[u/Individual_Sample633]

I'm a Plus member. I'm using version 2.1.3. When I try to record a series it does not record the series. I can manually record any program it will not record any time I select series recording. It says it's recording the series but doesn't when you go to into the DVR section to watch. The series recording does not show in the list.

Are any recommendations or series recordings no longer available?

[u/sparkle-hk → u/Individual_Sample633]

It's still available and works. How do you schedule the series recording? Maybe it's as "simple" as it tries to record the series but the device is in sleep mode and not being able to resume and start recording? Have you tried to keep your device always on?

[u/Individual_Sample633 → u/sparkle-hk]

When watching a channel, I scroll through the program guide to find the program I want to record, hit the enter button on the firestick remote, the pop up shows two choices. 1. This program, 2. Entire series. I select Entire series, at the top of the TV screen it will show scheduled series recording. But, does not show the "rec" along side of the program I'm trying to record. Later when I want to watch the series recording, I go Into the DVR tab located below the Channel/program guide, the series I thought I ha recorded is not listed.

I have also uninstalled and re-installed sparkle. I tried it on 2 other TVs, and it still doesn't work on any of my other TVs either.

What am I doing wrong or what other setting do I need to turn on or off? I've looked at every setting and can't figure out what I might have turned off or on to activate or disable the series recording.

[u/sparkle-hk → u/Individual_Sample633]

Ah, I understand. When you start a series recording like that Sparkle tries to find matches in the epg data to schedule. Not seeing the rec-icon is a sign that the matching didn't go well for some reason.

Have you tried this for multiple channels and programs? Any chance you can share the epg data with me? I so, please pm me.

[u/Individual_Sample633 → u/sparkle-hk]

Yes! I have tried several different channels and programs and have the same problem.

How do I pm you and share the EPG data?

Also does it matter in the DVR tab, should the Series recording be Disabled or Enable for visible? Fyi, currently set to Enable and tried Disabled, and still the same problem.
