Manual recording API

[mvallevand]

I am trying to schedule a manual recording for a show in Kodi.  Is there a way using the API to keep it manual if I provide a name?  In this case my 2hr recording is being truncated to one hour.

Code:

Looking at the code, if the name is an exact match on that channel, for that time, then no - it treats it as a EPG based recording. If the name hadn't been an exact match, it'd have been stayed a manual recording.

Could probably add some sort of &manual=true for the next release if you need it.

I don't really want to make a Kodi specific rule, With the web rule not matching on the name could it be because of XML vs JSON or maybe because Kodi send recording_id: 0 on new recordings?
