Skip to content Schedule a recording, and repeat it every week
Follow a show by name, or hold a time slot on any days you choose, even on a channel with no guide.
Scheduling and repeating are paid features, on Trial, Pro, Lifetime and Max. They are reached from the same long-press menu.
Schedule one showing
Open the guide, move to a program that has not started, press OK and choose to record it. It appears in the Planner under Upcoming.
Repeat Recording
| Mode | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Follow the show | Your guide names the program. mtivi records it whenever that name appears, even if the broadcaster moves it. |
| Record a time slot | You want a channel between two times on chosen days. Works with no guide at all. |
Set one up
- Long-press the program, or the channel
A program gives you both modes. A channel with no guide gives you the time slot mode.
- Choose the days
Any combination of the week, not only daily or weekly.
- Set padding once, if you want it
Settings, then Planner, holds how early a recording starts and how long it keeps going after the listed finish. Both default to on time.
Managing a series of recordings
- Skip one occurrence and keep the rest.
- Stop repeating entirely.
- If the broadcaster moves the show, a following recording re-snaps to the new slot on its own.
When a paid plan ends, repeats stop and everything already recorded stays playable. That is the same rule as everywhere else in mtivi: you keep what you have.
Everything scheduled is listed in the Planner, with what already ran and how it turned out.
