing, work out what needs to be removed or otherwise changed. Then I'd probably find I've messed it up and have to start over with the copy of the db3 that, obviously, I made before making edits!

Forget that - doing it myself using an Ubuntu sqlite editor. Will report back in 10 minutes.

Worked. No error in the NPVR Recurring Recordings and the Kodi Timer Rules list now populates. I've got a recurring timer set for sometime in the next 2 or 3 hours, so I will hopefully see that working instead of the bunch of recent failed recordings.

We crossed posted, Martin, but many thanks anyway. I have taken note of what you said about not trying to instance that program again - it wasn't particularly special anyway, so no real loss. I'd still like to know why the EPG data people got a weird character in there because I'm sure I've had recurring rules in the past for programs with apostrophes etc in their titles.

Four recurring recordings since fixing the database. At least three of them failed, whereas I've not had failures for months prior to the recent issue. Wondering whether I should revert the dll patch.

I have kodi 18 rc4 18 rc5 and 17.6 on different machines
all timers are missing on both rc4 and rc5, I can still set recording on both rc4 and rc5, whether 1 off record or series linked, they just don't show up
17.6 everything is fine, all timers show up
