Use History to view your recording and viewing history. The series list on the left represents all the series that have been recorded on the network.  Each series in the list indicates the number of current recordings followed by the number of known recordings, in parenthesis.  For example, "(6/60)" indicates that there are 6 current recordings out of 60 known recordings. 

Note:  This history data is cumulative and will build up over time.  When the software is first installed, run the Client application at least once and click refresh to populate the Series Info database with the existing recordings in your collection.

On the History page, select a series and then click OK to open the Browse Episode History page.

Episode HistoryThe Browse Episode History page lists all of the known episodes of the selected series.  A known episode has been recorded at least once.  The Series Info database keeps track of all known episodes, even after they are deleted.  The data retained for all known episodes is episode title, original air date, watched date and episode checked state.

Episodes in yellow represent current recordings.  The folder location of each current recording is included.  The folder location is the folder nickname from the Recorded TV Manager folder list.

Select an episode and then click OK to toggle the checked state of the episode On or Off

Important: Changing the checked state of an episode from the History page will not be immediately reflected on other pages.  The history page will issue a series update request which will be handled as described in Series Info Update Issues.

Note: WTV files do not expose the episode title or original air date (see WTV file support), the program will use a combination of the series name and date recorded for the purposes of this list.  See example here.
