advanced rules + OnlyNewEpisodes

[pBS]

I'm trying to make an advanced rule with OnlyNewEpisodes and it crashes...is there any way?
it works if i alter the exported recurring xml to include it...
"title like '%football%' and subtitle like '%texan%' and OnlyNewEpisodes"
or "... OnlyNewEpisodes = 'true' "
second one puts error in logs, first one nothing...neither one schedules anything..

if it isn't currently possible, can ability to select OnlyNewEpisodes for advanced rules be added?

in the database the column name is "first_run", possible values are "Y" or "N".

by the way, with the fall season starting, does a rule like this seem interesting?

Code:

season==1 and episode==1 and first_run=="Y"

I think I'll set this tonight to catch all the series premieres, and then I can schedule any shows that look interesting.

Yes, I've been using a rule like this for quite a while now. (Definitely before the beginning of the last Fall Season.) The only "catch" is that I have to notice the series premier recordings and decide if I want to continue them (and consequently schedule that series) before the 2nd episode.

in what table is there a "first_run? i see that nowhere in rules...
i see only oid, name, match_rules, priority and enabled in recurring...
oh i see, in epg_event....
shouldn't we be using single quotes in advanced rules? or does it matter?
doesn't seem to matter...

aha, what about selecting a different target drive?
i can do it from a exported xml...

Did you figure this out? I'm trying to do the same thing to avoid the NFL Network reruns. (except for with %patriots%).

Perhaps I should have asked before last night. :eek:

[johnsonx42]

as I posted in the first reply, the field in question is first_run, with a possible value of 'Y' or 'N'.

Technically NextPVR is missing the proper SD field for this which is the Live flag.

yes, indeed, I had wondered whether the EPG data included info about whether a program is Live or not. That'd be something the user might like to see in the TV Guide too... do I smell a new "LIVE" tag to go with "NEW", "PREM" and "FIN", and a new color too? Yellow?

(channel_oid = 830 or channel_oid = 894) and first_run="Y"

thanks for this thread. I hope to try this tonight and hope this works...

should be..
(channel Hallmark or channel Hallmark Movies & Mysteries) and new movies...

hope this works as this will be massive brownie points with the wife!
