Hello Guyâs,
I have the following question.
Feature request question:
------------------------------
new recording type: based on channel name, show name and a check if description text does not already exist in database before recording is really starting.
Explanation:
There are channels with a lot of repetitions of TV programmes, like the Discovery channel. The name and time of the new TV programs are the same as the programs already broadcasted. It would be very nice if there is an option to only record new TV programs, and not the repetitions of the already shown broadcast.
I think it can be made possible with an extra (new) recording type based on the already recording methods, but with a check before recording start. I think that normally the TV programs are scheduling based on channel, name and time?
With this new option the same can be done but before the scheduling really starts to record the TV program, it would check the database if there is already a broadcast recording with the same name (title) and the same description. If there is no existing TV program with the same title and description the recording can start, otherwise the recording will not start to prevent double recordings of the same TV program. Can you check if this is possible?
Recording type: New Shows (based on channel, title and description).
To make it easy the available tuner (recording device) is claimed also if the recording is not started when the TV program is already in the database.
The scheduling can also be displayed in the TV guide but maybe with a other colour?
Perhaps the TV programmes that are a repetition of the original broadcast can have another colour as well?
------------------------------
I hope someone can make this very nice feature.
Best Regards,
Hugo
