I primarily use EWA for scheduling recordings so I spend the majority of my time using the Episode Search capabilities... so little improvements made here mean a lot!
I have a relatively small number of "favorite" channels (< 15) and a small number of genres that are of interest to me (probably < 10).
Alternate options that I think would meet my needs are:
a) Allow me to leave the genre BLANK (I assume this equates to ALL) and then select my group of favorite channels. While the Episode Search page theoretically allows this, I end up with an "index out of range" error if I select more that about 3 channels. Obviously EWA has to sort through a lot of info in this instance and it is presumably simply running out of allocated memory.
b) Allow the genre selection widget to function more like the channels selection widget... allowing me to select more than one genre as a group. In this way I could (theoretically) select my favorite multiple genre first, and then select my multiple favorite channels second.
c) Maybe have some place on the config page where I could enter my favorite channels (as a list) and my favorite genre (as a list) and then have a single button on the Episode Search page that is simply "search your favorite channels and genre"... this being (perhaps) my favourite option.
Perhaps there is already a way to do accomplish my goal of which I am unaware....
