plex keeps adding the same event multiple times each day #4

Hi, If I add a new event, then I get a message that Plex has added a new episode. When I add another new event on the same day (even if the events have different days) then I get 2 messages of new episodes: one from the first episode and one for the second episode. When I add a third event, I get 3 messages... Is this a problem from your scanner?

What are you using to get the notifications?

So you are saying that if, on a single day, you add an event for 2015-10-03, one for 2015-10-06 and one fore 2015-10-09 for example you will get three notifications when the third one is added?

And adding an event the next day will only send you one notification?

I use Plexwatch for my notifications: https://github.com/ljunkie/plexWatch

It's exactly as you described: I add the event of 2015-10-03 and get one notification for that event Later that day I add the event of 2015-10-06 and I get two notifications, so I get the first one 2 times On the end of that day I add the event of 2015-10-09 and I get 3 notifications. At the beginning of the next day I add the event of 2015-10-12 and I only get one notification.

I don't have this problem with other series or with movies, only with my Sports section

hmm, I just added a new event and looked at my notifications: I have got a notification for each event I added since yesterday. I'll try rebooting my pc and see if I still have that issue ;)

This was due to the fact that epiosde numbers would be different every time you scanned a file. I've changed it to use a hash of the filename rather than a random number and it looks good now.
