NEWA_AutoSearch wishlist ideas

[bgowland]

1. Conditional searches for NEWA_AutoSearch, examples:
   
   Channels - UK Freeview has a number of +1 channels which show the same programmes as their name-sake but 1 hour later. Example, ITV1 and ITV1 +1. It would be useful for an all channels search to be able to ignore specific ones to prevent duplicate recordings being scheduled.
   
   Search phrases - I have a search that matches 'Agatha Christie' but my wife has a DVD box set of all episodes of Poirot and I'm forever having to delete those after an auto-search (ITV3 plays them constantly). Something like a search phrase for 'Agatha Christie NOT Poirot' would be useful.
   
   
   
2. Dumping results of searches set as 'reminder-only' to a text (XML?) file would be useful for my nDroid utility (and possibly for other developers until (if) sub adds reminders into NextPVR).
   

Cheers,

UJB,

I'm still very keen on this. I use NEWA still, and very well it works too, except it dopesn't seem to deal with duplicates.
The exceptions and "AND" ideas in the posts I put up and bgowlands "NOT" post would still be great for me to "avoid duplicate recordings where possible" when recorded using NEWA.

(Puzzled by the occasional miss though, it looks like someone tried to avoid it!)

Hi UJB .... NEWA has been so so good, so haven't been here much, although now and then I get a pang for some features that I have discussed before.
Like this one. It'll be in the next version right :-)
