SearchWiz wish list

[backforward]

Thanks JavaWiz for a great add-on I have been playing with it and config files and have couple of notes.

Recording status is already marked in "program times list" and that's great but it would be quite helpful if you could mark also the items in the "program list". I tried copying eyeCatcher to ProgramListSelected nodes but it was happily ignored I guess you retrieve recording status only for selected show.

It seems @rating contains combined star-rating and categories. Same with @channel that contains combined channel, start and stop dates. Any chance to get all of them split?

Could you use locale settings for date/time display that goes into @channel variable, at the moment it seems to be hardcoded to US locale.

Cheers

That's correct. I don't believe it makes sense to have it in the Program lists, since if it is a series, each entry in the program time list could be a different episode. What would you show in the program list, recorded or not, it depends on what episode is selected.

Yes, I can see about splitting these in the next version.

I'll take a look at this as well.

Well, every couple of days I go and check what shows/movies to record. It could be that a movie was already marked for recording and the function would just save me a bit of time

Regarding series/movies with multiple air-time - I think we all set recording to "all on the same channel" or "all for the same time slot" to handle episodes. So, I would suggest you display the highest (recording?) status in the "program times" even if just one time slot is marked for recording.

In any case I thought it to be just an option, on top of the "program times list"
