Duplicate Recordings
How does Sage know when you have already recorded and/or watched a show? Does it base it exclusively on the ShowID, or is it a combo of ShowID and Title?

As far as I know, it is based on the show ID. But, for SH-prefixed IDs (same ID for all airings), there is an option in Detailed Setup -> Customize to have it do additional checks in trying to determine if the show is the same.

I am using it to create favorites like "HD - American Idol", but if I have a recording conflict and the show cannot be recorded on the HD encoder, or during one of the HD offerings I wanted it to fall back to an SD encoder/offering. From what you are saying, I should be able to add a second SD version of the same favorite (E.G. "American Idol") and make it a lower priority recording, then if then if the HD favorite doesn't get recorded the SD will - right? The only thing I can think of is that I may need to adjust my padding, maybe have the HD favorite start 1 minute earlier than the SD favorite. Does this sound right? |

I'm not certain about that... the favorites based on show titles schedule recordings based on the show title & I believe it is possible to at least sometimes get the same unwatched show recorded twice when it is covered by 2 different favs.
I _think_ the Watched status will still be based only on the ID if you were to change the titles in the XMLTV file... but I don't remember that being discussed before, so I can't guarantee it. - Andy
