"like" recording and re-scheduling

[Ton]

Hi,

Maybe it's my misunderstanding of the manual recording options, but I am testing with scheduling recordings with a "like" clause and see the following behaviour:

When I enter a manual, daily recording with a "like" phrase on a single channels, all shows available in the EPG at that time get scheduled. However, whenever the EPG gets updated, the shows get cancelled and they don't get scheduled again....

I have taken the following steps to re-produce:
a) Create a recording (see attached screenshot for details)
b) check that recordings are scheduled
c) run "nextpvr -emptyepg", to force a situation where new shows have to be scheduled
d) run "nextpvr -updateepg"

Logs are attached....

Anyone have any ideas?

I am very happy that we have keyword search but I'm a bit confused too:

If you use the advanced rule does it ignore the start and end time ? I am guessing that it would need to if it is to be useful ?

Yes, if you specify an advanced rule, then the time is ignored.

Sub, Could you make it so the date fields are greyed out or hidden when an advanced rule is selected. Thanks for adding the keyword search feature BTW. I am still playing with it. I have not yet got it to record. I am guessing that I have the same issue as TON. Perhaps a few more example rules would help.

The attached patch should fix the issue.
