Sage Intelligence Didn't Work

[abasu2003]

This is the first instance in almost 8 months of Sage that it didn't record somethign it was supposed to. I have Arrested Development as a favorite with pretty high priority set to both First Runs and ReRuns. Today I foudn that it didn't record either one of the 2 new airings today. I have no idea why not. I regularly check my scheduled conflicts and I definitely dont' remember seeing Arrested Development on there. But beyond that, one of the showings had no other favorite (or other manual/ir recording going against it). Sage just didn't record anything for that half hour. For the second half hour, Sage recorded somethign that had a lower priority on the favorite list. When I go to guide, I see that Arrested Development has the Favorites outline, and its not showing up as watched (its new so of course it shouldn't be).

I guess nothing can be done about this, but I'm wondering if anybody knows of a reason this happened. Kind of mad about this. Two missed episodes of a show that isn't always on and both of them new.

What are your exact favorite settings set to for that favorite?

Ok, after checking the favorites options I figured out what it was. I had AutoDelete set to No, and the maximum at 3. I didn't realize that would be the behavior. My mistake, and good to know for the future.

I had a feeling that was the problem.

BTW: that was a changed going from v2.0 -> v2.1; previously, the settings you just listed would have caused SageTV to not auto-delete that fav, but it wouldn't stop recording at 3 episodes. Now, it will stop at 3, since it isn't allowed to delete one of the favs to make room for another one once it reaches the max you set. (OK, so it might end up recording more than 3 if several shows are scheduled in a row.) I like using those 2 settings together to keep a couple episodes of some series available, while preventing it from recording too many episodes every day.
