Now I fully understand that Myth should only record 1 of the 2 showings
since they're the exact same episode, however I can't figure out why
it's electing to record Monday's episode instead of Friday's since
Friday is an earlier date. There's no other recording happening
on Friday at the same time which would interfere. (I've got dual
tuners, so that wouldn't matter anyway) What I would expect to
see is that Myth would record Friday's episode, and skip Monday's with
an indication on Monday's schedule of "P" for "previously
recorded." <br>

Does this seem like a problem to anyone else, or am I just misunderstaning how the behavior is supposed to work? <br>

Yes, there's a fine point of Myth's scheduler that you're
missing. When attempting to determine which showing of an episode
should be recorded, Myth looks at many factors (tuner priority,
priority for that specific recording rule, channel priority,
etc). I'm going to assume here that you've set the same priority
for both of your recording rules. Since the rest of the details
of those two rules are the same, then both the Friday and Monday
episodes would have the exact same priority. When Myth sees two
showings with the same priority, it prefers the one that matches the
recording rule that was added first. Since you set up the Monday
recordings prior to setting up the Friday recordings it's most likely
choosing the Monday recording because that rule was entered
first. Incidentally, you might want to remove one of those
duplicate recording rules and set the other one to "Find and record one
showing of this title each week". That would allow Myth to record
one episode each week and still choose between the Friday and Monday
showings to avoid conflicts.<br>
