In my utopia, I would like to be able to schedule future recordings (or notify me possibly via message or email or whatever) based on key parameters.
For Example:
[INDENT] Record everything that has "James Garner"
or Record everything that has "James Garner" but not from the Series "8 simple Rules"
or Record everything that has "James Garner" but only movies (Or only non-movies)
or Record everything that has "James Garner" but not programs that have previously been recorded successfully
or Record everything that has "James Garner" with an "Original Air Date" < 1/1/1980
or whenever it comes up, Record the Program "Support your local Sheriff"[/INDENT]
I feel like I'm constantly having to query the guide for programs or movies, and then I have to try and remember if it is one I have seen before. Because as you know there is only 2 weeks worth of guide data so it makes finding that program a chore.
Then for some options, allow it to record from a specific channel or any channel, at a certain quality, like HD, what priority level to assign it, and the option to remove this search Parameter once it has been fulfilled or by a certain date allow it to expire.
I'm sure scheduling is already advanced and becoming more so as new priorities and queries are identified, but I think the above feature is not something that I have seen available anywhere (Maybe TIVO has some of this). It might even be something you could allow us to script, hopefully via the GUI.
What do you think? Something you'd be interested in? I know I'd be extremely interested in this one.
