<br>
Another question for you. The record table and the API have
a field <br>
called "search type", which can take the values:<br>
<br>
kNoSearch<br>
kPowerSearch<br>
kTitleSearch<br>
kKeywordSearch<br>
kPeopleSearch<br>
kManualSearch<br>
<br>
These all are supported by the scheduler.<br>
<br>
With mythfrontend I can create kNoSearch (from the program
guide), <br>
kPowerSearch (from Custom Record), kManualSearch (from
Manual Schedule). <br>
However I cannot see how to create kTitleSearch,
kKeywordSearch, <br>
kPeopleSearch. I can in fact create those from mythweb. Do
you know how <br>
they are created in mythfrontend? They can be updated from
mythfrontend <br>
but the search string cannot be updated from mythfrontend.
The search <br>
string is stored in the description field.<br>
<br>
I have never used those searches. I am wary of creating
recording rules <br>
in mythweb as I have had problems in the past with it.<br>
<br>
I am adding program scheduling to leanfront and not sure
what to support.<br>
<br>

<p>Hi John</p>
<p>Yes I saw that, but it does a schedule search for programs
matching people and other things. Then if you click one of the
entries found, and select to record it, you still get a recording
rule with SearchType None. It is just a way of searching the
schedules. <br>
</p>
<p>If I go into mythweb and create a "custom recording schedule",
"people search" and type Jennifer Aniston, I find that it has
scheduled several hundred recordings, everything with Jennifer
Aniston. Is this useful? How do I do it with the frontend?</p>
<p>John - while you are there - On my Ceton tuner if I schedule a
recording on a premium channel that I do not subscribe to, instead
of just failing, the log fills with thousands of messages as
follows:</p>

<p>If I did this accidentally on my prod machine the disk may
actually run out of space due to that log.</p>
