Question Why "INVALID AIRING" in sage recordings?

Tonight I recorded friends but it shows up in the Sage Recordings as a "INVALID AIRING". The EPG data all looks good and as program details and the file name also looks proper. The recorded file does have the correct length (32 Min) and airing time for the file, but none of the program details. I did have a problem with sage about an hour after this recording where sage shut itself down for no apparent reason. No other recordings show this problem. Anyone have any idea what causes this? I think it is possible that the EPG data was being updated during the airing. While looking at the System Information, it shows Watching as "BAD AIRING", this is incorrect I should be watching "INVALID AIRING". So far the recording appears to be correct. Has anyone else seen this problem?

I get this problem fairly frequently in Sage 1.4.10 but have never been able to get a satisfactory answer as to why this happens. I too would liek to know the conditions under which SageTV reports INVALID AIRINGS.

Are you using the official guide data or XMLTV/Zap2It plugin?

Official guide data. It has only been happening with the viewer's choice episodes of Friend's for the last 3 weeks. Maybe there is something in the title that sage doesn't like.

My speculation about what caused this problem is that the episode originally was titled Viewer's Choice. At some point during or after the airing the actual episode name was provided. The file saved on my disk is Friends-ViewersChoice-20507868-0, when I look at the EPG data it shows "The One Where Everybody Finds Out". If I look at the episode for next week it shows the episode as "Viewers Choice", which I suspect will change during or after the airing. This problem is probably due to the contest NBC has concerning guessing what episode will be shown.

That sounds like a very good explanation.

Does the XMLTV/Zap2It plugin cause the problem? If so, how? Maybe I can change the coding of either or both of them to resolve the issue.
