Comment(by Nick Morrott <knowledgejunkie (at) gmail (dot) com>):

 Taking a closer look in current trunk, I have a query before this ticket
 is closed or investigated further:

 =====
 When *exactly* should the Never Record option be displayed on the menu?
 Should it only be displayed when the selected dupe detection method will
 work for the current programme?
 =====

 I've been experimenting with a record rule for a show "Medical Detectives"
 that gets listings via EIT on DVB-S. There are no program subtitles
 available, only descriptions. I set this rule up (anytime on channel) to
 purposefully conflict with another recording to test the initial reason
 for this ticket.


 With Subtitle & Description dupe matching:

 No dupes are found/marked due to the missing subtitles in the listings and
 the selected dupe detection (as expected). However, the entries marked as
 conflicting, and earlier/later unconflicting entries all include a "Never
 record" option on their menus, even though it does nothing due to the dupe
 detection method. In the future it would do something if another rule
 matching the title was created, or the current rule was amended.


 With Subtitle then Description dupe matching:

 With blank subtitles but good descriptions, the dupe detection works as
 expected and the scheduler can move the conflicting showings to a later
 time. However, the entries marked later (and guessing any earlier entries
 too) do not include a "Never record" option on their schedule menu, whilst
 the bumped copies of those entries do. Here I think that they should all
 have the option so that a user can use any of the entries (earlier, later
 or the entry that will record) to add a 'fake' recorded entry into
 oldrecorded.


 With subtitle dupe matching:

 None of the upcoming recordings matching the title have a "Never Record"
 entry on their menu (as would be expected).


 With description dupe matching:

 *ALL* entries have Never Record entries, even those flagged as record
 later (contrast this with sub-then-desc above)


 With no dupe matching:

 Again, none of the upcoming recordings matching the title have a "Never
 Record" entry on their menu (as would be expected).
