[RS] Problem scheduling The Sky At Night

[Dave F.]

Hi
For as long as I remember I've had problems scheduling The Sky At Night.
These are the four rules I'm using to try & record the program.

title {"The Sky at Night"} action scheduleevents
title {The Sky at Night} action scheduleseries
title {The Sky at Night} action scheduleevents
title {"The Sky at Night"} action scheduleseries

As it's only broadcast once a month I'm unsure if BBC/Freeview etc register it as a 'series'

If I click on the 'Match Events' button it displays the next episode on
Mon 13 May 2024 22:00, but RS fails to schedule it or send an email notification.

Any tips?

Mine works fine (standard – not advanced – rule):



I received the associated notification email only Monday:

Once you catch it being broadcast, they do offer series recording.

Sadly another example of how the BBC have messed up its excellent programmes.

OK, I've set it up as per yours. Is there a way to push it through to test immediately if it's registered, or do I have to be patient & wait for the confirmation email?

I think if you "Reset Matched Events" it makes it trigger again, but just setting the rule should cause it to act. It doesn't happen immediately, I think there's a daily run to prevent the server being overwhelmed.
