Re: Downloading next episode issue, and New Series Issue.

I'm having the same issue too.  Started about a week ago.  Complete failure to download next episode.  Work around seems to be changing the download format for each episode to Standard definition and then it downloads but is a total pain.  Autodownload doesn't work and you can't queue downloads.  They have to be done maually one at time.

Re: Downloading next episode issue, and New Series Issue.

I've noticed if I have hundreds of episodes (The Simpsons... I'm looking at you!) recorded there is a strange thing happens where in Recordings > Manage > Disk Space - there is a really odd display where all the characters run together on the top line (the one using the most space) and instead of a solid white progress bar the bar is blacked out, although it still displays the drive usage (85% in my case). When this happens I have issues downloading.

 

Here's what I did:

 

Deleted all the shows where the display was corrupted (you can then un delete them if you want)

Clear the download queue 

Reboot the box


That works every time for me. Shows that are series linked for literally hundreds of shows seem to cause the problem (Big Bang Theory, Impractical Jokers and bizarrely The Chase 🤣 and the aforementioned Simpsons... don't judge my viewing habits, there's 5 people use this box 🤭)

Just started doing this again with me in the last week or so. What I've also noticed over the last year (this issue has probably happened about 3 times in the year) during the times of this issue is that it only seems to affect the non HD downloads. If it happens, I just download the HD version, with no issue. However, it is a pain.
