I have a Channels DVR subscription that allows me to access TVE feeds, and also allows me to use it as an IPTV source (and provides a guide). I have it working fine, which is great now that Cox went DRM.
Channels DVR also has a way to bring in a XMLTV guide from a http source, which works fine as well, except everything is showing as new, so my subscriptions try to record all showings, even if they aren't new. I have tested this on Emby as well, and it works fine. I am relatively sure that other PVRs are using the Date tag to know if it is new or not.
Below is an example of a program that is showing in JRiver as new, but shows in all other apps I tried as not new. If you notice the Date tag, it shows the first aired date.
<programme start="20210917140000 +0000" stop="20210917150000 +0000" channel="6053">

</programme>If I look at an example of a program that should be marked new, the date in <programme start> and the date in <date> match.
Is there a way to fix this? I could of course use Channels DVR as the recording engine, but I prefer the power and flexibility of JRiver.
