I had a problem with the latest episode of QI XL not recording. Looking
back in Previously Recorded it didn't record because Myth thought it had
been recorded previously, even though it's a brand new episode. It looks
like it incorrectly has the same episode ID as the episode from last
week, even though the episode title and description is different.
Is there any way to tell Myth to not use the episode IDs for duplicate
matching, and instead to use whatever option is selected in the
recording rule, e.g. "Subtitle then Description"? It's rather confusing
having that option in the recording rule then finding that Myth doesn't
actually use that to run duplicate matching.
Cheers,
John
