I noticed recently that i'd had a lot of extra episodes of repeated programmes recording and some being missed, when checking lots of repeats were marked as 'new' and had that day as the OAD (when some were originally broadcast in the 1990s, so not like its a same day repeat). I reached out with a ticket to SD who advised that on their end the OAD was correct. I checked the changelog and saw that "removed option to disable NEW flag overriding original air date" was there.
I've just rolled back to the previous version and (the checkbox to override is unticked) and the OADs are all correct again and the shows aren't marked as new.
Is there a reason that the newest version seems to default as if the checkbox that used to be there is ticked? Is there a way to force it to not override OAD on the latest version?
It wasn't overriding all repeats, just some select series, maybe the data from SD has something in it that causes it, but the OAD from SD themselves was always the right date.
I've emailed SD back as it looks like their data (this was sent by their admin to me) shows the proper OAD but also that it's 'new' - this may have always been the case that it was flagged as new but epg123 previously wasnt overriding it by default.
