[Bug]: NextPVR no longer sees Series and Episode information.

[GuruSR]

What happened?

Before the 16th of July, (SxxExx) would show up on episodes listed. Now, they're not. I do SEE them in the entries, but apparently they're not what NextPVR (4.2.5) wants.

Any means of adding a environment variable to set them back to the way they were? I'm thinking it is recording shows that aren't NEW because it isn't seeing the schedule properly.

Relevant log output

On a NBC channel for news.

    <episode-num system="series">SH00325847</episode-num>

This is an example, unsure what the NextPVR (4.2.5) wants, but it isn't reading this information anymore.

    <episode-num system="season">6</episode-num>
    <episode-num system="episode">35</episode-num>
    <episode-num system="series">SH03275478</episode-num>

Yes, older NextPVR version 4.2.5, because the system is a Windows 7 and the newer software no longer has a UI built onto it that supports the remote I'm using.

This is what I see on the node version updated this morning
<episode-num system="season">1</episode-num> <episode-num system="episode">21</episode-num> <episode-num system="series">SH02642239</episode-num> <episode-num system="onscreen">S01E21</episode-num>

[jesmannstl]

The Perl version had these fields I wonder if Nextpvr and Jellyfin for that matter used these

I just implemented another episode-num that XMLTV has to offer.

Here are the 5 outputs now that I have:

    <episode-num system="season">5</episode-num>
    <episode-num system="episode">216</episode-num>
    <episode-num system="series">SH05918266</episode-num>
    <episode-num system="onscreen">S05E216</episode-num>
    <episode-num system="xmltv_ns">5 . 216 . 0/1</episode-num>

can you see if any of those work for you?

can you see if any of those work for you?

This is in the docker as well, any chance you can also look at why I'm seeing all shows as "New" or would this be part of something missing? The perl script prior to July 16 didn't give me any issues.

I believe the <previously-shown /> tag is missing

[jesmannstl]

Jellyfin is a pain to troubleshoot
Adding <episode-num system="xmltv_ns">0 . 13 . 0</episode-num> works to display Season/Episode in Jellyfin
Adding <previously-shown /> fixes the "New" on every program issue (only Elsbeth had this added)

Other Note xmltv_ns is 1 number less on Season and Episode or will show incorrect. Example tomorrow's Big Brother on this test is <episode-num system="onscreen">S27E07</episode-num> <episode-num system="xmltv_ns">27 . 7 . 1</episode-num>
Output shows 28-8 in error

[jef]

So if it's not "" then it's <previously-shown />? Will update

[jef]

Just made some improvements. Take a look at the last and let me know!

[jesmannstl]

Well <previously shown /> did not update and the <episode-num system="xmltv_ns">1 . 16</episode-num> in this example should be <episode-num system="xmltv_ns">0 . 15</episode-num>to display correctly

[jesmannstl]

With the help of Gemini I was able to update the tvlistings.ts and xmltv.ts files to get both the <previously shown /> and correct output for xmltv_ns output and displays correctly in Jellyfin and Emby. Files attached adding .txt

tvlistings.ts.txt
xmltv.ts.txt

[jesmannstl]

@GuruSR if you want to test download the two txt files in my previous comment and rebuild using those ts files replacing the originals in /src/ (removing the .txt) and build it again. I always started fresh. I did two programs in Nextpvr one new and one old and said record New episodes only and they are correct in the scheduler
