Reoccuring recordings match substring in 1.4.7?

[billranton]

Hello,

Since I upgraded to 1.4.7, I've noticed that season recordings have started scheduling recordings that match as a substring, rather than an exact match as it did before.

I get my EPG through birtles' XMLTV tool, and post-process them to insert an '®' to the end of the programme titles of repeats so that I can exclude them from season recordings. Previously this worked, but now they are all recorded. I thought this might just be a quirk of the post processing, but I've noticed that my season recording for 'The Apprentice' has scheduled a recording of 'The Apprentice USA'.

Is this a setting somewhere, or a change in behaviour? Has anyone else noticed this?

Yup, reported (but not an immediately obvious title) http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=44252

Ah yes that's the one. I had a scan through the forum but didn't register that title as what I was looking for.

Well, here's one vote to change it back

Although if implemented with wildcards it could be a useful feature, much as I use "search" at the moment.

Behind the scenes its always supported wildcards, but there is no way to schedule a recording like this in the UI (you have to manually edit the database record).
